eQ CORPORATION APPLIES FOR DELISTING
(Translation from Finnish language original)

Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank hf. (“Straumur”) currently holds over 97
percent of all the shares in eQ Corporation (“eQ”). Straumur has initiated
minority redemption proceedings in accordance with Chapter 18 of the Companies
Act to acquire the minority shares in eQ. The Arbitral Tribunal appointed by
the Redemption Committee of the Central Chamber of Commerce has, thus far, not
confirmed the schedule in the matter. Provided that the Arbitral Tribunal
confirms that Straumur's redemption right is clear, Straumur is entitled to
gain title to all the shares in eQ by placing a security approved by the
Arbitral Tribunal for the payment of the redemption price. 

The Board of Directors of eQ has resolved to apply for the termination of
trading with the eQ shares and for the delisting of the shares from the
official list of OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki Oy (“OMX Helsinki”). An
application for delisting has been filed with OMX Helsinki today. In the
application eQ requests that the eQ shares be delisted from the official list
of OMX Helsinki as soon as possible after Straumur having gained title to all
the shares in eQ.
