2009 Agenda Remains Focused on Execution Improvement and Business Portfolio Management

1. Divestment of money losing monitor & analysis businesses in

Sweden, Norway and Denmark show significant impact on margins,

focus and transformation agenda

2. Impact of recession further confirms Cision’s transformation

agenda, and adds more urgency to its execution

3. With 20 % less employees than six months ago, Cision is a much

leaner company with many opportunities ahead of itself

4. Continue the successful roll-out of CisionPoint
