Ratos subsidiary Bisnode is strengthening its market position in Denmark through
the acquisition of NN Markedsdata, a supplier of credit and market data and
data-driven consulting services. The purchase price of approximately DKK 80m
(enterprise value) is being financed through equity from the owners, which
entails that Ratos will contribute about DKK 55m for its holding.

market position in Denmark through the acquisition of NN Markedsdata. The
company was formed in 1997 and has 40 employees, with its head office located in
Aarhus. Its offering focuses on credit and market data and data-driven
consulting services, and will be an excellent complement to Bisnode's core
operations.

"Bisnode has a leading position in data & analytics. It will be further
strengthened by this strategic add-on acquisition, which is aligned with our
strategy going forward. We continue to develop our core operations, strengthen
our expertise and offering in data-driven analytics in order to help our
