Uponor Corporation        Stock exchange release        18 Dec 2015  8.00EET

Uponor, Inc.’s class action settlements became final after court rulings in the
U.S. 

On 10 June 2015, Uponor Corporation announced that its U.S. operative
subsidiary company, Uponor, Inc., together with its insurers and some of its
key trade partners was involved in settlement negotiations in two U.S. class
action suits. They involved alleged failure risks of Uponor yellow brass
fittings sold in the USA. Court approvals of the final settlement terms have
now been granted in the form of two separate Class Action Settlements, one of
which involves Clark County, Nevada and the other the rest of the USA. The
settlements were essentially approved by the court in the form that was
originally proposed by the parties, thus making them final and binding on all
parties. 

According to the terms of the settlements, Uponor, Inc. will provide building
owners with an enhanced warranty to cover potential fitting failures. Uponor
continues to have a high level of confidence in the long-term performance of
these products, since they have an excellent track record. 

Uponor, Inc.’s obligations under the terms of the settlements will have no
material financial impact on the 2015 consolidated results of Uponor
Corporation.
