Due to the continuous deterioration of the macroeconomic environment
and its impact on demand for IT services in certain industry sectors
on Tieto's main markets, Tieto will start personnel negotiations
regarding employee reductions in selected operating countries mainly
in Northern Europe. The company expects these actions to affect
altogether approximately 350 employees, of which approximately 170
will be in Sweden. The rest 180 redundancies are distributed rather
evenly between Denmark, Norway, Germany, the UK, Latvia and India.
Finland is not included in this process.

CEO Hannu Syrjälä says: "The downturn of the overall economy has
continued and this has lead to cautiousness in IT investments among
our customers in certain industry sectors. We are taking actions to
address this change in demand and to reduce overall costs."

Tieto currently employs 16 600 persons of which approximately 6 600
work in Finland, 3 500 in Sweden and the rest in other countries.
