The Market Court has today ordered Iittala Group Oy Ab, a Fiskars subsidiary,
to pay a total of EUR 3 million in competition infringement fines for resale
price maintenance between 2005 and 2007. The fine will be recognized as a
non-recurring expense in the fourth quarter 2011 results. No provision has been
booked for the fine. 

The amount proposed by the Finnish Competition Authority was EUR 4 million.
Both Iittala Group and the Finnish Competition Authority are entitled to appeal
the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court. Iittala Group will examine
the decision thoroughly and thereafter decide on a possible appeal. 

The alleged violation occurred in practice before Fiskars acquired the Iittala
Group on 31 August 2007. The investigation by the Competition Authority started
in 2006.
