SOLTEQ PLC STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT ON NOVEMBER 1, 2013 AT 9 AM





Long term business partners Solteq Plc and Suomen Lähikauppa Ltd have signed an
agreement that complements the service package provided by Solteq to
Lähikauppa. 

 Solteq's estimate of the value of the deal is more than four million euro
spread over 2014-2016. 

- The agreement covers the delivery of all the maintenance and support services
related to Lähikauppa's retail systems as well as the management of these
services. This means that we are, in accordance with our strategy, proceeding
to a new area and thereby strengthening our position as a software service
provider that specializes in the retail and service industry. The value of the
deal is also significant for Solteq but it will not have an impact on our key
ratio forecast for the current year, states Solteq's CEO Repe Harmanen.
