to acquire 1 068 800 shares, CompuGROUP controls 13 662 239

As result of the acquisition of shares, CompuGROUP will make a

consideration of NOK 40 per Profdoc share, which is equal to the

strategic development of Profdoc both in the Nordic region and
in new markets. We belive that NOK 40 per Profdoc share
represents a fair price to our shareholders.", says Einar J. Greve,
chairman of the board of Profdoc.

"We are exited about the acquisition of Profdoc and appreciates the
support for the transaction by the board of Profdoc. Profdoc will
complement our current operations well based on its strong
position in the Nordic area where we currently have no
presence. We are impressed by the strong performance of
Profdoc and look forward to working with the company as part of the
