THE DECISION OF THE HELSINKI COURT OF APPEAL CONCERNING THE SHARE ISSUE AND
SALES OF TJ GROUP PLC IN THE YEAR 2000 

The Helsinki Court of Appeal has today passed a judgment concerning the share
issue and sales of TJ Group Plc in the year 2000 wherein it has sentenced the
Member of the Board of the company Jyrki Salminen, the Chairman of the Board of
the company Tuomo Tilman and the CFO of the company to conditional sentences of
imprisonment. In addition the Court has ordered the proceeds of crime benefited
by Salminen and Tilman forfeited to the state. 

The company has been imposed a corporate fine of EUR 50,000 and a joint and
several liability to compensate an aggregate amount of EUR 1218.57. 

The Court rejected the confiscation claim of EUR 39,369,600 from the company,
but released the state from obligation to compensate the legal expenses of the
company. 

According to the view of the company the corporate fine and the compensation
liability imposed on the company are unfounded. The company shall apply a leave
to appeal from the Supreme Court.
