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
already owned by Symphony (Tender Offer). The cash consideration offered for
Aldata shares is EUR 0.61 per share. 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).

The Financial Supervisory Authority has on 12 August 2011 approved the tender
offer document relating to the Tender Offer published on 26 July 2011. The Board
of Directors of Aldata issued on 23 August 2011 the statement referred to in
Chapter 6 Section 6 of the Finnish Securities Market Act regarding the Tender
Offer.

On 9 September 2011 which was the original expiration date of the Tender Offer
Symphony announced the extension of the offer period until 23 September 2011.
The release was made on 16 September 2011 that Symphony had received all the
necessary competition clearances for the acquisition of Aldata pursuant to the
Tender Offer.

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

According to the preliminary 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 88.7 per cent of all the shares and votes in
Aldata. In addition, 1,912,500 option rights have been tendered in the Tender
Offer. By using said option rights for the subscription of Aldata shares
Symphony has a possibility to increase its holding to approximately 89.0 per
cent of all the shares and votes in Aldata.

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
