RAISIO'S CONVERTED SHARES

The Board of Directors of Raisio plc has decided in its meeting held on 29
September 2016 to convert a total of 12,350 restricted shares (series K) into
free shares (series V). The decision has been entered in the Trade Register
today, on 13 October 2016. The additional lot of free shares in question is
admitted to trading on the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd as of 14 October 2016. 

Since the beginning of 2016, a total of 57,326 restricted shares of the company
have been converted into free shares. The number of issued free shares is now
132,465,939 while the number of restricted shares is 32,683,091. The share
capital entitles to 786,127,759 votes. 

Since the conversion occurs between the two share classes, it does not affect
the company’s registered share capital, which remains unaltered at EUR
27,776,072 and is divided into 165,149,030 shares. 

The converted free shares have equal rights with the free shares issued earlier
entitling to the right to the next succeeding profit to be shared as well as to
other shareholder rights as of today.
