The company intends to use the assets to be obtained with the share issue for strengthening the company's balance sheet and financial position, and therefore, there are weighty financial reasons from the company's perspective for derogating from the pre-emptive right of the shareholders. The decision on a share issue is based on the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders today on 8 September 2009. A maximum total of 6,500,000 new shares will be issued. The minimum subscription is 1,000 new shares in the company. The subscription price is EUR 4.50 per share. The subscription price is based on the share price of the company's share. The volume weighted average share price between 1 January 2009 and 7 September 2009 has been EUR 4.54 per share. The share price of the company's share was EUR 4.73 on 7 September 2009. The difference between the share price and the subscription price is thus EUR 0.23. The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The subscription period for the new shares will be from 14 September 2009 to 18 September 2009. Approved subscriptions must be paid no later than 28 September 2009, in accordance with the instructions provided by the subscription place.

In the event of oversubscription, the aim will be to allocate the New Shares to shareholders in the proportion of the holding recorded in the shareholder register kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the Share Issue record date 11 September 2009. After this, the allocation may give preference to holders recorded in the bondholder registers 11 September 2009 regarding convertible 2005 and 2006 capital loans and the 2006 capital loan, and subscribers of the 2009 Subordinated Capital Loan.
