EBITDA/EBITA and EBITDA/EBITA margin have limitations as result of the companies acquired in 2014 and analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of the Group's results as reported under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors RISK FACTORS IN GENERAL Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Since the Issuer is highly dependent on the performance of the Group, the following risk factors relate to the Group, rather than only to the Issuer. The risks described below are not the only risks facing the Group. Investment in the Bonds involves a high degree of risk and to the extent any of the risks described below have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, Bondholders may lose all or part of their original investment. The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in the Group’s business and in investing in the Bonds. The Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the risks of holding the Bonds are exhaustive. Additional risk factors not presently known, or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also render the Issuer unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the Bonds. RISK FACTORS IN GENERAL All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring. It is not possible to quantify the significance of each individual risk factor, as each risk described below may materialize to a greater or lesser degree, or may have unforeseen consequences. The risk factors are not listed in any order of priority with regard to significance or likelihood of occurrence. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information regarding the Group, its business and industry in general as set out elsewhere in this Company Description, in the Issuer’s annual report and otherwise available to the investors in order to reach their own views prior to making any investment decision with respect to the Bonds. Prospective investors are recommended to seek independent advice concerning legal, accounting and tax issues relating to the specific circumstances of individual investors before deciding whether or not to invest in the Bonds. Investors should be aware that the Bonds are exposed to market conditions of a general nature. Accordingly, the market price of the Bonds may be influenced by, for example, economic factors that cannot be foreseen at the time of investment. Investors should be aware that the number of Bonds in circulation may fluctuate over the term of the Bonds and that the marketability of the Bonds in the secondary market may change over the term of the Bonds, thus limiting investors’ ability to sell the Bonds. In conducting its business activities, the Group assumes risks of a varying nature, any and all of which may affect the Group's performance and the value of the Bonds. Each of the risks set out below applies equally to the Issuer and the Group and the occurrence of any of the following risk factors may materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations or financial condition and consequently have a negative effect on the Issuer and its ability to meet its respective obligations under the Bond Agreement. Intra-group dependencies A significant part of the Issuer’s assets are comprised of its shareholdings in its subsidiaries. The Issuer has limited income and a significant part of the Issuer’s income derives from dividends distributed by its subsidiaries. The Issuer and its ability to pay interest, principal and other amounts under financial indebtedness are therefore dependent on the capacity of the Group to generate earnings and distribute these within the Group. 35
Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors - continued RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS Global Economy The Group is operating in primarily Denmark, Norway and Sweden and to a certain extent also worldwide, particularly with Scandinavian based global companies. The Group's operations and performance depend on economic conditions and the effects hereof on and within the Retail & Media, Logistics & Production, Public, Utility, Building & Construction and SaaS & Infrastructure sectors. The global economy and the global financial system continue to experience a period of significant turbulence and uncertainty following the severe dislocation of the financial markets and economic decline that began in 2008. The current market climate has until recently been one of continuing recessionary conditions and trends in many economies throughout the world and this has impacted the commercial sector and the general financial situation of enterprises. Uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone or reduce spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news or declines in income or asset values and other macroeconomic factors, which could affect consumer spending behavior and have a material negative effect on demand for the Group’s software, services and products. The Group's revenues and gross margins are dependent upon demand for the Group’s software, services and products and if this demand declines or the margins decline, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The economic environment, pricing pressure and decreased employee utilization rates could negatively impact the Group’s revenues and operating results. The Group is unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the current economic downturn and adverse global economic conditions. If the current uncertainty continues or economic conditions further deteriorate, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Furthermore, if the economic downturn continues or worsens, the Group may not be able to secure short-term and long-term credit or leasing facilities on favorable terms or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's liquidity. Industry and market risks Technology changes Rising new technologies such as cloud-based solutions and mobile technologies are gaining traction. Today, a considerable amount of the Group’s revenues are derived from cloud-based solutions, but other unknown technologies may arise and change the foundation for the software, services and products offered by the Group. Existing ERP-players such as the Group will have to adjust their software, services and product offerings with the emergence of new technologies, and if the Group does not manage to adjust their software, services and products accordingly, then it may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The Group’s financial condition is partly dependent on solutions based on large software platforms. These standardized solutions are offered in a highly competitive and specialized market. Approximately 60 per cent of the Group’s revenues are based on solutions and services related to Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics NAV, both of which are increasing their market share in the ERP SME segment. The Group is dependent on its ability to develop scalable best-in-class industry solutions that supplement these standardized solutions. Changes in the technical foundations of the standardized solutions and/or changes in customers’ preferred ERP platforms may force the Group to alter its products accordingly. The Group is forced to invest time and resources on educating employees and updating existing software, services and products to be competitive when updated versions of existing technologies and completely new technologies are launched. If the updated versions of existing technologies or the completely new technologies do not penetrate the market, these investments may prove futile. Furthermore the updated versions of existing technologies may contain errors and flaws, such as the 2012 version of Microsoft Dynamics AX, which are outside of the Group’s control. These errors and flaws may entail difficulties for the Group to price and budget project offerings for customers. The Group’s business will suffer if the Group fails to anticipate and develop new services and enhance existing services in order to keep pace with rapid changes in technology, in the industries and in the standardized solutions on which the Group focuses. This poses a risk that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operation or financial condition. 36
Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors - continued RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS Competition The Group may face significant competitive pressure from other participants in the market resulting in pricing pressures, lower sales and reduced margins, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. A significant part of the Group’s revenues are based upon customized add-on solutions to standard software supplied by platform providers, primarily Microsoft, and to a very limited degree SAP. In Scandinavia the platform providers do not deliver such customized solutions and the Group competes with smaller specialized companies e.g. CGI, Columbus IT, Fujistsu, KMD, Infor, iStone, NNIT, Netcompany Tieto and Visma. A part of the Group’s activities within standardized solutions is subject to competition from competitors based in countries with a lower level of expenses. As the global market place develops with among other things the development of cloud technology lower market entry barriers are expected. If the Group does not meet these challenges it may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Industry changes The balance between insourcing and outsourcing is constantly changing. An increased focus on insourcing will lead to falling sales especially within service agreements, while a decreased focus on insourcing will lead to rising sales. If major platform service providers such as Microsoft seek downstream expansion in the value chain and increase their attention towards developing their own industry solutions then it may pose a risk which unless mitigated by the Group may have material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Operational risks Innovation and software development In order for the Group to remain competitive within its markets, it is important that the Group is able to develop and launch new software, services and products, update existing products and services and expand new or redesigned products and services in a timely manner. Failure by the Group to do so might result in the Group falling behind its competitors. There are risks with launching a new product on to the market. The Group’s software, services and products are complex and may contain errors, faults, performance problems or defects which were undetected in testing. It is important that both the Group’s support and research and development teams become familiar with new software, services and products so as to be able to efficiently respond to any problems that may arise. Once a product is launched, it is necessary to ensure that quality standards are maintained to ensure continuing customer satisfaction and confidence. If problems were to occur which are not adequately managed it could damage the Group’s reputation and prove more difficult to market the product. If these risks were to arise they may adversely impact the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Compatibility In order for the Group to remain competitive within its market, compatibility with other significant components and general IT standards is a core value. Failure by the Group to be compatible with other components might result in the Group falling behind its competitors and in loss of customers. If the issue of compatibility is not adequately managed it could damage the Group’s reputation and prove more difficult to market the product. This may have adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. 37
Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors - continued RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS Project Management The management consultancy and programming part of the Group is a project driven organization that requires the Group to ensure that the offer documents have high standards as well as the subsequent management of the projects and resources is closely supervised. It is of vital importance that the projects are carried through with high quality in accordance with the agreed price and deadline. There are risks connected to marketing, sales, analysis and design, development, implementation and operation in the Group’s project planning. The Group has established well planned phases and has experience with calculating the risk of budgeting, resourcing and quality. As fixed prices become more common in the industry there exist risks that a project exceeds the anticipated number of hours based on a flawed estimation of the necessary resources needed. Furthermore there exists a risk when defining and describing the software, service and/or product to be delivered as there may occur misunderstandings between the Group and customers on the customers objectives which may result in re-deliverance or disputes. Connection with Microsoft The Group’s business and operations are among other things based on sales of standard Microsoft licenses and individually designed solutions based on Microsoft products but the Group has not entered into any agreements with Microsoft that are unusual or peculiar within the industry. However, if Microsoft’s market share decreases, it may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Customer Concentration The Group operates mainly in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and has a large customer base. Currently the Group has a diversified customer base with low dependency on single customers. Based on LTM Q3 2015, the 10 largest customers accounted for approx. 11 per cent of the Group’s revenues, while top 20 per cent accounted for approx. 17 per cent. The Group’s division Citizen Solutions is characterized by having relatively larger customers than the rest of the divisions. Dependency on one or more customers within Citizen Solutions may have material adverse effect on the division’s business and results of operations. Attack by IT viruses As an IT business, attacks by IT viruses are a threat, both to the Group and its customers. If the Group’s products or internal IT systems are contaminated with a virus this could temporarily prevent the Group’s customers from conducting their business or the Group from providing adequate support and services to its customers. Failure to maintain sound IT infrastructure and virus protection could therefore result in disruptions and if they were to continue for a considerable length of time they may adversely impact the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Fires and other natural catastrophic events The Group’s servers, systems and physical operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, human errors, break-ins and similar events. The Group may not have sufficient protection or recovery plans in certain circumstances and the Group’s business interruption insurance may be insufficient to compensate the Group for losses that may occur. As the Group rely heavily on the Group’s servers, systems, the physical operations and the Internet to conduct the Group’s business such disruptions could negatively impact the Group’s ability to run the business, which could have an adverse affect on the Group’s operating results. 38
Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors - continued RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS Acquisitions The business segments within which the Group is active are subject to continuous consolidation driven by the increase in cross-border trade and the search for economies of scale. As illustrated by the acquisition of Silkeborg Data, the strategy of the Group is to participate actively in this consolidation process. This strategy for long-term growth, improved productivity and profitability depends in part on the Group's ability to make acquisitions and to realize the expected benefits from its acquisitions. While the Group expects such acquisitions to enhance its value proposition to customers and improve its long-term profitability, there can be no assurance that the acquisitions will meet the Group's expectations within the established time frame or at all. Acquisitions involve a significant number of risks, including, but not limited to, risks arising from change of control provisions in contracts of any acquired company, local law factors, pending and threatening lawsuits and risks associated with restructuring operations. The integration of acquired companies may result in unforeseen operational difficulties and costs, and the Group may encounter unforeseen difficulty in retaining customers from and key personnel in acquired businesses. The Group may not be able to realize the expected benefits from a certain acquisition or the profitability of the acquired company may be lower than expected or even result in a loss. To successfully manage the integration of acquired companies or assets, the Group will need to maintain high standards of service and manage its employees effectively. The Group's successful growth will furthermore depend on its ability to manage its expanding operations, as well as the operations of the networks of its local partners, including its ability to establish and maintain an adequate IT infrastructure, to integrate new qualified personnel and any newly acquired businesses on a timely basis, and to maintain robust financial and management control and reporting systems and procedures. There is a risk that the Group will not succeed therein. If the Group is unable to expand its operational, financial, and management systems in a manner that supports the expected growth, or is unable to attract, motivate and manage a skilled workforce, the Group may not be able to continue to satisfy customer demands. If the Group expands the business too rapidly in anticipation of increased customer demand that does not materialize, the increase in operating expenses could exceed revenues growth and as a result reduce net income. Thus if the Group is unable to manage its growth, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The Group has built up considerable goodwill on its accounts due to acquisitions. Notwithstanding that the goodwill is impairment tested annually the rise of new “game changing” or transformational technology may entail that the goodwill must be immediately written off. Risks related to employees Attracting and retaining employees To a large extent the Group relies on human know-how. The employees of the Group have specific sector related know-how, which is valuable for the Group. The Group has not generally entered into non-competition or non-solicitation clauses. If employees with specific sector related know-how leave the Group, the Group might lose valuable knowledge and the employees might be hired by competitors or establish their own companies. The customers of the Group require deep sector knowledge including supply chain knowledge and understanding. To ensure the Group continues to offer high level advice and solutions, including further development of software, services and products, thereby ensuring profitability the Group depends largely upon highly skilled technology professionals and the Group’s ability to hire, attract, motivate, retain and train these personnel. Key employees might be attracted to opportunities in rising market, i.e. Norway. A failure to attract and retain competent key employees could have material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial conditions. 39
Click to edit Master text styles Risk Factors - continued RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS Invoicing rate The Group is highly dependent on the employees’ invoicing rate, which equals the billable hours. The invoicing rate depends on the composition of the staff as well as how the individual employee spends his time. In 2014, a change in the invoicing rate of 1.00 percentage point across the EG group will result in an increase in the gross profit and thus in EBITDA of DKK 15 million (taking into account fixed price contracts). A decline in the employees’ invoicing rate across the Group could have material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Increased wage pressure In certain industry sectors and countries there continues to be a significant wage pressure due to the demand for skilled employees. In a positive economic environment the wage pressure will rise as well as the employee turnover. This may cause heavier expenses for training of new employees. If the Group does not comply with the wage demands within these industry sectors and countries, the Group may lose valuable employees. The wage pressure and employee turnover may have an adverse effect on the Group’s profitability IPR and Legal Risks Contractual liability Typically a service agreement contains provisions requiring a high percentage of uptime as well as other service requirements. In connection with the contract negotiation phase the Group seeks to draft provisions that mitigate the size of potential liability claims and penalties. The Group has established internal controls to secure reasonable liability provisions when entering into agreements. Nevertheless, the Group is exposed to contractual liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect if such exposure materializes. Moreover, human errors in judgment may cause the Group to accept contractual liability provisions inadvertently or outside of internal control systems established to secure management approvals. Under some contracts or legal regimes the Group may have unlimited liability for losses caused by its own negligence, and such liability may not be covered by the Group’s insurance policies. Litigation and disputes The Group’s software, services and products relate to extensive, complex transactions often involving considerable sums. Customers or other parties may file claims for compensation for loss or damage alleged to have arisen due to reported faults or defects in the Group’s software, services, products and management or the Group may become party to judicial or administrative proceedings relating to the Group’s business, including, responsibility for software, services and products as well as contractual interpretation and intellectual property rights. Any such claims against the Group or the Group’s involvement in any judicial or administrative proceedings in respect of such claims could mean that the Group is forced to expend considerable sums and resources in defending such claims, whether or not they have legal merit, and this could adversely impact the Group’s business, results of operations or financial conditions. Insurance The Group believes that is has a normal, market standard insurance program. The insurance program is reviewed once a year. However, the insurance program contains provisions on own risk and not all types of losses and liabilities are covered. If a loss occurs that the insurance does not cover, it may have material adverse effect on the Group. 40
