NEOMARKKA PLC	STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE	16.11.2009 at 2.30 p.m.                    


NEOMARKKA TO START ACQUIRING ITS OWN SHARES                                     

Neomarkka Plc's Board of Directors has decided to exercise the authorization it 
was given by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 10 June 2009 to      
acquire the Company's own series B shares. Under the authorization given by the 
AGM a maximum of 588,067 Company's own series B shares may be acquired.         

The shares will be acquired in public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in
accordance with its rules, and the consideration to be paid for the shares to be
acquired must be based on market price. The company may acquire B class shares  
directly from other shareholders than the biggest 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 and that the consideration to be paid for  
the shares corresponds to the prevailing market price in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki at 
the time of the acquisition.                                                    

Neomarkka Plc's Board of Directors decided to deviate from the procedures       
referred to in Clauses 3.2.1. and 3.2.2. of the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd's       
guidelines 3.2.5. related to own shares of the listed companies, because of the 
minor trading volume of the company's shares. The training volume on certain    
trading day may lead to that the acquisition of own shares of the company can be
more than 50 percent of the average trading volume of that trading day. The     
acquisition of own shares shall be effected in a way that no exceptional market 
movements result from such trading and on that trading day the amount of the    
shares cannot exceed 5 percent of the maximum amount of the share acquisition in
accordance with the decisions of the company.                                   

The shares are acquired to be used in order to carry out acquisitions or other  
arrangements within the scope of the company's business operations, to improve  
the company's capital structure, as part of implementing the company's incentive
scheme, or to be further transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled.
