Dear Serialst members,

As a brief comment to the article that appeared in the Dutch press I would
like to inform you that Swets is operationally sound and that management
is confident that the issues will be resolved at the shareholders meeting
this Friday.

We are unable to comment further until after this meeting and we will
issue a press release at that point.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Arjen Oudheusden
Chief Executive Officer
