STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The multimedia market is quickly evolving and converging: industries, (telecom, media and internet), technologies and payment options. Operators are adapting in order to
leverage the opportunities modern networks enable and on consumers&#146; growing demand for new services, in a cost-efficient manner. End-to-end revenue management solutions must be able to handle convergent technologies including IP-based broadband
services, a variety of business models and partner relationships, as well as be payment-option agnostic. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">LHS is a leading billing and customer care
software and services company recognized for its competence, award-winning solutions and solid market performance. LHS has more than 120 installations, complementing the strong Ericsson base of more than 150 customers in prepaid/real-time charging,
and about 300 customers in mediation. The acquisition offers significant potential for revenue synergies from cross-selling and greenfield opportunities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

(54 percent increase YoY) and the adjusted EBITDA margin was 17 percent. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The transaction is expected to be accretive from 2008 onwards, excluding possible
