HUHTAMÄKI OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 11.2.2011 AT 09:00

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of Huhtamäki Oyj will be held
on Wednesday April 20, 2011 at 13.00 in the Finlandia Hall, Congress Wing,
Mannerheimintie 13 e, Helsinki.


Proposal to Distribute Retained Earnings

The Board of Directors proposes, based on the balance sheet to be adopted for
the financial period ended on December 31, 2010, a dividend of EUR 0.44 per
share to be paid. The dividend is proposed to be paid on May 4, 2011 to a
shareholder who on the record date April 27, 2011 is registered as a shareholder
in the Company's shareholders' register.

No significant changes have taken place in the Company's financial position
since the end of the financial year. The Company's liquidity position is good
and the proposed distribution does not, in the view of the Board of Directors,
risk the Company's ability to fulfill its obligations.


Proposal for Election and Remuneration of Auditor

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors proposes that Authorized Public
Accountant firm Ernst & Young Oy shall be elected as Auditor for the financial
year January 1 - December 31, 2011. Ernst & Young Oy has announced Mr. Harri
Pärssinen, APA, to be the Auditor with principal responsibility.

The Audit Committee proposes that the Auditor's remuneration shall be paid
against an approved invoice.
