CapMan completes exit from Tokmanni

Funds managed by CapMan have completed the exit from the Tokmani Group as
announced on 24 May 2012. CapMan funds sold their equity stakes in Tokmanni to
Nordic Capital Fund VII. The exit transfers the CapMan Equity VII B fund into
carry.

The impact of the transaction on CapMan's current year financial result is
approximately €1.2 million consisting of carried interest income and return on
CapMan's own fund investments. The impact on CapMan Group's 2012 cash flow is
approximately €4.4 million.

After the closing of the transaction, the CapMan Equity VII A and CapMan Equity
Sweden KB funds have returned their total paid-in capital to investors and are
closer to carry. Four companies remain in the CapMan Equity VII B fund
portfolio.
