Inion Oy                                    
                           (“Inion” or the “Company”)                           

                               Final Day Trading                                

Tampere, Finland and Guildford, UK. 23 June 2009, Inion (LSE: IIN.L), a company 
focused on the development and commercialisation of novel biodegradable medical 
implants, announces that today is the last day its Ordinary Shares will be      
listed on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and admitted to trading 
on the London Stock Exchange's market for listed securities. Inion Ordinary     
Shares will be cancelled from admission to the Official List effective from 8.00
am on 24 June 2009.                                                             

The Directors believe that following the Delisting, the Company will be better  
placed as an unlisted company either (i) to secure potential investors and/or   
buyers of certain assets in order to raise the necessary funds to execute the   
business plan, focused on the spinal implant range, or (ii) failing such        
additional investment/disposals, to facilitate a liquidation of the Company.    

Chris Lee, Inion's CEO, said: “2009 has been difficult for Inion given the      
operational progress the Company made during 2008, particularly in the US. We   
are pleased with the way discussions are progressing across a range of strategic
options, which, if they come to fruition, will allow us to refocus on           
operational activities to build the business. We still face many challenges, but
the Directors believe that the increased flexibility of being unlisted positions
Inion better to progress these discussions to a satisfactory conclusion for our 
shareholders.”
