of the Securities Market Act announcing that on the maturity of the futures     
contract on 14 May 2010, Nordea Bank Suomi Oyj (1680235-8) has sold to Nordea   
Bank Ab (publ) (Swedish register number 516406-0120) all 1,909,483 SRV Group    
Plc's shares owned by them, therefore the portion of share capital and voting   
rights of Nordea Pankki Suomi Oyj in SRV Group Plc has decreased below 1/20.    
Nordea Bank AB (publ) owns now 1,909,483 SRV Group Plc's shares and its portion

As said in the earlier flagging announcement of 5 January 2010, Nordea Bank AB  
(publ) has made a total return swap with SRV Group Plc for the same amount of   
shares. Moreover, according to the agreement the shares will be sold to SRV     
Group Plc or a party designated by it when the agreement matures. Thus, when the
agreement matures in July 2010 Nordea Bank AB's (publ) portion of ownership of  
SRV Group Plc's equity and voting rights will decrease below 1/20.              

Moreover, Nordea Life and Pensions S.A. (domicile in Luxemburg, register number 
B35996) belonging to Nordea Group owns 29,508 SRV Group Plc's shares, which     
equals 0.08% of the total number of share capital and voting rights.    

The total ownership of Nordea Group in SRV Group Plc is 5.27% at the moment, but
will decrease below 1/20 due to what is said above.
