Oriola-KD Corporation Stock Exchange Release 13 February 2014 at 11.15 a.m.

Oriola-KD Corporation considers issuance of a hybrid bond

Oriola-KD Corporation is considering the issuance of a hybrid bond. The
potential issue is expected to be launched in the near future subject to market
conditions. The targeted size of the issue is approximately EUR 40 million.

Oriola-KD  intends to use the proceeds of the issue primarily in refinancing and
restructuring the existing debt taken out to fund the company's investments. The
proceeds may also be used for general corporate purposes.

A hybrid bond is an instrument which is subordinated to the company's other debt
obligations and which is treated as equity in the IFRS financial statements. The
hybrid bond does not confer to its holders the rights of a shareholder and does
not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.

Nordea Markets acts as the sole lead manager for the transaction. Hannes
Snellman Attorneys Ltd acts as legal advisor to Oriola-KD.
