In its decision the Helsinki Court of Appeal imposed Stonesoft Corporation a corporate fine of EUR 20.000 for a security market information offence. Ilkka Hiidenheimo and Hannu Turunen as the members of the company's year 2000 Board of Directors and Esa Korvenmaa as the former CEO were each sentenced to 30 daily fines. Stonesoft's view is that it has properly taken care of investor communications during the period in question and, accordingly, the company considers the decision given by the Court of Appeal totally groundless. At this stage the company has not yet made its decision on whether or not to apply a leave to appeal from the Supreme Court.
