SCANFIL INTENDS TO OFFER UP TO 5,715,000 NEW SHARES TO INSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER
SELECTED INVESTORS IN AN ACCELERATED BOOK-BUILT OFFERING 

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR
INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN. 

Scanfil plc ("Scanfil" or the "Company") intends to offer up to 5,715,000 new
shares in the Company (the "Shares") to institutional and other selected
investors in an accelerated book-built offering deviating from the shareholders
pre-emptive subscription rights (the "Offering"). The Shares correspond up to
approximately 9.99 per cent of all the shares and voting rights in the Company
immediately prior to the Offering. The final number of Shares offered and the
price at which the Shares are to be offered will be decided by the Board of
Directors of the Company at the close of the book-building process. The
authorisation of the Board of Directors to issue the Shares on a
non-pre-emptive basis was granted by the Annual General Meeting of Scanfil on 8
April 2015. The Offering is intended to increase Scanfil’s financial
flexibility and to widen its ownership base. 

The Offering is being conducted, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, as an accelerated book-building process carried out by Nordea Bank
Finland Plc ("Nordea") to institutional and other selected investors. The
book-building will commence immediately and is expected to end no later than
before 10:00 AM on 15 March 2016. The book-building process may, however, be
closed at any time during the book-building period. The number of the Shares to
be issued and the pricing information will be announced as soon as practicable
after the close of the book-building process. Delivery of the Shares is
expected to take place on the second business day after the announcement of the
pricing information of the Offering. 

The Shares will entitle their holders to shareholder rights, including the
right to receive full dividends declared by the Company, if any, after the
Shares have been registered with the Finnish Trade Register, expected to take
place on or about 15 March 2016. The Company will make an application for the
listing of the Shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. (“Nasdaq Helsinki”). Public
trading in the Shares on Nasdaq Helsinki is expected to commence on or about 16
March 2016. 

In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into a lock-up
undertaking under which it has, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to
issue and/or sell any shares in Scanfil for a period ending 180 days after the
closing of the Offering. 

The Offering will be managed by Nordea as the Lead Manager and the Sole
Bookrunner.
