Aldata Solution Oyj, a leading global provider of software solutions
for the retail industry, today announced that it has entered into a
combination agreement with Sauna Acquisition LLC (the "Offeror"), a
company owned by Symphony Technology Group (STG) under which the
Offeror, or a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the
Offeror will make a voluntary public tender offer valued at EUR 1.82
in cash per share to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares
(the "Shares") of Aldata. Clearlake Capital Group is helping to lead
the financing of the transaction."Based on the valuation of Aldata offered by STG, the Board of
Directors has carefully analyzed the offered price and considers that
the Share Offer Price and the Warrant Offer Prices are sufficient.
Therefore, it has decided to support the offered prices to the
shareholders and holders of warrants of Aldata." said Peter Titz,
Chairman of Aldata.

Rene Homeyer, Aldata's President and CEO explained, "We have spent
some time searching for the right strategic partner to help take our
business into its next growth phase. The opportunity to become a
privately wholly-owned STG company will allow us to benefit from
their strong expertise in the retail sector with companies like
Information Resources (IRI), and their extensive international
network as we look to develop a broader global footprint."

He continued, "This transaction will, on closing, generate an
immediate cash return for Aldata shareholders and will allow the
company to continue to focus on delivering leading retail solutions
for the benefit of our customers. It will also eliminate any
questions over our viability as a strategic supplier to some of the
world's largest global customers."

William Chisholm, Managing Director of STG added, "Aldata is a clear
market leading company in the retail sector with a proven track
record of delivering value to clients. We are pleased to have the
opportunity to continue to build upon the strong franchise that the
Aldata management team has developed over the past number of years,
and are committed to continuing to deliver compelling value to
customers.""We are pleased to be working together with STG again and believe the
unique combination of STG and Aldata will result in a strong and
successful platform for future growth," said Steven Chang, Partner at
Clearlake Capital Group.

The price offered for each Share validly tendered in the Tender Offer
is EUR 1.82 in cash (the "Share Offer Price"). The Share Offer Price
represents a premium of approximately 19 per cent compared to the
closing price of the Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange on the
23rd of May 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the
Tender Offer.
