TECHNOPOLIS PLC     STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE       September 28, 2016 at 2:30 p.m.

Technopolis Plc Announces the Final Result of the Successful Rights Offering

  -- Technopolis Plc's ("Technopolis") rights offering (the "Offering")
     oversubscribed by 66 percent
  -- Net proceeds raised through the Offering of approximately EUR 124.3 million
  -- Total number of shares in Technopolis will increase to 158,793,662 shares

The Board of Directors of Technopolis has today approved all subscriptions made
pursuant to primary subscription rights and decided to approve secondary
subscriptions made by Technopolis' shareholders and/or other investors in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offering. 

A total of 87,034,926 shares were subscribed for in Technopolis’ Offering,
representing approximately 166 percent of the 52,282,030 shares offered (the
“Offered Shares”). A total of 51,520,356 shares were subscribed for pursuant to
primary subscription rights, representing approximately 99 percent of all
Offered Shares. In addition, a total of 35,514,570 shares were subscribed for
without subscription rights in the secondary subscription, of which
subscriptions for 761,674 shares were approved. 

The subscription price was EUR 2.40 per Offered Share, and Technopolis raised
net proceeds of approximately EUR 124.3 million through the Offering. As a
result of the Offering, the total number of shares in Technopolis will increase
to 158,793,662 shares. All Offered Shares subscribed for in the Offering have
been fully paid for. The Offered Shares will entitle their holders to dividends
and other distributions of funds, if any, and to other shareholder rights in
Technopolis after the Offered Shares have been registered with the Finnish
Trade Register and in Technopolis' shareholder register on or about September
29, 2016. 

Trading in interim shares (TPS1VN0116), representing the Offered Shares
subscribed for pursuant to subscription rights, commenced on September 22,
2016. The interim shares will be combined with Technopolis’ existing share
class (TPS1V) after the Offered Shares have been registered with the Finnish
Trade Register on or about September 29, 2016. Trading in the Offered Shares as
a part of Technopolis' current share class will commence on the official list
of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on or about September 30, 2016. The Offered Shares
subscribed for without subscription rights (secondary subscription) will be
recorded on the subscriber’s book-entry account after the Offered Shares have
been registered with the Finnish Trade Register on or about September 29, 2016. 

Investors are informed in writing about the acceptance or dismissal of
allocation of subscriptions based on the secondary subscription as of September
30, 2016. If the subscriber will not receive all Offered Shares subscribed for
by virtue of the secondary subscription, the subscription price for the
unallocated Offered Shares will be repaid to the bank account informed by the
subscriber in connection with the subscription starting on or about September
29, 2016. The returned funds accrue no interest. 

Nordea Bank Finland Plc acted as the manager for the Offering.

Amendments to Terms and Conditions of Share-based Incentive Plans

As a result of the Offering, Technopolis' Board of Directors has on August 31,
2016 decided to adjust the maximum amount of rewards and/or the earning
criteria under the Company's share-based incentive plans in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the plans. Based on the results of the Offering, the
Board of Directors of Technopolis has today confirmed the final effect of these
adjustments on the maximum amount of shares payable under the ongoing earning
periods of these plans. 

In addition, the Board of Directors has today decided on certain other
adjustments to the maximum amount of rewards payable under the Company's
Performance Share Plan 2013-2017 and Performance Share Plan 2016-2020,
respectively, to take into account and eliminate dilution of the plans
resulting from both the rights issue implemented by Technopolis in 2013 as well
as the Offering. 

The maximum amount of shares payable under each of the share-based incentive
plans was thus adjusted as follows: the maximum amount of shares potentially
still payable under the Performance Share Plan 2013-2017 was adjusted to
662,610 shares (before the adjustment the maximum amount of shares potentially
payable under the still ongoing earning periods was 520,000 shares), the
maximum amount of shares potentially payable under the Performance Share Plan
2016-2020 was adjusted to 896,316 shares (before the adjustment a maximum of
780,000 shares) and the maximum amount of shares potentially payable under the
Matching Share Plan 2016 was adjusted to 97,675 shares (before the adjustment a
maximum of 85,000 shares). 

In Helsinki on September 28, 2016.
