Opera is aware of certain rumors in the market with respect to a
specific, alleged, acquisition. It is a corporate policy of Opera not to
respond to market rumors. Opera is constantly assessing potential
targets and is from time to time involved in negotiations to acquire
assets and companies. Opera can confirm that negotiations have taken
place with respect to an unnamed target. However, media speculation that
an agreement to acquire a company has been signed or is likely to be
signed in the very near future is not correct. Opera is not involved in
any negotiations for possible acquisitions or other matters which
pursuant to the Securities Trading Act or Oslo Børs' Continuing
Obligations are currently disclosable to the market. Opera will, in
accordance with its obligations as a listed company, inform the market
if and when any major agreements have been signed.
