the offer document has been submitted to Oslo Børs for final
approval and is expected to be sent to Profdoc shareholders during
the week starting 21 April 2008. The chairman of the board of
Profdoc was informed of CompuGROUP's consideration to launch an
offer in the evening of 18 April 2008.

The Voluntary Cash Offer will not be made in any jurisdiction in
which the making of the offer would not be in compliance

The completion of the Voluntary Cash Offer will be subject to the
conditions summarised below, each one of which may be waived

CompuGROUP in the market, represents more than 90 percent of the shares
and votes outstanding;
ii) That a confirmatory legal, financial/accounting and tax due diligence
review of Profdoc has been completed with a, at the sole discretion of
CompuGROUP, satisfactory result;
iii) That all necessary approvals and clearances from authorities have been
obtained on terms acceptable to CompuGROUP;
iv) That no intervention will be made and no conditions will be imposed by
any other national or international authority or court of law in
connection with the acquisition that the CompuGROUP, in its sole
discretion, determines is unduly burdensome;
v) That prior to completion of the Voluntary Cash Offer there has been no
material adverse change to the value, business, assets (including
intangible assets), liabilities, financial condition, earnings or
solvency of the Profdoc group taken as a whole; and
vi) That the business of the Profdoc group prior to completion of the
Voluntary Cash Offer has in all material respects been conducted in the
ordinary course.

With respect to condition (ii) above, CompuGROUP's intention is to complete its
due diligence investigations prior to the expiry of the offer period, provided
