regarding the tax deductibility of certain transaction costs

Announcement no. 23/2013

Allerød, 2013-09-12 19:50 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matas has today received the
decision by the Danish National Tax Tribunal in the case regarding the tax
deductibility of certain transaction costs as discussed in the prospectus dated
13 June 2013. 

The Danish National Tax Tribunal upholds the decision by the Danish tax
authorities which means that the deductibility of certain transaction costs has
not been accepted. 

The Danish tax authorities have in total increased the taxable income by DKK
126.5 million for the income years 2006 to 2009. As a consequence of this
adjustment, the Danish tax authorities have also denied the deductibility of
certain interest payments for 2008 and 2009 at a level of DKK 18.5 million. 

A decision whether to appeal the decision by the Danish National Tax Tribunal
will made together with the company’s tax advisor.
