Okmetic Oyj's ("Okmetic") Board of Directors has decided to apply for the
termination of public trading in Okmetic's shares and for the delisting of all
Okmetic's shares from the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd ("Nasdaq
Helsinki").

NSIG Finland S.à r.l. ("NSIG Finland"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
National Silicon Industry Group ("NSIG"), owns approximately 97.43 percent of
all the shares and votes in Okmetic (excluding the treasury shares held by
Okmetic). NSIG Finland has initiated redemption proceedings in accordance with
Chapter 18 of the Finnish Limited Liabilities Companies Act in order to redeem
all the remaining shares in Okmetic held by the minority shareholders.

Provided that the arbitral tribunal appointed for the redemption proceedings
confirms that NSIG Finland's redemption right is clear, NSIG Finland is entitled
to gain title to all the shares in Okmetic held by the minority shareholders
against the placing of a security approved by the arbitral tribunal for the
payment of the redemption price.

Okmetic has today submitted an application to Nasdaq Helsinki concerning
delisting of its shares from the official list. In the application Okmetic
requests that the quotation of Okmetic's shares on the official list of Nasdaq
Helsinki be terminated as soon as possible upon NSIG Finland having gained title
to all the shares in Okmetic that are not owned by Okmetic or any of its
subsidiaries in the redemption proceedings.
