B&B TOOLS acquires industrial reseller in Norway

TOOLS AS (part of the B&B TOOLS Group) has today entered into an agreement to
acquire all shares in Tønsberg Maskinforretning AS (“TM”). The acquisition is
part of the Group’s efforts to strengthen the position of the TOOLS chain in
the Norwegian market. 

TM is a reseller of industrial components and consumables to the industrial and
construction sectors in southern Norway. TM generates annual revenue of
approximately MNOK 20 and has 10 employees. TM is already a member of the TOOLS
chain. 

“Tønsberg Maskinforretning is a well-established company with a high level of
expertise and a competitive offering of components and consumables in an
attractive market close to the Oslo region,” says Ulf Lilius, President & CEO
of B&B TOOLS. “Through the acquisition, we are now further strengthening our
position in this market.” 

Closing is scheduled for 4 April 2016. The acquisition is expected to have a
marginally positive effect on B&B TOOLS’ earnings per share.
