The shareholders of Scanfil plc are invited to the Annual General Meeting, to be
held on Thursday 26 March 2009 at 2.00 pm at the Company's main office,         
Yritystie 6, 85410 Sievi Finland.                                               

The following matters will be on the agenda of the Meeting:                     
1. The matters to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Article
8 of the Articles of Association.                                               

Distribution of profits                                                         
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of
EUR 0.12 per share on the market be paid for the financial year 2008. Dividend  
will be paid to those shareholders who on the matching day on 31 March 2009 are 
entered in the Company's Register of Shareholders, kept by Euroclear Finland Oy 
(Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd.) The dividend payment day is 7 April
2009                                                                            

Election of the members of the Board of Directors                               
The biggest shareholders of the Company representing over 50% of shares and     
votes propose to the Annual General Meeting that Asa-Matti Lyytinen, Jorma      
J.Takanen, Reijo Pöllä, Jarkko Takanen and Tuomo Lähdesmäki be re-elected as    
members of the Board of Directors until the closing of the following Annual     
General Meeting.                                                                

2. To authorise the Board to decide on the repurchase of company shares         

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the   
Board to decide on the repurchase of a maximum of 3,000,000 company shares,     
using non-restricted equity according to the Companies Act currently in force.  

Shares will be purchased in another proportion than that of the holdings of the 
current shareholders. Purchasing will take place through a public trading       
arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy. The shares will be purchased at the fair    
value established in public trading at the time of acquisition. The acquisition 
of shares will decrease the Company's distributable non-restricted equity.      

Shares can be repurchased to develop the company's capital structure, for use as
consideration in acquisitions or to finance other arrangements, as part of the  
company's incentive scheme in the manner and within the scope determined by the 
Board, or to be further disposed of or retired.                                 
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation cancels the authorisation
given in the Annual General Meeting on 3 April 2008 to purchase the Company's   
own shares.                                                                     
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation be in force from its     
granting until the closing of the following Annual General Meeting.             

3. To authorise the Board to decide on the disposal of company shares           

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the   
Board to decide on the disposal of a maximum of 5,300,000 company shares        
according to the Companies Act currently in force.                              

The Board of Directors will be authorised to decide to whom and in which order  
to transfer the Company's own shares. The Board of Directors may decide to      
transfer the Company's own shares in deviation from shareholders' pre-emptive   
rights.                                                                         
The shares are transferred at the fair value established in public trading at   
the time of transfer and they may also be transferred against other compensation
than money.                                                                     

The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation be in force from its     
granting until the closing of the following Annual General Meeting.             

Meeting documents
