The Prospectus contains new group’s pro forma-financial information on June
30th 2015 and concerning fiscal year 2014. Pro forma-financial information
concerns the post transaction Group. The assets and financial statement items
that are excluded from the transaction are not included in the pro
forma-financial information. AP-Tela has been reclassified as a continued
operation unlike in figures published Vaahto Group in 2015 and 2014.  The

are considering viable to analyse alternatives for utilising AP-Tela’s
operations as part of new group after the transaction.

forma-financial information, the acquisition is considered as a reverse
acquisition according to IFRS 3.

information appearing between the time the offering circular was approved and
the time when the offer expires or trading in the securities in a regulated
market begins must be disclosed to the public without undue delay by publishing

offering circular. Investors who have already agreed to subscribe for
securities before the correction or supplement of the offering circular is
published must be given the right to withdraw their subscription within no less
than two (2) banking days after the supplement has been published. The
cancellation right also requires that the mistake, inaccuracy or material new
information referred to above has emerged before the securities have been
delivered to the investors.

subscriptions in a stock exchange release at the same time with supplementing
the offering circular.

subscription rights, temporary shares, shares created through rights offering
or the rights offering. In addition, the Company has taken no measures to offer
the shares outside Finland or to offer the shares for persons whose
participation in the rights offering would require actions other than stated in
the Finnish law or would require additional prospectus. Legislation in some
countries might present some restrictions in participating in the share
offering.

Company and other shareholder rights in the Company as of their registration
with the Trade Register.

subscriptions, other issues relating to the Rights Issue and practical matters
relating to them. Company’s board can make technical changes and additions to
the contract terms, as well as extend the subscription period.
