Lehto Group Plc: Significant shareholders announce their intention to offer
shares in Lehto to institutional investors

Lehto Group Plc (the "Company" or "Lehto") has been informed that shareholders
(the "Shareholders), who have on 24 April 2017 announced that they are exploring
options for reducing their ownership in Lehto, intend to sell up to 4,971,845
shares in the Company, (the "Shares") corresponding to approximately 8.5 per
cent of all the outstanding shares of the Company (the "Share Sale").

The Shareholders' ownership in the Company represents 69.7 per cent of the
outstanding shares in the Company, and the Shares to be sold in the Share Sale
represent approximately 12.2 per cent of the shares that the Shareholders own in
total in the Company. The Company's CEO Hannu Lehto has notified that he would
sell up to 0.5 per cent of the Company's shares owned by him through Lehto
Invest Oy, i.e. up to 100,000 shares. The Shareholders will decide the final
number of the Shares to be sold based on investor demand.

The Share Sale will be based on an accelerated book-building process, in which
selected institutional investors may submit bids for the shares offered. The
price of the Shares offered will be determined by the bids received in the
accelerated book-building process. The book-building process will commence
immediately and will end by 9.00 a.m. EEST on 1 June 2017 at the latest.
Receiving the bids may however be discontinued at any time during the book-
building process. The result of the Share Sale will be published on or about 1
June 2017.

OP Corporate Bank plc ("OP") and Pareto Securities ("Pareto") are acting as
Joint Bookrunners in the Share Sale.
