These cuts concern 37 fixed-term employees. Agreement concerning pension        
arrangements has been reached with 36 people. At Kuopio production plant, 42    
people will be laid off. In addition to these measures, 42 people from Nurmo,   
Seinäjoki, Helsinki, Forssa, Kuopio and Tampere sites will be made redundant.   
The personnel reductions will affect all personnel groups.

plants.
