CapMan Plc Stock Exchange Release 22 May 2008 at 10.40 a.m.

CapMan funds Finnventure Fund V and Finnmezzanine Fund II B and D as
well as Finnmezzanine Fund III A, B and C have announced the
realisation of their investment in Finnish staffing agency StaffPoint
Oy. The exit will have an impact of approx. EUR 4 million on CapMan
Plc's result for 2008 as a result of carried interest income received
from Finnventure Fund V and Finnmezzanine II B.

The funds managed by CapMan will sell their 66 per cent stake in
StaffPoint to Oy G.W.Sohlberg Ab, Varma and the company's management.
The funds invested in StaffPoint in 2002 and the investment has been
successful for investors in Finnventure Fund V and the mezzanine
funds.

StaffPoint is Finland's leading temporary personnel agency with some
18,000 workers on their books. The company's turnover was EUR 87
million in 2007."StaffPoint has developed very well in the last few years and the
company's turnover has grown by almost one-fifth annually. I believe
that the strategic position we have built for the company together
with the management during CapMan's investment period and the growth
forecasts for the temporary staffing industry create good
prerequisites for StaffPoint's business also in future," states Tuomo
Raasio, Head of CapMan Buyout and Senior Partner.

SUMMA Corporate Finance acted as financial adviser to CapMan and
other sellers.
