Nordstjernan announces preliminary result of the public tender offer for all the
shares and option rights of Salcomp Plc                                         

The public tender offer by Nordstjernan AB (“Nordstjernan”) for all issued and  
outstanding shares and option rights in Salcomp Plc (“Salcomp”), commenced on   
September 19, has expired on October 5, 2007 pursuant to the terms and          
conditions of the offer. The tender offer period will not be continued.         

According to the preliminary result of the tender offer, shareholders holding   
850,622 shares in Salcomp and representing approximately 2.2 per cent of the    
shares and votes have tendered their shares in the public tender offer.         
Nordstjernan's total holding in Salcomp would rise approximately to 54.5 per    
cent of the shares and votes in Salcomp when taking into account those shares of
Salcomp acquired earlier by Nordstjernan.                                       

The final result of the tender offer will be confirmed and announced            
approximately on October 10, 2007 at the latest.                                

The tender offer will be executed and the consideration will be paid to all     
Salcomp shareholders accepted the tender offer pursuant to the terms and        
conditions of the offer. The trades of the shares will be executed by estimation
on October 10, 2007 at the latest and will be settled by estimation on October

The payment of the offer price of the shares will be deposited into the bank    
account connected to the book-entry account of the shareholder having accepted  
the tender offer or, in the case of shareholders whose holdings are registered  
in the name of a nominee, into the bank account specified in the acceptance form
on the settlement date. If the bank account of a tendering shareholder is with a
different banking institution than the book-entry account of such holder, the   
receipt of the offer price may be delayed by up to approximately two Finnish    
banking days in accordance with the schedule for payment transactions between   
Finnish financial institutions.                                                 

Title to the shares of Salcomp will pass to Nordstjernan against payment of the 
offer price.
