meeting to elect a new board of directors

 

Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (”Stanley Black & Decker”) has on 2
September 2011 completed its public offer for Niscayah Group AB (publ)
(”Niscayah” or the ”Company”). Stanley Black & Decker at present
controls approximately 95 percent of the shares in Niscayah, has
extended the acceptance period up to and including 23 September 2011 for
the purpose of acquiring additional shares, and has announced that they
have resolved to initiate a compulsory acquisition procedure to acquire
all remaining shares in the Company.

In view of the above the Board of Directors in Niscayah no longer
considers it necessary for the Company to remain listed and has
therefore resolved to apply for delisting of the Company's B-shares on
NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The last day of trading in the Company's B-shares
on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm will be announced as soon as the Company has
received confirmation from NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.

general meeting for the purpose of electing a new Board of Directors.
The meeting will be held on Monday 10 October 2011 at the Company's head
