Suomen Hoivatilat Oyj launches a directed offering of preliminarily up to 3.5
million new shares



Suomen Hoivatilat Oyj ("Hoivatilat" or the "Company") announces its intention to
issue preliminarily up to 3.5 million new shares (the "Offer Shares") in an
offering directed to a selected group of Finnish and international institutional
investors (the "Offering").

The Offering will be carried out and the number of Offer Shares will be decided,
subject to certain conditions, based on offers received in an accelerated
bookbuilding. The Offering will be carried out based on the authorisation given
by Hoivatilat's annual general meeting to the board of directors on 23 February
2017. The final number of Offer Shares issued in the Offering may be higher than
the planned preliminary maximum number of Offer Shares. Skandinaviska Enskilda
Banken ("SEB") is acting as the Sole Bookrunner of the Offering.

Hoivatilat and SEB will after the bookbuilding agree on the number of Offer
Shares and their subscription price based on the offers given in the accelerated
bookbuilding. The result of the Offering will be published in a stock exchange
release as soon as practicably possible after the completion of the
bookbuilding.

The Offer Shares to be issued in the Offering are new Hoivatilat shares that are
equivalent to the existing share class of Hoivatilat. Subject to the completion
of the Offering, the Offer Shares issued in the Offering will be registered in
the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office on
or about 28 March 2017 with the same class as the other shares of the Company.
The ISIN code of the shares (including the Offer Shares) is FI4000148648. The
Offer Shares are expected to be ready for delivery to the investors against
payment through Euroclear Finland Ltd on or about 29 March 2017.

Hoivatilat intends to make as soon as practicably possible after the completion
of the Offering an application for the admission into trading of the Offer
Shares on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (the "Helsinki Stock
Exchange"). The Offer Shares will be admitted to trading on the official list of
the Helsinki Stock Exchange together with the Company's existing shares on or
about 29 March 2017 under the trading symbol HOIVA, provided that the Offering
is completed, the Helsinki Stock Exchange approves the listing application in
respect of the Offer Shares and that the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority
approves a listing prospectus in respect of the Offer Shares. Hoivatilat intends
to publish a listing prospectus in respect of the Offer Shares prior to the
Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the official list of the Helsinki
Stock Exchange.



Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds of the Offering


The Company has 34 agreements concerning properties that are in the construction
phase or that have not yet been started, corresponding to 32,451 square meters
of lettable area, as well as agreements for the purchase of two completed
properties, corresponding to 1,010 square meters of lettable area. The need for
additional financing based on such agreements was in total EUR 20.5 million
prior to the Offering.

The proceeds of the Offering are primarily intended to be used for the financing
of the Company's above-mentioned property development projects that are in the
construction phase or have not yet been started and the purchase of the said
completed properties. The Company intends to use approximately EUR 10 million of
the net proceeds sought from the Offering towards the equity financing of the
existing projects and EUR 3.3 million towards the repayment of the Company's
fixed-term credit limit. The remainder of the net proceeds sought from the
Offering are primarily intended to be used towards financing such projects in
respect of which agreements are made during the years 2017-2018. The net
proceeds of the Offering may also be used for financing the purchase of such
completed day care and nursing properties and the acquisition of such companies
that meet the Company's investment criteria. In addition, any possible excess
net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used towards the Company's
general corporate purposes.

In addition to the proceeds of the Offering, the Company continuously uses debt
financing for the completion of its properties. Provided that such debt
financing is available to the Company on competitive terms, the Company seeks to
have the loan drawn down by the relevant property company.



Advisors

Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken is acting as the Sole Bookrunner of the Offering.

Offering. Roschier Attorneys Ltd is acting as legal advisor to the Sole
