EXEL COMPOSITES PLC       STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE  2 NOVEMBER 2016 at 15.30 EET


Exel Composites Plc: Flagging notification in accordance with the Finnish
Securities Market Act Chapter 9 Section 5 regarding change in shareholdings 

Exel Composites Plc has on 2 November 2016 received a disclosure under Chapter
9, Section 5 of the Finnish Securities Markets Act, according to which the
direct holding of SEB Investment Management AB exceeds 5% of the voting rights
and share capital in Exel Composites Plc. 

According to the notification, on 2 November SEB’s fund company in Luxembourg
turns into a branch of SEB’s Swedish fund company, SEB Investment Management
AB. This means holdings that were previously disclosed to financial supervisory
authorities separately for each fund company, will hereinafter be disclosed
solely by SEB Investment Management AB. Due to the new branch structure, more
disclosures than usual will occur in the beginning of November, when the
holdings are added together. Thus, it is a consequence of the new branch
structure, and not the result of active investment decisions. 

On 2 November 2016 the total holding of SEB Investment Management AB amounts to
1,020,300 shares representing 8.58% of the shares and voting rights of Exel
Composites. 

Exel Composites has a total of 11,896,843 shares. There is only one class of
shares, each share entitling one vote.
