- Lennart Simonsen was appointed CapMan Plc's CEO on 30 March 2010 and he will
take up the position on 1 June 2010. The current CEO, Heikki Westerlund, was
elected to the company's Board of Directors and as new Chairman of the Board.
- The Group's overall result in the first quarter of 2010 was good and the
overall result for 2010 is expected to exceed the previous year's result.



CEO Heikki Westerlund comments on events during the review period and future
prospects:"The positive trend that started in our operations during the second half of
2009 has continued, and we achieved a good result level during the first quarter
of 2010. Management fees from the Management Company business were higher
compared to the same quarter in 2009 and we received carried interest income
after a long period of zero revenues from this area. Positive developments in
the fair value of our investments strengthened during the quarter, and as a
result also our Fund Investment business was profitable.

The development of our portfolio companies during the first quarter was
generally good. In some sectors, however, both turnover and volumes are
significantly lower than prior to the recession, and the performance of
portfolio companies in these industries continues to be only adequate. In the
real estate business, customer and sales volumes at the shopping centres in our
portfolio developed positively.

The Nordic buyout and M&A market is recovering as we expected, but is still
characterised by a clear element of caution. The volume of deal flow has clearly
increased across all our investment areas, and our funds have a number of
portfolio companies that have entered into the exit process.

In terms of performance during the rest of the year the decisive factor will be
whether the relatively positive current market sentiment will continue or
whether this development will be disturbed by, for example, nervousness in
eurozone countries."

Business operations

CapMan is an alternative asset manager, which also makes investments in its own
funds. The guiding principle for the investment activities of the funds managed
by the Group is to work actively and directly towards increasing the value of
investments.

The Group has two operating segments: the Management Company business and the
Fund Investment business. The Management Company business is subdivided into two
business areas: CapMan Private Equity, which manages funds that invest in
portfolio companies, and CapMan Real Estate, which manages funds that invest in
real estate and provides real estate consulting. Income from the Management
Company business is derived from management fees paid by funds, carried interest
received from funds, and income generated by real estate consulting.

The Fund Investment business comprises fund investments made from CapMan Plc's
balance sheet and investments in Maneq funds. Income from the Fund Investment
business is derived from realised returns on fund investments and changes in the
fair value of investments.

There may be considerable quarterly fluctuation in carried interest and the fair
value of fund investments. As a result, the Group's financial performance should
be analysed over a longer time span than the quarterly cycle.

Group turnover and result in January-March 2010

The Group's turnover in January-March 2010, at MEUR 11.4, was higher than during
the first quarter of 2009 (MEUR 8.1). Operating expenses remained at the same
level as in the comparison period and totalled MEUR 8.3 (MEUR 8.4).

The Group's operating profit totalled MEUR 4.3 (MEUR -4.7). Financial income and
expenses amounted to MEUR
-0.1 (MEUR -0.5) and CapMan's share of the result of its associated companies
was MEUR 0.8 (MEUR 0.6). Profit before taxes was MEUR 5.0 (MEUR -4.6) and profit
after taxes was MEUR 3.5 (MEUR -3.7).

Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was MEUR 3.4 (MEUR
-3.8). Earnings per share were 3.3 cents (-5.5 cents).

A quarterly breakdown of turnover and profit, together with turnover, operating
profit/loss, and profit/loss by segment for the review period, can be found in
the tables section of this report.

Management Company business

Turnover generated by the Management Company business in January-March 2010
totalled MEUR 11.4 (MEUR 8.1). Management fees increased from the comparable
period last year and amounted to MEUR 8.4 (MEUR 7.4). This increase was
attributable to management fees paid by the CapMan Buyout IX fund that began to
accrue in June 2009.

Income from real estate consulting fell compared to the first quarter last year
and totalled MEUR 0.4 (MEUR 0.6). The aggregate total of management fees and
income from real estate consulting was MEUR 8.8 (MEUR 8.0).

Carried interest income generated during the quarter totalled MEUR 2.4 (MEUR
0.0), and came from the Finnventure V fund following its exit from the financial
administration services company Pretax and the sale of the shares in On2
Technologies that the fund received when exiting Hantro Products Oy in 2007.

The Management Company business recorded an operating profit of MEUR 3.2 (MEUR
-0.2) and a profit of MEUR 2.7 (MEUR 0.0).

The status of funds managed by CapMan is presented in more detail in Appendix 1.

Fund Investment business

Fair value changes related to fund investments were MEUR 1.1 (MEUR -4.3), and
represent a 1.9% increase in value. This was mainly attributable to the
continuing stable result prospects of portfolio companies for 2010 and the
positive impact of currency exchange developments in respect of some portfolio
companies. The aggregate fair value of fund investments as of 31 March 2010 was
MEUR 59.4 (MEUR 51.0 as of 31 March 2009).

Operating profit for the Fund Investment business was MEUR 1.1 (MEUR -4.4) and
the profit for the period was MEUR 0.8 (MEUR -3.7).

CapMan made new investments in its funds totalling MEUR 1.4 (MEUR 2.5) during
the quarter. Investments were made in funds including CapMan Russia, CapMan
Public Market, and CapMan Life Science IV. CapMan did not give any new
commitments to its funds during the quarter.

The amount of remaining commitments was significantly lower compared to the same
period last year as a result of investments made and the sales of commitments
announced in summer 2009, and totalled MEUR 41.2 (MEUR 75.3) as of 31 March
2010. The aggregate fair value of existing investments and remaining commitments
as of 31 March 2010 was MEUR 100.5 (MEUR 126.3). CapMan's objective is to invest
1-5% of the original capital in the funds that it manages, depending on the size
of the funds, fund demand, and CapMan's own investment capacity.

Investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance with
the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines
(IPEVG), while real estate assets are valued in accordance with the value
appraisals of external experts, as detailed in Appendix 1. Fair value changes
have no impact on the Group's cash flows.


Investments at fair value and remaining investment capacity by investment area
are presented in the tables section.

Balance sheet and financial position as of 31 March 2010

CapMan's balance sheet total increased to MEUR 151.1 during the review period
(MEUR 144.5 as of 31 March 2009). Non-current assets were higher and amounted to
MEUR 112.5 (MEUR 99.6 as of 31 March 2009). No changes during the review period
took place in goodwill, which stood at MEUR 10.2 as of 31 March 2010 (MEUR 11.0
as of 31 March 2009).

Fund investments booked at fair value rose to MEUR 59.4 (MEUR 51.0). Long-term
receivables amounted to MEUR 24.8 (MEUR 24.6), of which MEUR 23.8 (MEUR 21.7)
were loan receivables from Maneq funds. In addition to CapMan Plc, CapMan
personnel are investors in Maneq funds. The expected returns from CapMan's Maneq
investments are broadly in line with the return expectations for CapMan's other
investments in its own funds, and these funds pay market rate interest on loans
they receive from CapMan Plc.

Current assets amounted to MEUR 38.6 (MEUR 44.8). Liquid assets (cash in hand
and at banks, plus other financial assets at fair value through profit and loss)
amounted to MEUR 30.2 (MEUR 34.6).

The size of CapMan Plc's hybrid bond remained unchanged at MEUR 29.0. Due to the
dividends paid, the interest on the bond for the financial year is deducted from
equity according to the loan terms and it is payable semi-annually. Following
repayments, CapMan Plc had a bank financing package of MEUR 53.8 (MEUR 60)
available as of 31 March 2010, of which MEUR 43.8 (MEUR 46.0) was utilised.
There were no significant changes in the amount of interest-bearing liabilities
during the quarter. Trade and other payables totalled MEUR 32.7 (MEUR 21.9).
Interest on the hybrid loan for this year is included in current liabilities.
The Group's interest-bearing net debts amounted to MEUR 13.5 (MEUR 11.4).

The Group's cash flow before financing was MEUR 12.2 (MEUR 1.3). Income from
management fees received from funds is paid semi-annually, in January and July,
and is shown under working capital in the cash flow statement. Cash flow from
investments is primarily related to fund investments.


Key figures as of 31 March 2010

CapMan's equity ratio as of 31 March 2010 was 52.6% (52.4% as of 31 March
2009). Return on equity was 18.1%
(-21.0%) and return on investment was 18.0% (-12.0%). The target level for the
company's equity ratio is at least 50% and for return on equity at least 25%.

* In line with IFRS standards, the MEUR 29.0 hybrid bond has been included in
equity, also when calculating equity per share. The interest on the hybrid bond
(net of tax) for the review period has been included when calculating earnings
per share.

** CapMan has changed the reporting practise for Return on equity and Return on
investment which have been annualised (previously reported for the review
period).




Fundraising and capital under management as of 31 March 2010

Capital under management refers to the remaining investment capacity of funds
and capital already invested at acquisition cost. CapMan's target is to increase
its capital under management by an average of 15% a year.

Fundraising continued to be challenging during the first quarter of 2010.

Capital was raised during the quarter for the CapMan Buyout IX and CapMan
Mezzanine V funds. In addition, evaluation work continued on the potential for
establishing a new private equity real estate fund with a focus on Finnish
housing market.

The investment capacity of the CapMan Hotels RE Ky fund rose during the review
period from MEUR 872.5 to MEUR 950 and corresponds the fund's maximum borrowing
capacity.

The operations of the Finnventure Rahasto II Ky, Finnventure Rahasto III Ky, and
Finnventure Rahasto III G funds came to an end during the first quarter when the
funds in question exited their last remaining portfolio company, Oy Turo Tailor
Ab.

Capital under management totalled MEUR 3,556.8 as of 31 March 2010 (MEUR
3,434.4 as of 31 March 2009). Of this, MEUR 1,829 (MEUR 1,765.3) was in funds
making investments in portfolio companies and MEUR 1,727.8 (MEUR 1,668.1) in
real estate funds.

Funds under management and their investment activities are presented in more
detail in Appendices 1 and 2.


Changes in the company's management

Niko Haavisto was appointed CapMan Plc's CFO and a member of the Management
Group on 28 January 2010, and he took up the position on 26 April 2010. Lennart
Simonsen was appointed CapMan Plc's CEO and a Senior Partner on 30 March 2010
and he will take over this position as of 1 June 2010. These appointed are
covered in greater detail in the stock exchange releases issued on 28 January
and 30 March this year.


Decisions adopted by the Annual General Meeting

CapMan Plc held its Annual General Meeting in Helsinki on 30 March 2010. The AGM
confirmed the 2009 financial statements and discharged the Board of Directors
and the CEO from liability for the 2009 financial year. The meeting approved the
Board of Directors' proposals unamended. The AGM decided that a dividend of EUR
0.04 per share should be paid to shareholders, in line with the Board's
proposal, and this was paid to shareholders on 13 April 2010.

The AGM confirmed that the Board of Directors shall consist of six members and
that their term of office shall run until the end of the next AGM. Ms. Sari
Baldauf, Mr. Tapio Hintikka, Mr. Conny Karlsson, and Mr. Teuvo Salminen were
re-elected to the Board; and Mr. Koen Dejonckheere, CEO of Gimv NV, and Mr.
Heikki Westerlund, CEO of CapMan Plc, were elected as new members.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, were elected as the
company's auditors, with Jan Holmberg, APA, as Lead Auditor. Terja Artimo, APA,
of the same company, was elected as his deputy.

The AGM decided to amend Article 11 of the Articles of Association regarding how
and when notice of a General Meeting of Shareholders should be given, in line
with a proposal by the Board of Directors. The amendment was entered into the
Finnish Trade register after the review period on 26 April 2010.

Authorizations granted to the Board by the AGM

The AGM authorised the Board to purchase CapMan B shares and accept them as
pledges. The authorization covers a maximum of 8,000,000 B shares and will
remain in force until 30 June 2011. The AGM also authorised the Board to decide
on a share issue comprising the issue of new shares or the conveyance of B
shares held by the company and the issue of stock option rights and other
entitlements referred to in Paragraph 1, Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies
Act. The authorisation covers a maximum of 12,000,000 B shares and will remain
in force until 30 June 2011. The content of these authorisations is covered in
more detail in the stock exchange release related to the decisions adopted by
the AGM issued on 30 March 2010.


Organisation of the Board of Directors

At its organisation meeting held after the AGM on 30 March 2010, the Board of
Directors elected Heikki Westerlund as Chairman and Teuvo Salminen as Vice
Chairman. Vice Chairman Teuvo Salminen will assume the duties of the Chairman
until 1 June 2010. In addition, the Board established a Remuneration Committee
comprising Sari Baldauf (Chairperson), Tapio Hintikka, and Heikki Westerlund.
The Board also decided to establish a Nomination Committee, the members of which
shall be appointed at a later date. The Board decided not to establish a
separate Audit Committee at this stage, because the Board shall be able to
handle the Committee's duties along its other tasks.


Personnel

CapMan employed a total of 148 people as of 31 March 2010 (147 as of 31 March
2009), of whom 102 (106) worked in Finland and the remainder in other Nordic
countries or Russia. A breakdown of personnel by country and team is presented
in the tables section.


Shares and share capital

There were no changes in CapMan Plc's share capital or the number of shares
during the review period. Share capital as of 31 March 2010 totalled EUR
771,586.98. B shares totalled 78,281,766 and A shares 6,000,000 as of 31 March
2010. B shares entitle holders to one vote per share and A shares to 10 votes
per share.


Shareholders

CapMan Plc had 4,789 shareholders as of 31 March 2010 (4,529 as of 31 March
2009). No significant changes took place in the company's ownership during the
quarter and no flagging notices were issued.

Company shares

As of 31 March 2010, CapMan Plc held a total of 26,299 CapMan Plc B shares and
made no purchases of company shares during the review period.

Stock option programmes

As of 31 March 2010, CapMan Plc had one stock option programme in place - Option
Programme 2008 - as part of incentive and commitment arrangements for key
personnel. The maximum number of stock options issued within Option Programme
2008 will be 4,270,000, which will carry an entitlement to subscribe to a
maximum of 4,270,000 new B shares. The programme is divided into A and B series,
both of which cover a maximum of 2,135,000 option entitlements. The subscription
period for 2008A options will start on 1 May 2011 and for 2008B options on 1 May
2012. Receivables from shares subscribed using these options will be entered in
the company's invested unrestricted shareholders' equity. As of the end of the
review period, all option entitlements to the 2008A series had been allocated
and 1,910,000 option entitlements to the 2008B series.


Trading and market capitalisation

CapMan Plc's B share's price developed strongly during the first quarter,
although the volume of shares traded was below that seen during the first
quarter of 2009. B shares closed at EUR 1.74 on 31 March 2010 (EUR 0.80 on 31
March 2009). The average price during the quarter was EUR 1.66 (EUR 0.92). The
highest price paid was EUR 1.89 (EUR 1.10) and the lowest EUR 1.34 (EUR 0.79). A
total of 3.2 million (3.4 million) CapMan Plc B shares were traded during the
quarter, valued at MEUR 5.4 (MEUR 3.1).

The market capitalisation of CapMan Plc B shares as of 31 March 2010 was MEUR
136.2 (MEUR 60.4). The market capitalisation of all company shares, including A
shares valued at the closing price of B shares, was MEUR 146.7 (MEUR 65.2).


Events occurring after the review period


The CapMan Buyout IX fund's size increased from MEUR 273.3 to MEUR 289.6 in May
as new capital totalling MEUR 16.3 was raised for the fund. Fundraising for this
fund will continue until the end of June 2010.

Significant risks and short-term uncertainties

CapMan's Management Company business is profitable on an annual basis, but a
major element of uncertainty is associated with forecasting the company's
overall financial performance because of the timing of revenue generated from
possible carried interest and the development of the fair value of portfolio
companies. Structural changes in the Nordic region's export industries could
have a negative impact on the operations of some of our portfolio companies and
their profitability. The growth of unemployment resulting from the economic
recession, together with the decline in consumer purchasing power linked to
this, could be reflected in the operations and profitability of portfolio
companies in the consumer sector and the shopping centres held in the portfolios
of our real estate funds. The fundraising environment is expected to remain
challenging, which could impact the outcome of the fundraising process currently
under way and the management fees that CapMan receives over the next few years.


Business environment

The prospects for growth in the demand for alternative assets continue to remain
good over the long term. The financial recession and the impact that it has had
are clearly slowing growth in the alternative asset class at the moment. Private
equity has consolidated its position in financing M&A and growth, and continues
to focus typically on sector consolidation, family successions, the
privatisation of public services and functions, and the commercialisation of R&D
in the technology and life science sectors. Increased entrepreneurial activity
has also boosted growth. Real estate funds have gained an established share of
institutional investors' investment allocations.

The EU Directive on Alternative Investment Fund Managers currently being drafted
- when passed - will stipulate an operating license for participants, as well as
other significant requirements, including fund investor and authority reporting.
The new regulations will place a burden on smaller players in particular and may
also impact the overall number of players in the field. Thanks to its
organisation and operating model, CapMan is in a good position to meet the
challenge these new regulations represent.

CapMan funds investing in portfolio companies will continue to implement their
investment strategies. Bank financing for buyouts, mergers and acquisitions, and
real estate investments is now available again, and the volume of deal flow has
clearly risen across all our investment areas. We also believe that the exit
market will improve during 2010.

The development of our portfolio companies during the early part of the year was
largely good, and profit and growth projections for 2010 as a whole are
positive. Fair value development will also be impacted by how well listed
companies are able to deliver on their profit projections and by how the
exchange rates of currencies used in our areas of operations perform against the
euro. We plan to keep sufficient reserves in our funds to support our companies'
growth and financing. Long-term cooperation with the Nordic banks is
particularly important for us, and has worked well.

In the real estate sector, the gap in price expectations between purchasers and
vendors and the element of caution in loan market have seen the volume of real
estate transactions remain at a low level. The use of equity for financing real
estate transactions has increased. The combined trend of weakening property
demand and rising yield expectations has tailed off and property valuation
levels have stabilised, at least for the time being. Demand for prime real
estate remains good. We expect the number of real estate transactions to
increase clearly during 2010. Occupancy rates and demand for office and retail
premises have continued to be satisfactory. The vacancy rates for office
premises are expected to rise in Greater Helsinki, however, putting a downward
pressure on rents. The demand for real estate consulting has remained stable.

All of CapMan's investment teams are in a good position and have sufficient
resources to implement their investment strategies in the Nordic countries and
Russia. CapMan's funds investing in portfolio companies have some MEUR 830
available for making new and add-on investments, while real estate funds have
approximately MEUR 370 of investment capacity, mainly for developing the
existing portfolio.


Future outlook

Management fees and income from real estate consulting will cover CapMan's fixed
costs and interest expenses in 2010.

Exit negotiations are under way in respect of a number of companies in the
portfolios of CapMan funds. We expect the CapMan Equity VII A, B, and Sweden
funds, as well as the Finnmezzanine III A and B funds, to transfer to carry
during 2010-2011.

The fair value of CapMan's fund investments showed a small positive improvement
during the first quarter of 2010, and we expect at least a neutral trend in this
area to continue. Progress during the rest of the year will depend on the
development of portfolio companies and the general market situation.

The Group's overall result in the first quarter of 2010 was good and the overall
result for 2010 is expected to exceed clearly the previous year's result. The
overall result will mainly depend on whether new exits are made by funds already
generating carried interest, whether new funds will transfer to carry, and on
how the value of investments will develop in those funds in which CapMan is a
substantial investor.

CapMan Plc will publish its Interim Report for 1 January - 30 June 2010 on
Friday 6 August 2010.

timing of exits. One exit may have an appreciable impact on CapMan Plc's result
for the full financial year.

APPENDIX 1: CAPMAN PLC GROUP'S FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT AS OF 31 MARCH 2010, MEUR

The tables below show the status of funds managed by CapMan as of 31 March
2010. When analysing the schedule for funds to start generating carried
interest, the relationship between the cumulative cash flows already distributed
to investors and paid-in capital should be compared. When a fund starts
generating carried interest the capital must be returned and an annual
preferential return paid on it. The fair value of a portfolio, including any of
the fund's net cash assets, represents the capital distributable to investors at
the end of the review period.

When assessing the cash flow a fund needs in order to start generating carried
interest, it should be noted that the capital of some funds has not yet been
called and paid in. The percentage figure in the last column on the right of the
tables below shows CapMan's share of cash flows if the fund is generating
carried interest. After the previous distribution of profits, any new capital
paid in, as well as the preferential annual return on it, must be returned to
investors before further carried interest income can be paid. Of the funds
already generating carried interest, the Finnventure V fund can still make
follow-on investments in its current portfolio companies.

The definitions for column headings are presented below the tables.

Size/Investment capacity:

Total capital committed to a fund by investors, i.e. the original size of the
fund. For real estate funds, investment capacity also includes the share of debt
financing used by the fund.

Capital under management by Access Capital Partners is presented separately in
Appendix 3.

Paid-in capital:

Total capital paid into a fund by investors at the end of the review period.

Fund's current portfolio at fair value:

Fund investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance
with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines
(IPEVG, www.privateequityvaluation.com), and investments in real estate assets
are valued in accordance with the appraisals of external experts.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Due to the nature
of private equity investment activities, fund portfolios contain investments
with a fair value that exceeds their acquisition cost, as well as investments
with a fair value less than the acquisition cost.

Net cash assets:

When calculating the investors' share, a fund's net cash assets must be taken
into account in addition to the portfolio at fair value. The proportion of debt
financing in real estate funds is presented in separate rows in the table.

CapMan's share of cash flow if a fund generates carried interest:

When a fund has produced for investors the cumulative preferential return
specified in the fund agreements, the management company is entitled to an
agreed share of future cash flows from the fund (carried interest).

Cash flow, in this context, includes both profit distributed by the funds and
repayments of capital. After the previous distribution of profits, any new
capital called in, as well as any annual preferential returns on it, must
however be returned to investors before the new distribution of profits can be
paid.

Footnotes to the table
1) The Fenno Rahasto, Skandia I, and Skandia II funds comprise the Fenno
Programme, which is managed jointly with Fenno Management Oy.

2) The fund is comprised of two or more legal entities (parallel funds are
presented separately only if their investment focuses or portfolios differ
significantly).

3) Currency items are valued at the average exchange rates quoted on 31 March
2010.

4) CapMan Mezzanine IV: The paid-in commitment includes a MEUR 192 bond issued
by Leverator Plc. Distributed cash flow includes payments to both bond
subscribers and to the fund's partners.

5) CapMan Real Estate I: Distributed cash flow includes repayment of the bonds
and cash flow to the fund's partners. Following the previous payment of carried
interest, a total of MEUR 59.4 in paid-in capital had not yet been returned to
investors. This capital, together with the annual income entitlement payable on
it, must be paid to investors before further carried interest can be
distributed. CapMan considers it unlikely, in the light of the market situation,
that further carried interest will be provided by the CapMan Real Estate I fund.
As a result, the fund has been transferred from those funds in carry. A total of
some MEUR 6 of carried interest was not entered in CapMan's profit in 2007 but
instead left in reserve in case that some of the carried interest would have to
be returned to investors in future.

APPENDIX 2: OPERATIONS OF CAPMAN'S FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT, 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH
2010

The operations of private equity funds managed by CapMan during the review
period comprised direct investments in portfolio companies, mainly in the Nordic
countries and Russia (CapMan Private Equity), as well as real estate
investments, mainly in Finland (CapMan Real Estate). The investment activities
of funds making direct investments in portfolio companies include mid-sized
buyout investments in manufacturing industry and the service and retail sectors,
technology investments in growth-stage and later growth-stage technology
companies, life science investments in companies specialising in medical
technology and healthcare services, investments in mid-sized companies operating
in Russia, and investments in significant minority holdings in listed mid-cap
companies.


CAPMAN PRIVATE EQUITY

Investments in portfolio companies in January-March 2010

CapMan funds made three new investments, as well as several follow-on
investments, during the first quarter, investing MEUR 22.2 in all. New
investments accounted for around a third of the total. The new investments were
Hermelinen Hälsovård AB and LMZ, which was announced after the review period in
April. Significant add-on investments were made in Walki Group Oy, Affecto Oyj,
and InfoCare Holding A/S. During the first quarter of 2009, funds made one new
investment and a number of add-on investing totalling MEUR 39.6.

Exists from portfolio companies in January-March 2010

CapMan funds exited completely from Inflight Service AB, Oy Turo Taylor Ab, and
Pretax Oy during the first quarter. In addition, funds sold the shares in
US-based On2 Technologies received when exiting Hantro Products Oy in 2007.
Funds also exited partially from Nobia AB. Exits made during the quarter had an
acquisition cost of MEUR 32.4. No significant exits were made during the
comparable period last year.

Events after the review period

In April, it was announced that the CapMan Technology 2007 fund will invest in
