The Bilbao court of first instance in Spain has accepted the claim of 20
million euros brought against Outokumpu and two other companies, regarding the
divested copper business in Spain, where one of the divested companies later
faced a bankruptcy. The claim relates to recovery of payments made by the
bankrupt Spanish company in connection with the divestment. 

Outokumpu intends to appeal the court's decision.

Outokumpu sold all of its copper business between 2003 and 2008.
