Positive profit warning: Aktia plc updates outlook for 2010                     


Aktia Group's operating profit for the full year 2010 is expected to exceed the 
result for 2009. In prognoses published earlier, the full year operating profit 
was expected to be at the same level as in 2009. Operating profit for 2009      
amounted to EUR 47.0 million.                                                   

Following a robust first quarter, also the outcome for the period April - May   
2010 has been strong, thus the estimate for the full year 2010 has been revised 
upwards.                                                                        

The operating profit has improved mainly due to better than expected net        
interest income, reduced costs and lower write-downs of credits.                

The main risk factor is still the unrest on the financial market. The fund at   
fair value, reporting unrealised value changes, remains higher than its level at
the turn of the year. On 21 June 2010, the fund at fair value amounted to EUR   
50.0 million (EUR 43 million at 31 December 2009).
