Huhtamaki to evaluate options for its Films business

As a result of Huhtamaki's growing strategic focus on food packaging it has been
decided to evaluate options regarding the Group's Films business. A potential
outcome of this evaluation is divestment of the Films business segment. The
segment's net sales have grown well in 2014 and its financial performance is
improving.

The Films segment manufactures and sells films that are mainly used for
technical applications in the label, adhesive tape, hygiene and health care
industries, as well as building and construction, automotive, packaging and
graphic arts industries. The segment serves global markets from manufacturing
units in Europe, Asia, North America and South America. The net sales of the
segment in 2013 were EUR 187 million and it has 924 employees.
