With reference to Nets A/S's prospectus dated 13 September 2016, Nets has today

purchase of the remaining shares was entered into at the same time. On 31
December 2016, EDIGard was owned 57.7% by Nets and 42.3% by its founders and key
employees.
Tom Scharning, Senior Vice President, Corporate Services in Nets, says
"We have been developing EDIGard in a partnership with the founders since 2013,
and I am delighted to look back at the excellent development of this company.
EDIGard's digitisation technology has strengthened our ability to deliver more
flexible services with short time-to-market to our customers."
