- I am satisfied that Schibsted Media Group in the first quarter of 2013 has continued to develop according to our strategy, given the challenging markets we operate in. In the first quarter, 45 percent of our revenues and 63 percent of our operating profit was generated by online operations, CEO Rolv Erik Ryssdal says.

- This achievement is a result of significant investments in digital operations over time both in the media houses and in online classifieds. We still have high ambitions, and in this last quarter we invested substantial amounts. Our Online classifieds New Ventures invested NOK 100 million more than in the same period last year. Our Established online classifieds operations continue to grow well, and they maintain or strengthen their market positions. Nevertheless, we believe we can broaden their market positions further, and focus on developing new offerings, Rolv Erik Ryssdal says.

- In our media houses, print products still contribute with considerable profits. That is a good achievement in a market where the structural changes put significant pressure on print revenues. The transition program we announced last fall results in material cost reductions in Q1, which curb the margin decline for these units. In parallel, we continue to focus on building digital competence in our organizations and to constantly develop our online newspapers. Our most digitized newspapers VG and Aftonbladet are main drivers for the development of mobile platforms and web-tv in the Norwegian and Swedish markets, Rolv Erik Ryssdal says.

- The development of digital newspaper subscription models is another important area for us. We have positive results from implementation of a print/online bundled subscription product in Fædrelandsvennen a year ago. Last week a similar model was introduced in Svenska Dagbladet, and most of our newspapers will follow later this year, CEO Rolv Erik Ryssdal says.

The Board of Directors of Schibsted and Media Norge have approved a merger plan that outlines the terms for the merger between Schibsted and Media Norge. The negotiated agreement secures the editorial platform for Media Norge, and supports the Group’s strategic ambitions.

- Since 11 January we have worked to construct the fundament for the merger between Schibsted and Media Norge. I am happy that the negotiations between the two companies have succeeded, and that we have reached a solution we think is good for both parties. We strongly believe in the future both for the media houses and for Finn.no. This means that is strategically vital for Schibsted Media Group to carry out this merger, CEO of Schibsted Media Group Rolv Erik Ryssdal says.

The merger plan establishes that the structure with a parent company for the media houses Aftenposten, Bergens Tidende, Stavanger Aftenblad and Fædrelandsvennen, as well as for Finn.no will be maintained. The Group management and Board of Directors of Media Norge will be unchanged. “New Media Norge” will be fully owned by Schibsted ASA.

When the Media Norge Group was formed in 2009, an editorial platform and common strategic ambitions were established. The merger plan states that this will be maintained. It is also established that the fundament of the Media Norge group will be strong regional Media Houses. The group should contribute to free up resources to strengthen the media houses’ effectiveness and singularity, to develop the total content offering and to contribute to increased quality. At the same time, for instance establishing of new areas of collaboration must be accepted by the Editors-in-Chief of the media houses. The merger will have no practical consequences for the employees.

*Transaction details* · The merger plan establishes that the existing company Media Norge ASA will be merged with the company Nye Media Norge AS, 100 per cent held by Schibsted. · The exchange rate builds on a valuation of NOK 72.50 per Media Norge share, and that each share in Schibsted is valued at NOK 171.35. This values the equity of Media Norge at NOK 7.25 billion. · For the minority shareholder of Media Norge, the settlement of the merger will be through two thirds shares in Schibsted ASA and one third cash. One share in Media Norge gives 0.2821 shares in Schibsted. In addition, the minority shareholders of Media Norge will receive NOK 24.17 in cash per Media Norge share. The cash amount will earn interest of 3 per cent pro annum from 10 January 2011 until the merger is closed.

*Process and timeline* · The merger must be resolved at an extraordinary general meeting in Media Norge ASA. The Board of Directors will call for a general meeting to finally resolve the merger. The intention is to hold a general meeting on 10 March 2011.* · Schibsted owns 85.9 per cent of the shares in Media Norge, but can only vote for 50.1 per cent. Shareholders controlling 6.66 per cent of the shares and 23.5 per cent of the votes at a general meeting have pre accepted a merger based on the valuation NOK 72.50 per share.* · If the merger is approved at the general meeting, a creditor notification period will run for two months.
