FINAL OUTCOME OF SUOMINEN CORPORATION'S RIGHTS OFFERING                         

The final outcome of Suominen Corporation's ("Suominen") rights offering shows  
that 23,108,629 shares, representing 97.6% of the total number of shares        
offered, were subscribed for with subscription rights. The remaining 566,273    
shares were subscribed for without subscription rights.                         
The total subscription level of the rights offering was 139.3%. Due to the      
oversubscription, the allotment of the new shares subscribed for without        
subscription rights was determined in proportion of the exercised subscription  
rights, according with the terms and conditions of the rights offering. The     
Board of Directors of Suominen has today approved all the subscriptions made   
with subscription rights. Subscriptions made without subscription rights have   
been approved in accordance with above described allocation principles. A      
notification will be sent on or about 2 July 2010 to confirm the allotment of   
new shares to subscribers having subscribed for the new shares without          
subscription rights. The subscription price will be returned to the investors
on or about 1 July 2010 to the extent that investor's subscription for without
subscription rights exceeds the allotted amount of the offer shares. 
Interim shares representing the new shares will be traded on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
until 1 July 2010. All shares subscribed for in the rights offering are expected
to be registered with the Finnish Trade register on or about 1 July 2010, after 
which the interim shares will be combined with Suominen's existing shares and   
the shares subscribed for without subscription rights will be registered into   
the book entry accounts. Trading in the new shares alongside the existing shares
is expected to commence on or about 2 July 2010.                                
As a result of the rights offering, the number of Suominen's shares will        
increase by 23,674,902 shares to 47,395,014 shares. The total net proceeds of   
the rights offering will amount to approximately EUR 9.7 million.               
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of Suominen's option programs, the board of
directors of Suominen have amended the terms and conditions of the option       
programs to take into account the impact of the rights offering so that when    
earlier one option right entitled to subscribe for one share it now entitles to 
subscribe for two shares. The subscription prices per share are adjusted so that
now they are as follows: 2006C EUR 1.05, 2007A EUR 1.94, 2007B EUR 1.05 and     
2009A EUR 0.95.                                                                 
Pohjola Corporate Finance Ltd acted as the Lead Manager for the rights offering.
