Amanda Capital - Company Announcement

NOTICE AND REQUEST IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 3 A, SECTION 3 A OF THE OLD COMPANIES ACT


NOTICE AND REQUEST IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 3 A, SECTION 3 A OF THE OLD       
COMPANIES ACT (29.9.1978/734)                                                   


Amanda Capital Plc's general meeting has on 15 March 2005 resolved to sell on   
behalf of their shareholders those shares in Amanda Capital Plc, which are      
deposited on the joint account set up by the company. The general meeting       
authorised the Board of Directors to take necessary measures required by the    
resolution in order to execute such sale. The resolution of the general meeting 
to sell the shares deposited on the joint account shall, in accordance with the 
old Companies Act (29.9.1978/734), be notified to the owners of such shares and 
to any pledgees and other assignees.                                            

The shares in Amanda Capital Plc have been registered with the book-entry system
since 1 November 2000, when the company was established as a result of the      
division of a company named Finvest Oyj. The shares in Finvest Oyj were         
transferred to the book-entry system on 27 November 1992. In connection with the
transfer of the shares into the book-entry system the shareholders were required
to register their ownership of the shares with the book-entry system. A joint   
account was opened for such shares, whose ownership was not registered with the 
book-entry system as required. The company was recorded as the holder of the    
joint account on behalf of the shareholders whose shares were not registered. At
this moment (31 December 2007) there are 6,752 shares of the company on the     
joint account representing approximately 0.03 per cent of all shares.           

Those shareholders of Amanda Capital Plc or other assignees, which have not     
demanded the registration of their ownership or other rights with the book-entry
system, are requested to register their rights without undue delay by delivering
their share certificate and other possible documents of title to a relevant     
account operator.                                                               

The shareholders or other assignees shall demand the registration of their      
shares or other rights with the book-entry system as required by law on 18      
February 2009, at the latest, under the consequence that the rights to these    
shares will otherwise be deemed forfeited.                                      

Shares that have not been transferred into the book-entry system by 18 February 
2009 will be sold on behalf and for the benefit of their owners. The proceeds of
such sale, after deducting any costs incurred in connection with the sale and   
notification thereof, will be deposited for the benefit of the owners with the  
Southern Finland's County Administrative Board (in Finnish: Etelä-Suomen        
lääninhallitus). After the sale of the shares the shareholders have the right to
receive an amount from the deposited funds equalling their proportion of the    
shares against the delivery of relevant share certificates and other possible   
documents of title.                                                             

AMANDA CAPITAL PLC
