The company may acquire maximum of 586 039 series B shares directly from other shareholders than the largest shareholder by entering into a contractual trade, provided that the number of class B shares to be acquired via contractual trade is at least 15,000; 2. The consideration to be paid for the shares corresponds to the prevailing market price in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki at the time of the acquisition; 3. The sales offer must be given to Neomarkka on 31 December 2009 at the latest; and 4. The shares acquired will be paid by the rules and regulations of stock exchange transaction. Since Neomarkka's announcement on 16 November 2009 to start acquiring its own shares the company has managed to acquire only small amounts of its own shares through NASDAQ OMX's Guidelines for Acquisition of Own Shares due to minor liquidity of Neomarkka's series B share on the stock market. Therefore, the company has strong economical reason to depart from the equal treatment of the shareholders by entering into contractual trade. Neomarkka Plc's Board of Directors decided to continue the company's repurchase programme according the press release given on the issue on 16 November 2009. The company has so far acquired 2 037 series B shares on the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting on 10 June 2009. Neomarkka Plc Markku E.
