ANNOUNCEMENT OF CONVEYANCE OF OWN SHARES

Raisio plc's Board of Directors decided in May 2008 to set up a three-year
share-based incentive scheme as a part of the incentive and reward system
offered to Raisio's key personnel. The goal is to integrate the targets of
shareholders and key employees in order to increase the company's market
capitalisation, to enhance the key employees' commitment to the company and to
offer them a competitive reward system based on share ownership. Rewards are
paid as a combination of shares and cash. Cash payments are to cover the taxes
and fiscal fees arising from share-based rewards. 

On 5 August 2009, following a decision by Raisio plc's Board of Directors,
334,500 free shares owned by the company have been conveyed (other conveyance)
to the 13 persons involved in the scheme as a reward for the scheme's first
earnings period (financial year 2008). The assignment value is EUR 2.083 per
share and EUR 696,763.50 in total. 

Taking into account the above-specified conveyance, the company holds a total
of 201,295 restricted shares (RAIKV) and 8,813,551 free shares (RAIVV).
