The Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the Redemption Committee of the Central

by lodging a security approved by the Arbitral Tribunal for the payment of the
redemption price and the interest accruing thereon and potential interest on
arrears. 

Straumur has today lodged security approved by the Arbitral Tribunal and thus

of the Companies Act. After the security having been lodged, the minority
shareholders of eQ who are parties to the redemption proceedings are only
entitled to receive the redemption price and the interest payable thereon and

Upon application by eQ, OMX Nordic Exchange Helsinki Oy (“OMX Helsinki”) has
decided that the eQ shares will be delisted from the Official List of OMX
Helsinki upon title to all shares in eQ having been transferred to Straumur.
The quoting of the eQ shares on OMX Helsinki will thus cease today in
accordance with a separate release by OMX Helsinki.
