The Komplett Group comprises brands with long heritage and high awareness among consumers and corporate customers. Komplett B2B has a unique starting point as the leading IT reseller for the small and medium-sized enterprises segment with around 20 per cent market share in Norway and a growing position in Sweden. With 30.000 active customers in Norway and 10.000 in Sweden the Group's B2B segment is uniquely positioned to enter the service market at scale. The two companies complement each other well and this transaction will enable Ironstone to continue their growth journey and scale up their operations.

"We see a growing demand from our customers to include basic IT set-up, cloud-based applications and IT security to our hardware offering. The acquisition of Ironstone represents a strategically attractive add-on for Komplett to enter the rapidly growing IT service segment. By coupling Ironstone's leading cloud technology and IT service offering with Komplett's wide-ranging customer base, we will strengthen our market position and increase customer affiliation. We believe the strong market position, brand and reach of Komplett B2B combined with the future proof business model of Ironstone has significant potential," says Komplett CEO Lars Olav Olaussen.

This acquisition meets the growing demand from corporate customers for basic IT services to complement traditional hardware purchases. The pure cloud technology and IT service offered by Ironstone makes a strategically good fit with Komplett's wide-ranging customer base. Ironstone leverages the Microsoft Cloud technology platform to provide IT services to both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. The core offering comprises cutting edge innovative managed services, built on top of Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 and security, as well as consulting and migration. Its experienced team of ~20 employees generated revenues of NOK ~68 million in 2020 and a positive EBITDA contribution. Since its foundation in 2016, they have grown its customer base to count ~100 and receive excellent customer satisfaction scores. •

"This is a milestone agreement for Ironstone. Getting Komplett onboard provides us with a strong foundation for realizing the full potential of Ironstone's growth journey. With the support from Komplett we will continue to invest to accelerate the development of current Ironstone core offering and to develop new disruptive IT services for corporate customers", says Ironstone CEO Ellen Marie Nyhus.

The proceeds from the capital injection will be used to accelerate Ironstone's existing business model and the development of a cloud-based IT service offering for corporate customers. Ironstone is managed by Ellen Marie Nyhus, who will continue to lead the company following the transaction.

Key priorities going forward

• · Continue investing in a strong customer offering
• Sustain efficient operations based on existing business model
