Stockholm, Sweden - CLX Communications AB (publ) - XSTO: CLX

The Board of CLX Communications AB (publ) today announces a change to the company's financial leverage policy. The new policy is as follows:

• CLX's target is that net debt over time shall be below 2.5 times adjusted EBITDA (measured on a rolling twelve month basis).

The phrase 'over time' means that leverage may temporarily exceed the targeted level in the near term following an acquisition. Before today's announcement, the policy was that net debt over time should be below two times adjusted EBITDA (measured on rolling twelve months).

CLX Communications' other financial targets remain unchanged:

• Growth in adjusted EBITDA per share shall be 20 per cent per year.

• Dividend policy: The Board continues to see good growth opportunities through acquisitions over the next few years, and therefore proposes that the company's earnings primarily are reinvested.

Oscar Werner, President and CEO, comments on the revised policy: "CLX Communications has made a number of successful acquisitions that have increased our profitability and strengthened our product offering. We see opportunities to make further value-accretive acquisitions also in the future, and our revised leverage policy makes us better placed to execute on our M&A strategy".
