The scheme is based on options that entitle the holder to buy shares from the company's holding of treasury shares. The reason for introducing the scheme was to seek to bind employees closer to the group as well as to establish a share price-dependent incentive for participants, thus enhancing agreement between the interests of shareholders and participants. As at 31 December 2009, share options outstanding totalled 112,799. http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+3+Appointment+of+new+IR+%26+Communications+Manager74AD95F6-3DCE-4158-AAE3-5349BA7736B2Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100We are pleased to announce that Charlotte Risskov Kræfting will join Solar as Corporate IR & Communications Manager at corporate headquarters in Kolding, Denmark, as of 1 March 2010.http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+2+Business+activities+in+Solar+Suomi+Oy+have+now+been+divested9FB0523F-487F-4BF4-81C7-7B06C89A52A3Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100All relevant matters have now been clarified, and Ahlsell has acquired all business activities as of today, including Solar Suomi's inventories, some non-current assets and customer-related assets, all in all equalling € 2.7m.http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+1+Shareholder+composition+as+at+31+December+2009E5D1F50E-784B-417C-A85E-DED1397D0E02Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100In 2009, Solar A/S carried out a capital increase of a nominal value of DKK 63,820,000, involving the issuance of 638,200 B shares and sale of 500,000 existing treasury B shares in a private placement through an accelerated bookbuilding process as stated in announcement no. 30 of 27 November 2009 This resulted in a change in the composition of Solar's shareholders. http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+34+Solar+Suomi+Oy+now+expects+settlement+of+the+divestment+of+its+business+activitiesED729D2E-819C-442A-8FE4-C9D0EA832E55Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100Announcement no. 21 dated 3 November 2009 stated that Solar's Finnish subsidiary, Solar Suomi Oy, had begun negotiations for the divestment of its business activities to Ahlsell Oy.

In the first phase of the plan, the joint management team and market and logistics organisations were established in H1 2009. We expect restructuring to generate savings of approx. € 5.2m in 2010, and the full-year effect in 2011 will amount to approx. € 6.9 m. Expectations at the time of the acquisition of Vegro B.V. were yearly synergies of € 3.0-4.0m. The integration plan's provisions will not affect Solar A/S’ expectations for group revenue and EBITA for 2009 but are expected to generate costs of approx. € 5.1m (originally estimated at € 5.0-6.0m), which will be charged to the income statement under special items in Q4 2009. The main cash effect of the provisions will be seen in 2010. The above-mentioned savings are in addition to restructuring initiatives already implemented in 2009. The financial impact of these initiatives amounts to approx. € 5.3m in full-year effect.http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+19+Share+trading+in+Solar+A%2fS+reported+on+30+September+2009E87D34CB-B48F-43FE-B390-D99713C987F4Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0100Pauli Joensen, CED of Aurora Group Danmark A/S, has purchased 715 Solar B shares.http://www.solar.eu/Menu/Investor/Financial+News/Financial+News+Solar+A%2fS/No.+18+Financial+calendar+2010+for+Solar+A%2fSFB2F0BA2-11CB-4958-804D-7019549C9B18Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0100The company has decided that • the annual report for 2009 will be presented on 10 March 2010 and • the annual general meeting will be held on 16 April 2010 at 11:00 at Solar Danmark A/S’s premises in Vejen, Denmark.
