2010-05-07 14:15:45 CEST 2010-05-07 14:16:38 CEST BIRTINGARSKYLDAR UPPLÝSNINGAR Solteq Oyj - Company AnnouncementAcquiring of Company´s own sharesSOLTEQ PLC STOCK EXCHANGE BULLETIN ON MAY 7, 2010 The Board of Directors of Solteq Plc has decided to acquire the maximum amount of 600.000 company's own shares (including 282.836 own shares acquired earlier) on the grounds of the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting of March 26, 2010. According to the authorization, the shares can be acquired in order to develop the company's capital structure, finance and execute acquisitions or similar arrangements or used as part of the incentive scheme of the personnel or convey otherwise or be invalidated. Due to the low average trading liquidity of the company's shares, the Board further decided, as per Clause 3.2.5 of the Helsinki Stock Exchange Guidelines governing the acquisition of own shares, to deviate from the procedures referred to in Clauses 3.2.1-3.2.2 of the Guidelines as detailed here. The company aims to carry out the acquisition of its own shares within nine months of launching the acquisition, thus seeking to ensure trading liquidity during the buy-back programme. Acquisition of the company's own shares on these terms may lead to a situation where the volume being acquired exceeds half (50 %) of the average daily trading volume, but even in such cases, the deviation must not result in any exceptional market movements, nor may the volume being acquired on that particular trading day exceed 10 % of total volumes being acquired. The acquiring of the company's own shares will start during one week after the publication of this decision at the earliest and will end at the end of the next Annual General Meeting at the latest.
