Metso Oyj - Company Announcement

Metso obtained EUR 200 million of long-term funding

Metso Corporation's company release on June 10, 2009 at 11 a.m.

Metso Corporation has made a placement of 5-year bonds to a group of
European investors under Metso's EMTN program. In order to
accommodate investor preferences the overall issue size is EUR 300
million. Out of this total, and considering Metso's actual funding
needs, its 100% owned subsidiary Metso Capital Ltd has subscribed EUR
100 million for potential resale after an 18-month lock-up period.
The notes carry a fixed interest coupon of 7.25%. Issue date is June
10, 2009. Application is being made to list these notes on the
Luxemburg Stock Exchange.

The funding is primarily to refinance Metso's existing debt and to
extend maturity structure. Metso has done other smaller 4-5 year debt
transactions earlier this year amounting to EUR 165 million. New
funding altogether exceeds the repayments of long-term debt falling
due during the two and a half year period from the beginning of 2009.

Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for
mining, construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the
pulp and paper industries. We have about 28,000 employees in more
than 50 countries. www.metso.com
