Talkpool’s board met for the last time of the year on Friday the 24th of October. Following the large oversubscribed share issue in October, Talkpool’s board decided to issue 215,178 additional shares that takes the total amount of shares to 4,930,784 after this last small share issue. This directed share issue was made primarily to take a majority shareholding in Talkpool AB, which will gain importance in the next phase of Talkpool’s development. Furthermore, the debt was reduced with approximately 5 million SEK.
The board concluded that Talkpool has developed according to the best-case scenario during 2017. The three acquisitions of Camouflage in the Netherlands, Technetix in Belgium and LCC in Pakistan substantially improves Talkpool’s standing in network services. All acquisitions have so far performed better than expected. Organic growth with network operators in the Caribbean and Germany has been gaining momentum in the second half of 2017. After the break-through in network services in 2017, Talkpool will now shift focus towards providing solutions for Internet of Things both in terms of an organic break-through and M&A activities. The company will in this process leverage its positioning in network services in many markets to develop and distribute smart solutions that are connected to the internet.
Talkpool’s board also decided on the 2018 dates and agenda for reporting and meetings. These dates will be communicated within short. Talkpool will for the first time invite its shareholders to an annual information meeting in Sweden on the 1st of June 2018. Revenues will be split in IoT and network services from the first quarter report. The company is looking forward to digesting the growth and fostering innovation after a challenging year with lots of administrational activities related to acquisitions, share issues and financing activities. Talkpool’s key country managers will meet in December this year for the first time in 7 years to build the basis for a smarter company.

We spend 92% of our time indoors.
We train, work, shop and enjoy ourselves mainly in biotopes created by ourselves. Health, productivity and quality of life are affected by the air in our environments. Energy saving and new materials have solved problems but created new ones. Are we watching the air we breathe? Poor circulation can mean that the air from every 5th breath you breathe comes from your neighbor.
TalkPool, prominent within IoT and communications solutions, and Senseair, world-leading developer and gas sensor manufacturers, have initiated a collaboration that will lead to safer indoor environments.
“We see that companies working today with security or quality services around indoor environments benefit from connected sensors, TalkPool connects things, sensors are one of them.” Says Stefan Lindgren CTO on TalkPool.
“The collaboration goes perfectly with our purpose,” make sense of air “, we are not pleased to just produce the best sensors, measurements will contribute to insight and action in our environment,” says Peter Lageson, CEO of Senseair.
As more and more people begin to understand how air quality affects our productivity and health, the data requirements are increasing. If students in a school can not concentrate, it may be due to high carbon content, if this press release feels irrelevant, maybe it’s time to open the window.

As one of eight hubs in Sweden, the project “Luft och Vatten med Internet of Things” is awarded (LoV-IoT) 12 million from Vinnova to take the development of digital environmental monitoring further. With IoT and sensors, the project partners have developed a more efficient system for the gathering of information about air and water quality in cities. The newly developed wireless sensors utilize TalkPool’s communication solution.
The long-term goal is to use more efficient tools to generate better information for decision-making about actions against pollution and thus change people’s behavior and contribute to better health for citizens all over the world.
“It is very positive that we get the opportunity to continue the development process that we have started. The project will play a key role in the City of Gothenburg’s development and future societal investment. The investment fits well into the municipality’s digitalization work with focus on air and water quality,” says Hung Nguyen, project manager LoV-IoT in Gothenburg City.
TalkPool leads the sub-project with water monitoring, where you can already monitor when wastewater is dispersed into the water system and unleashed in nature, using the TalkPool sensors developed in the first step of the project.
“Environmental monitoring is an exciting and important application of the new communications technology, which enables us to measure, through low-cost, battery-powered sensors, locations where we have not previously had coverage, such as downstream wells,” says Stefan Lindgren, Project Manager LoV-Iot and CTO on TalkPool.
Project facts: With the support of Vinnova, Formas, and the Swedish Energy Agency, the project is financed by IoT Sweden, one of the government’s strategic innovation programs
Applied amount from VINNOVA: SEK 12,000,000

TalkPool almost doubles revenues through the acquisition of a leading telecom network services hub in the Middle East
Today, TalkPool AG (“TalkPool”) announces the purchase of 100% of the shares in LCC Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd (“LCC PAK”). LCC PAK was founded in 2008 and has approximately 1,000 employees in Pakistan, which becomes TalkPool’s largest market.
LCC PAK is performing similar kind of network services as TalkPool. LCC PAK has a history of stable financial performance, and has revenues of approximately EUR 10 million. TalkPool has good understanding of LCC PAK as its board member. Stan Schreuder worked for Lightbridge Communications Corporation (LCC) during the period 2002 until 2015.
LCC PAK has also developed an IoT-based solution for the management of telecom sites. LCC PAK’s site solution manages the power from different sources such as solar panels, batteries, utility and generators in an efficient manner. Furthermore, the solution handles site access and surveillance. TalkPool has experience from implementation of sustainable energy site solutions and of IoT-integration from several markets. The acquisition of LCC PAK creates an opportunity for TalkPool to offer price-efficient telecom site services with IoT-functionality.
The acquisition fits well with TalkPool’s strategy to grow through acquisitions of profitable network services companies that are well positioned to distribute, integrate and support IoT-solutions. TalkPool has previously worked in many countries in the Middle East including Pakistan with good results, and this acquisition marks a return to this region.
Stan Schreuder, who managed LCC in Europe and Middle East during several years, says that “the LCC hub in Pakistan is a very well-functioning unit in a fast-growing economy, with skilled staff, good client relations and strong finances with substantial assets, including Intellectual Property. I’m looking forward to work together with the team in Pakistan again”. Stan has also committed to participate in the financing of the acquisition.
The transaction in detail
The transaction means that 100% of the shares in LCC PAK are being acquired for a total consideration of USD 5.2 million of which USD 4.0 million will be paid at closing. The remaining USD 1.2 million will be made in two instalments in 2018 and 2019 and will be financed through TalkPool’s future cash flow.
The payment in connection with the closing will be financed through a rights issue amounting to 32.9 million SEK and a convertible loan amounting to 500,000 CHF. The rights issue is underwritten to 81 percent through subscription undertakings corresponding to SEK 17.8 million and guarantee agreements corresponding to SEK 9.0 million.
LCC PAK will be consolidated into TalkPool’s financial reporting. Closing is expected to take place latest by 31st October, 2017 although we expect the closing to happen sooner. The closing is subject to regulatory approvals.
Advisors
G&W Fondkommission is financial advisors and Setterwalls Advokatbyrå AB is legal counsel to TalkPool in connection with the acquisition. Alpen Capital (ME) Limited acted as financial advisors for LCC PAK.

Talkpool AB and Avnet Silica has entered a partner agreement for the distribution of Talkpool LoRaTM sensor devices used in evolving Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. This is an agreement to whereby Avnet Silica will offer Talkpool sensors on all Avnet Silica’s markets where LoRaWANTM is present. The two companies are additionally cooperating in enabling IoT solutions on the booming IoT Swedish market.
The Talkpool IoT team works with advanced technologies and offers IoT solutions, IoT networks and IoT products for Low Power Wide Area Technologies (LPWA) using LoRaTM. Avnet Silica adds on as a global and strong partner with leadership distribution of electronic components, products and services, that enables further reach of the Talkpool IoT product offering.
“The low power wide area network radio technology, that is optimized for very long range and years of battery powered devices, allows for millions of devices to be connected that previously wasn’t economically viable or even possible. Some example are, moisture detection in buildings, temperature and humidity readings in e.g. boats and mobile homes, CO2 levels in every street corner and many many more use cases. A very good ongoing example is Talkpool’s involvement in a consortium led by the City of Gothenburg within the strategic innovation program for environmental supervision of air and water in Gothenburg” , says Robert Spertina, Head of IoT.
“The Nordics continue to be at the global forefront of the IoT. The average number of connected things per person in the region is expected to be four times as many as in the rest of the world by 2021. We believe the bulk of the connections will not be consumer driven but industrial, smart city or agricultural applications. We are pleased to be able to offer turnkey sensor devices from Talkpool to our expanding customer base focusing on IoT “, says Kenneth Nilsson, Sales Manager at Avnet Silica Sweden.

Talkpool has during late 2016 and the beginning of 2017 celebrated break-throughs with several European network operators such as Deutsche Telekom, Belgacom, Vodafone and Orange – and order volumes have rapidly grown during the first four months of 2017. This client segment, which represented no revenues a year ago, is now TalkPool’s fastest growing customer group and biggest opportunity.
“TalkPool’s order intake from clients in Europe increased in the second half of 2016 and has continued to accelerate during the first four months of 2017 while order levels from clients in Africa and the Americas have remained stable. Europe generated almost a third of TalkPool’s overall orders in the first four months of 2017”, comments Erik Strömstedt CEO of Talkpool.
During the period January to April 2017, approximately 26% of Talkpool revenues relates to the African market and originates from many countries, whereas the 42% of the total revenues relates to the Americas and stems from only two markets.
Network services order volumes from Digicel in the Carribbean have remained unchanged during many years but its share has reduced to 37%, down from over 50% a year ago, as business from other clients is growing. Orders from China-based equipment vendor Huawei continue to increase while the share of orders from Swedish Ericsson, with whom TalkPool has a close relation, is continuing to decline.
TalkPool continues to get a wide range of IoT orders but the order volumes are still modest.
This information is information that TalkPool is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the Securities Markets Act. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 08.30 CET on 22 May, 2017.

Eight months after its Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq First North, TalkPool’s Board of Directors hereby summarizes and clarifies the long term group strategy in this Grand Master Plan
Eight months after its Initial Public Offering on Nasdaq First North, TalkPool’s Board of Directors hereby summarizes and clarifies the long term group strategy in this Grand Master Plan:
It took TalkPool 16 years to build a market presence with companies in 15 countries (in Europe, Africa and America) that assist large clients to adopt new communication technology. It will take less than half that time for TalkPool to attain global reach with approximately 30 companies. A handful hubs will be supporting the surrounding markets and the companies will develop local niche competences that are cross-sold to other TalkPool markets. We invite local partners to take ownership in TalkPool’s companies to foster entrepreneurship and risk sharing. This will result in increasing profit margins and growth. Headquarter costs will be kept low and focus will be on our most profitable operations, in particular on understanding and adapting to customer/industry needs and the eco-systems serving them.
The money generated from TalkPool’s market companies are used to develop infrastructure solutions and skills for the information society, also called “Internet of Things”. The solutions include apps (for smartphone, tablets and computers), smart devices (embedded with electronics, software & sensors) and network connectivity. Each “thing” is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system and is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. The interconnection of these embedded devices, is expected to impact nearly all industries, or so called verticals, including smart cities, smart homes, transport and health. We will initially develop and market many different vertical solutions ranging from environment control to ski-school tracker and work-place management but we will eventually narrow in on a few vertical solutions, in which we become industry leaders.
In addition to developing own vertical IoT solutions, TalkPool will integrate solutions made by other companies. We will come up with solutions to client problems, from design to integration of the different IoT building blocks. Many of the building blocks are under development, so we will need to be innovative and embrace new technologies when developing architecture for the emerging internet solutions. In addition to connecting client products to the internet, we will provide financed end-to-end packages that allows our clients to charge for their service rather than selling the product.
In short we will
1. Expand our existing network services activities in profitable niches
2. Use the cash to develop own solutions for the Internet of Things
3. Assist our clients to convert from selling a product to selling a service
We will be profitable in spite of making investments in IoT and we will avoid building up costly organizational structures and outperform markets as a listed company. We believe in thinking differently and challenging the status quo. We are building an organization that will help many clients gain total control of their business.
Magnus Sparrholm, TalkPool board in January 2017.
