BIOTIE THERAPIES CORP.       STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE  June 8, 2015 at 9.20 p.m.

CORRECTION: Biotie Increases Proposed U.S. Public Offering of ADSs

The stock exchange release published today at 3.35 p.m. by Biotie Therapies
Corp. concerning the increase of its proposed U.S. public offering did not
include a paragraph containing further information as to where the registration
statement and certain other documents relating to the proposed offering are
available. The following contains the amended stock exchange release in its
entirety.

Biotie Increases Proposed U.S. Public Offering of ADSs

Biotie Therapies Corp. ("Biotie" or the "Company"), a specialized drug
development company focused on products for neurodegenerative and psychiatric
disorders, has decided to increase its proposed U.S. public offering from $50
million to $56 million American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing its
shares.

The Company announced on June 4, 2015 its proposed U.S. public offering of $50
million. UCB S.A. ("UCB") has since agreed to cover the majority of the
underwriters' 30-day option to subscribe for up to an additional 15% of the
shares represented by ADSs sold in the U.S. public offering for the sole purpose
of covering potential over-allotments (the "Over-allotment Option"). As a
result, the Company has decided to increase the offering to $56 million, based
on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on
May 26, 2015. Total proceeds to the Company from the U.S. public offering and
the issuance of convertible promissory notes and warrants to certain U.S.
investors and certain existing shareholders completed on May 28, 2015 will
remain in-line with plans announced at that meeting to raise a total of
approximately €95 million. The change in structure will allow the Company to
increase the amount of funding raised to fund the Company's phase 3 program for
tozadenant without dependence on whether the underwriters exercise the Over-
allotment Option.

UCB's shares represent 519,583 ADS out of the potential maximum of 566,688 ADS
based on the below prices and assumptions. Biotie will not receive any proceeds
from the UCB shares and there will be no change in the number of newly
registered shares as a result of the sale of these UCB shares. The offering is
expected to be completed by the end of June.

On June 2, 2015, the last reported sale price of Biotie's shares on the NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki Ltd. was €0.168 per share, which is equivalent to a price of $14.82
per ADS, assuming an exchange rate of $1.1029 per euro and a share to ADS ratio
of 80 to one. Based on these prices and assumptions and excluding the Over-
allotment Option, a total of 3,777,919 ADSs would be offered, representing
302,233,506 newly issued shares.

As previously announced, certain of Biotie's existing investors and certain
members of its board of directors have indicated an interest in purchasing up to
an aggregate of $25 million of ADSs in the U.S. public offering at the public
offering price. An updated registration statement relating to the securities to
be issued in the offering has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold,
nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement
becomes effective.

The Company has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the U.S. public offering to which
this communication relates. Before you invest in the U.S. public offering, you
should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents
the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the
Company and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting
EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Company, any
underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you
the prospectus if you request it by contacting RBC Capital Markets, LLC, 200
Vesey Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10281, Attention: Equity Syndicate
Department, or by calling +1 877 822 4089, or by emailing
equityprospectus@rbccm.com, or Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated,
Attention: Syndicate, One Montgomery Street, Suite 3700, San Francisco,
California 94104, by telephone at +1 415 364 2720 or by email at
syndprospectus@stifel.com.

This stock exchange release does not constitute an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in
any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such state or jurisdiction.
