Reduction of the share premium account of Tekla Corporation

The Annual General Meeting held on April 8, 2010 decided on reducing the share
premium account shown on the company's balance sheet of December 31, 2009 by
8,892,678.86 euros by transferring all the funds to the invested non-restricted
equity fund. The Finnish National Board of Patents and Registration has given
its consent for the reduction of the share premium account. The transaction has
been recorded in September.

The transfer of the funds to invested non-restricted equity fund will increase
the flexibility of the capital structure and the company's distributable
shareholders' equity. Any possible repayment of equity requires a decision by a
General Meeting.
