Okmetic Oyj - Company Announcement

Okmetic Oyj acquires the entire share capital of Okmetic Management Oy from group's top management


OKMETIC OYJ        STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE       17 JANUARY 2014   9.00 A.M.

Okmetic Oyj acquires the entire share capital of Okmetic Management Oy from
group's top management

On 1 February 2010, President of Okmetic Kai Seikku and Deputy to the President
Mikko Montonen founded a limited company named Okmetic Management Oy, which
acquired 400,000 Okmetic shares in a directed share issue. The acquisition was
financed by capital investments of 400,000 euro in total in the new company by
Seikku and Montonen, and by an 800,000 euro loan granted by Okmetic Oyj. The
arrangement was announced with a stock exchange release on 25 January 2010. The
shareholders of Okmetic Management Oy are members of the Executive Management
Group of Okmetic Oyj.

In December 2012, the Board of Directors of Okmetic Oyj decided to extend the
ownership arrangement, originally planned approximately for a three-year period,
by a maximum of one year, meaning that the loan would be repaid on 31 March
2014 at the latest.
The Board has now decided that the repayment will be made with an arrangement in
which Okmetic Oyj acquires the entire share capital of Okmetic Management Oy.
Also 400,000 shares of Okmetic Oyj will be transferred to the group via Okmetic
Management Oy, as well as a loan receivable of Okmetic Oyj of 498,800 euro from
Okmetic Management Oy. There are no shareholders of Okmetic Management Oy in the
Board of Directors of Okmetic Oyj.

The value of the arrangement for the part of shares owned by Okmetic Management
Oy is determined using the average trading price weighted by trading volume of
the company's share in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy on 16 January 2014, 4.9969 euro.

The decision to repurchase company's own shares is based on existing
authorisation of the Board of Directors given by the Annual General Meeting on
10 April 2013.

Prior to the acquisition, Okmetic Oyj had 17,287,500 issued shares, of which
194,123 shares were held by the company. Following the acquisition the number of
issued shares will remain unchanged. After the acquisition and the directed
share issue announced in a separate stock exchange release from today, the
company will hold directly 44,123 own shares and indirectly via Okmetic
Management Oy 400,000 own shares.
