Historical balance sheet development pre syndicated facility Traditionally Nobel Biocare did not have any significant (net) leverage Strong cash and cash flow position Financing needs (if any) were covered from original house banks in Sweden At the end of 2007, a convertible to build up a structural leverage had been executed Use of proceeds: repurchase of own shares Unfortunately, share price went down afterwards about 70% Remaining cash was used to build-up financial portfolio (bank bonds & shares) Unfortunately, this portfolio suffered tremendous write-offs during financial crisis In 2008, Nobel Biocare made first acquisition of bigger size Bridge financing through bilateral loans from house banks 11
Why syndicated facility? No obvious use of proceeds, however: Syndicated Facility to provide strategic flexibility for Nobel Biocare Group Several smaller add-on acquisitions possible Syndicated Facility to re-finance existing (drawn) bilateral debt Simplification of structure Working capital & capex back-up Syndicated Facility NOT to be drawn for increased shareholder returns Opposite: dividend to be reduced in 2009, to compensate recent acquisitions of Alpha Biotech and Biocad Syndicated Facility is considered as should-have in context with scheduled rating process Refinancing of outstanding convertible 12

Need for innovative pricing Pricing within worst market environment ever seen before! Refinancing costs of some of the syndicate banks were 10-20x higher than at beginning of project Within a normal pricing structure, some banks would not have been able to close transaction Unpredictable refinancing situation going forward Nobel Biocare had high interest to close the transaction as well, even if pricing was not too favourable Signal of stability strategically important Cleaning up own balance sheet So, a innovative pricing structure needed to be found Reflecting a compromise, which could be excused by the specific market conditions To allow closing the deal (also important for relationship banking) 20

Conclusions & lessons learned The deal was only possible because it was a relationship deal Banking insecurity about markets and their own refinancing ability or even existence Specific uncertainty situation of Nobel Biocare at that point of time The deal was only possible as it had been prepared before the peak of the crisis Momentum building with banks BEFORE official project launch In depth due diligence allowed The deal was perceived as innovative from Nobel Biocare side, but actually was also a break-through for the banks Demonstrating their ability to close a transaction even in the worst environment The transaction was a real win-win situation for both sides, based on professional preparation, strong relationship management and flexibility from both sides to find a pragmatic approach to make the transaction happen 25
