PRESS RELEASE

CARMEL, IN AND BATAVIA, OH—The Artios Users Group Intl. (AUGI) and the Assn. of Esko Users Group (AEG), the two user group associations devoted to Esko products, have merged into one organization. The announcement and subsequent member approvals were made during the 2006 annual meetings held in April. Although both are Esko user groups, AEG focuses on the company's graphics products while AUGI focuses on the structural products. In past years, the groups have shared the same venue for their meetings, but 2006 was the first time that the meetings were held concurrently.

The proposed timeline discussed by Board members is to officially found the new organization immediately after the 2007 meetings. Part of the business of the 2007 meetings will be the dissolution of the organizations, acceptance of the new organization's character, bylaws, and incorporation. In 2008, the new organization will hold its first official annual meeting as one group.
