ALDATA SOLUTION OYJ - FINAL RESULT OF THE MANDATORY PUBLIC TENDER OFFER BY
SYMPHONY TECHNOLOGY GROUP

Symphony Technology II-A, L.P. (Symphony) has made a mandatory public tender
offer to purchase all issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Aldata
Solution Oyj (Aldata) that are not owned by Aldata or its subsidiaries or by
already owned Symphony (Tender Offer). The offer period of the Tender Offer has
commenced on 15 August 2011 at 9.30 a.m. (EET) and expired on 23 September 2011
at 4.00 p.m. (EET).

Symphony has announced that the final result of the Tender Offer is as follows:

According to the final result of the Tender Offer, the shares tendered in the
Tender Offer together with the Aldata shares otherwise acquired and owned by
Symphony represent approximately 89.1 per cent of all the shares and votes in
Aldata. In addition, 2,585,000 option rights have been tendered in the Tender
Offer or otherwise acquired by Symphony. By using said option rights for the
subscription of Aldata shares Symphony has a possibility to increase its holding
to approximately 89.5 per cent of all the shares and votes in Aldata.

As Symphony has received all necessary regulatory approvals for the completion
of the Tender Offer, and the condition to completion of the Tender Offer has
thus been satisfied, Symphony will complete the Tender Offer in accordance with
its terms and conditions. The offer consideration will be paid to the
shareholders and holders of option rights who have validly accepted the Tender
Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer on or
about 4 October 2011.

Symphony's intention is to acquire all the shares in Aldata and it may thus
purchase shares and option rights in Aldata also in public trading on NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd. or otherwise at a price not exceeding the offer price of EUR 0.61
per share and at a price not exceeding the offer price of option rights as
follows: EUR 0.01 for option rights 2008A, EUR 0.19 for option rights 2008B-F
and EUR 0.01 for option rights 2008G. Assuming that Symphony's ownership in
Aldata will exceed nine-tenths (9/10) of the shares and voting rights in Aldata,
Symphony intends to initiate compulsory redemption proceedings for the remaining
Aldata shares under the Finnish Companies Act. Symphony may also look into
consolidation possibilities within the industry for example through a merger.

Symphony's announcement on 28 September 2011 regarding the final result is
enclosed in full to this stock exchange release as Appendix 1.
