STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE
May 16, 2016 at 1.00 pm EET


Outokumpu announced in February 2016 the divestment of its remaining 5% share
in its Chinese joint venture Shanghai Krupp Stainless. Outokumpu has now agreed
with Lujiazui International Trust Co., Ltd on the final terms and conditions of
the transaction. 

The final transaction price for Outokumpu’s 5% rises to EUR 90 million from the
earlier estimated EUR 62 million, taking into account all adjustments.
Outokumpu will book additional capital gain of EUR 23 million net of taxes into
its second quarter results. The gain will be excluded from the underlying
profitability. In total, Outokumpu has now recorded a capital gain of EUR 412
million net of taxes for the sale of its entire 60% share in SKS. 

According to the agreement, the buyer will pay the final payment in three
installments. Outokumpu expects to close the transaction during the fourth
quarter of 2016 after receiving the final installment. Until then, Outokumpu
remains a minority shareholder with a 5 % share in SKS.
