Approximately 5,360 investors participated in the offering. 

In addition, the joint global coordinators of the offering have also committed
to procure purchasers for all the approximately 154,000 shares that were not
subscribed for based on the subscription rights. The joint global coordinators
shall pay the net proceeds of any such sale (proceeds from the sale of any
remaining offer shares less the subscription price of 6.30 euros per share, the
fees of the joint global coordinators, any transfer tax and other costs) to the
holders of the unexercised rights that had entitled the holders thereof to
subscribe for such remaining offer shares. It is expected that the net proceeds
will be paid on or about 4 January 2008. 

The Board of Directors of Finnair has today approved all the subscriptions. The
gross proceeds raised by Finnair in the offering were approximately 248.1
million euros prior to deduction of fees and expenses. As a result of the
offering, the total number of Finnair's shares will increase to 128,136,115.
The shares subscribed for will entitle their holders to full dividends declared
by Finnair and all other rights in the company conferred by the shares after
the shares have been registered with the Trade Register. 


The interim shares, representing the shares subscribed for in the offering,
commenced trading on 18 December 2007 on the Helsinki Stock Exchange. The
shares subscribed in the offering will be registered with the Finnish Trade
Register and the interim shares will be combined with Finnair's existing shares
on 28 December 2007.
