District Court rejects Oy Primula Ab bankruptcy estate's action for damages
against HKScan 

The District Court of Southwest Finland has today, 2 February 2015, issued its
interlocutory ruling by which it rejects as patently unfounded an action for
damages submitted against HKScan Corporation and HKScan Finland Oy by the
bankruptcy estate of Oy Primula Ab. Primula sued HKScan for breach of contract
concerning initial investigations carried out in 2009 and 2010 by HK Ruokatalo
(today HKScan Finland Oy) and Primula related to potential collaboration
between HKScan and Primula's Järvenpää production site (Järvenpään Herkkutehdas
Oy). 

The District Court denied the claim for damages and additionally ordered Oy
Primula Ab's bankruptcy estate to pay HKScan's legal fees. The court ruling is
not yet final and binding.
