INVITATION TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF TECNOMEN CORPORATION


The shareholders of Tecnomen Corporation are invited to the Annual General      
Meeting which is to be held on Wednesday, 12 March 2008 at 16 p.m. in the       
auditorium at Bank Restaurant, Unioninkatu 22, Helsinki. Registration for the   
meeting begins at the venue at 15 p.m.                                          

The following matters are on the Agenda:                                        

1) Matters belonging to the Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Articles of  
Association and Chapter 5 of the Companies Act.                                 

2) Authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire the Company's own shares  

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the   
Board of Directors to decide on acquiring a maximum of 5,790,000 of the         
Company's own shares (“Share Acquisition Authorization”).                       

Own shares can be acquired with unrestricted shareholders' equity otherwise than
in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders through public trading of the 
securities on OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki Oy at the market price of the shares 
in public trading at the time of the acquisition.                               

Own shares can be acquired for the purpose of developing the capital structure  
of the Company, carrying out corporate acquisitions or other business           
arrangements to develop the business of the Company, financing capital          
expenditure, to be used as part of the Company's incentive schemes, or to be    
otherwise retained in the possession of the Company, disposed of or nullified in
the extent and manner decided by the Board of Directors.                        

The Board of Directors will decide on other terms of the share acquisition. This
Share Acquisition Authorisation shall replace the authorisation given by the    
Annual General Meeting on 14 March 2007 and will be valid for one year from the 
decision of the Annual General Meeting.                                         

3) Authorisation of the Board of Directors to issue shares and to grant special 
rights entitling to shares                                                      

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the   
Board of Directors to decide to issue and/or convey a maximum of 17,800,000 new 
shares and/or the Company's own shares either against payment or for free       
(“Share Issue Authorisation”).                                                  

New shares may be issued and the Company's own shares may be conveyed to the    
Company's shareholders in proportion to their current shareholdings in the      
Company or waiving the shareholder's pre-emption right, through a directed share
issue if the Company has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as the       
development of the capital structure of the Company, carrying out corporate     
acquisitions or other business arrangements to develop the business of the      
Company, financing capital expenditure or using the shares as part of the       
Company's incentive schemes in the extent and manner decided by the Board of    
Directors.                                                                      

Board of Directors may also decide on a Free Share Issue to the Company itself. 
The number of shares to be issued to the Company together with the shares       
repurchased to the Company on the basis of the repurchase authorisation shall be
a maximum of one tenth (1/10) of all the Company's shares.                      

The Board of Directors is authorized to grant the special rights referred to in 
Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act, which carry the right to receive,   
against payment, new shares of the Company or the Company's own shares held by  
the Company in such a manner that the subscription price of the shares is paid  
in cash or by using the subscriber's receivable to set off the subscription     
price.                                                                          

The subscription price of the new shares and the consideration payable for the  
Company's own shares may be recorded partially or fully in the invested         
non-restricted equity fund or in the share capital in the extent and manner     
decided by the Board of Directors.                                              

The Board of Directors shall decide on other terms and conditions related to the
share issues and granting of the special rights. These proposed authorisations  
shall replace the authorisations given by the Annual General Meeting on 14 March
2007 and will be valid for two years from the decision of the Annual General    
Meeting.                                                                        

4) Dividend payment                                                             

The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of EUR 0.07 per share be paid   
for the financial period ended on 31 December 2007. The dividend shall be paid  
to the shareholder, who on the date of the dividend payment 17.3.2008 is        
registered on the shareholder register of the Company maintained by the Finnish 
Central Securities Depository Ltd. The Board of Directors proposes that the     
dividend be paid on 26.3.2008.                                                  

5) Auditor                                                                      

In accordance with the proposal of the Company's Compensation Committee, the    
Board of Directors proposes that KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants,     
continues as the Company's auditor and that the principal auditor appointed by  
them is Sixten Nyman, Authorised Public Accountant.                             

In accordance with the proposal of the Company's Compensation Committee, the    
Board of Directors proposes that auditor's fees are paid according to the       
auditor's invoice.                                                              

6) Board of directors
