that will be held on Monday, December 1, 2008 at 5.00 p.m. at Rocla Oyj's Head  
Office (address: Jampankatu 2, 04440 Järvenpää).                                


MEETING AGENDA                                                                  


1. Presentation of the public tender offer made by Mitsubishi Caterpillar       
Forklift Europe B.V. (”MCFE”).                                                  

The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders accept the public tender
offer made by MCFE and acquaint themselves with the documents relating to the   
offer.                                                                          
2. The removal of paragraph 12 (redemption obligation) from the Articles of     
Association.                                                                    

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting of shareholders decides
upon the removal of paragraph 12 (redemption obligation) from the Articles of   
Association of the Company. The removal of the paragraph 12 concerning the      
redemption obligation would be conditional upon the completion of MCFE's public 
tender offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the public tender   
offer. The reason for the removal of paragraph 12 is the combination agreement  
by and between Rocla and MCFE, in which the conditional removal of the          
redemption clause has been agreed upon.                                         


THE DOCUMENTS CONCERNING THE PUBLIC TENDER OFFER

will be available to the shareholders in the Company's website.
