NASDAQ OMX Helsinki has given a warning to Outokumpu Oyj due to a breach of
rules related to disclosure requirements in connection with the announcement of
the Inoxum acquisition on 31 January 2012. 

Taking especially into account the size, complexity and significance of the
acquisition, Outokumpu made all efforts to provide as timely, comprehensive and
accurate information as possible. However, the complexity of the transaction
unfortunately led to discrepancy in communication timeline between the parties
of the transaction. 

In the future, Outokumpu intends to further enhance its communications
processes to avoid similar situations.
