Cargotec - Company Announcement

Cargotec signs a letter of intent with Komas to develop a long-term sourcing partnership


CARGOTEC CORPORATION, STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, 30 NOVEMBER 2011 AT 2 P.M. (EET)

Cargotec and Komas have signed a letter of intent which outlines the guidelines
for deepening the companies' cooperation as a long-term sourcing partnership.
The preliminary agreement includes a planned transaction by which Komas would
acquire Cargotec's component manufacturing operations in Narva, Estonia. The
parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the planned transaction, which
is expected to take place during the coming months.

The cooperation and potential transaction would support Cargotec's approach to
focus on its core activities. Today, Narva is its only production unit focusing
solely on component manufacturing.

Komas is already one of Cargotec's preferred suppliers of steel structures. By
deepening this relationship, Cargotec will secure a recognised partner for the
supply of components.

Cargotec employs approximately 370 people in Narva. Based on the preliminary
plan, all employees would transfer to Komas, which plans to continue operations
in the existing premises. Cargotec would remain a key customer of the plant.
