NORDEA HAS EXERCISED ITS OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION IN THE OFFERING OF ATRIA GROUP
PLC'S SHARES 

Atria Group Plc ('Atria' or the 'Company') published on 31 May 2007 its
resolution to carry out the share offering and to issue 4,500,000 new series A
shares, as well as on the over-allotment option comprising up to 675,000
additional new series A shares relating to the share offering. 

Nordea Bank Finland Plc, the manager of the share offering, has exercised the
over-allotment option to cover over-allotments in accordance with the terms of
the offering and subscribed the total maximum number of additional new series A
shares at the subscription price of EUR 23 per share used in the share
offering. Following the exercise of the over-allotment option, Atria issues a
total of 675,000 new series A shares. The additional shares correspond to
approximately 2.4 per cent of the total number of Atria's outstanding shares
and approximately 0.6 per cent of the total number of votes attaching to the
Company's shares after the offering. 

Following the subscriptions made, Atria's share capital will increase by EUR
1,147,500 which increase will be registered in the Finnish trade register at
the earliest on or about 11 June 2007. Following the registration of the new
shares, Atria's share capital will amount to EUR 48,055,137.60, divided into
19,063,747 series A shares and 9,203,981 series KII shares. Following the
subscription of the additional shares, Atria's total net proceeds for the
offering (after deducting the estimated expenses) will be approximately EUR 115
million. 

The new shares subscribed in the offering entitle to dividend and provide other
shareholder rights once the share capital increase has been registered in the
Trade Register. 

The new shares are expected to be subject to public trading on the Helsinki
Exchanges after the shares have been registered in the trade register, i.e. at
the earliest on 11 June 2007.
