On 5 September 2008, Lännen Tehtaat issued a stock exchange release announcing  
that Suomen Sokeri Oy, a subsidiary of Lännen Tehtaat plc's associated company  
Sucros Ltd, has agreed to sell its beta-amylase enzyme business to Genencor     
International Oy. The parties have now postponed the date on which the

fourth quarter.
