DISTRICT COURT DISMISSED ALL CHARGES AGAINST SCANFIL PLC CONCERNING DELAYED PROFIT WARNING AT TURN OF 2005-2006


DISTRICT COURT DISMISSED ALL CHARGES AGAINST SCANFIL PLC CONCERNING DELAYED     
PROFIT WARNING AT TURN OF 2005-2006                                             

In its decision issued today, the District Court of Helsinki has dismissed all  
charges against the Chairman of Scanfil plc's Board of Directors and against    
Scanfil plc's former CEO in legal proceedings that concerned a delayed profit   
warning at the turn of 2005-2006.                                               

The District Court of Helsinki also dismissed the prosecutor's claim for        
sentencing Scanfil plc to a fine imposed on a corporation of EUR 25,000.        

According to the court's decision, the state is obliged to pay defendants legal 
expenses.                                                                       

The prosecutor also considered charges against two members of the Board of      
Directors for alleged misuse of insider information. The prosecutor decided     
already earlier to waive charges in this respect.                               

Scanfil plc and its management have all along denied all the suspicions in their
entirety and emphasised that corporate communications have been handled with    
care.
