March 27, 2009 at 11.30 am (CET+1)

Reflecting the new strategy announced in June 2008, also Kemira's
business structure changed. Kemira began financial reporting
according to the new structure from the beginning of 2009. The new
reporting segments are Paper, Water, Oil & Mining, Tikkurila and
Other. Segment comparatives for 2008 have been adjusted to match the
new breakdown as shown in the table below. The figures are unaudited.

In the full year financial statements the 2008 figures were reported
according to the earlier segment structure. The new segment structure
will be implemented in the January-March interim report to be
published on 6 May 2009.

The segment Other includes the ChemSolutions business, i.e. organic
acids and salts, as well as corporate expenses not charged to the
segments (some research and development costs, the costs of the CEO
office).
