Rovio   Entertainment   Corporation   (the   "Company")  has  today  received  a
notification  in  accordance  with  the  Chapter  9, Section  10 of  the Finnish

shares  and votes (amounting to 41.45 percent of all the shares and votes in the
Company)  and Trema's holding through  financial instruments has decreased below
the threshold of 5 percent.

The  change  is  due  to  a  share  lending  agreement signed by Trema, Silavano
Investments  S.à.r.l ("Silavano") and Danske  Bank A/S, Helsinki Branch ("Danske
Bank")  in  connection  with  the  initial  public  offering  of  the Company on

purchase  shares from Trema up to the amount corresponding to the shares lent by
Trema  to  Danske  Bank  (4,638,000  shares)  in order to cover over-allotments.
Danske  Bank  purchases  889,418 shares  from  Trema  pursuant to the option and
redelivers  simultaneously to Trema the shares borrowed by Danske Bank according
to  the share  lending agreement.  As a  result, Trema's  direct holding  in the
