Ruukki's Board of Directors approved the termination of the trading plan on 5

trades in this release are therefore the last that will take place within this  
trading plan.

The trading plan is a written trading programme which sets out the strategy for 
the acquisition and/or disposal of securities to enable insiders of the Company 
to trade shares without doubts related to the use of insider information.  The  
plan specifies the amount, the price and the date on which the securities are to
be dealt in by an independent third party on behalf of the Company insider. The 
purpose of the trading plan is to separate the timing of the decision on the    
share trade and the execution of the trade.
