(Lysaker, 18. December 2008): The facility management company NEAS
has signed an agreement with Pitney Bowes Norge AS to take over
distribution, warehousing and assembly of Pitney Bowes' office and
incidental furniture in Hordaland, including Bergen. The agreement is
worth around NOK 10 million over two years.

In March 2007, NEAS entered into an agreement with Pitney Bowes in
Oslo, Akershus and Buskerud, with an option to extend to among other
places Hordaland. The agreement strengthens NEAS' growing activity in
Bergen.

"The agreement confirms that Pitney Bowes is very satisfied with the
value of the services that we deliver, as well as proving that the
outsourcing trend that we have seen for some time is still intact.
Pitney Bowes has offices in Oslo, Gjøvik, Tynset, Hamar and Bergen,
as well as a nationwide distributor network. Their business footprint
therefore corresponds very well with NEAS's own geographical
presence; a fact which we believe can provide further business
opportunities, says CEO of NEAS, Tor Rønhovde."

The duration of the agreement is two years, starting in January 2009.
