("Trema"),  Atomico Invest II  Limited ("Atomico") and  Silavano Investments S.à

on  the completion of the initial public offering of Rovio (the "Offering"). The
final  price per Offer Share (as defined below) in the Offering is EUR 11.50 per
Offer  Share, corresponding to a market capitalization of Rovio of approximately
EUR  896 million immediately following the Offering.  Demand in the Offering was
very  strong and the Offering was  multiple times oversubscribed. Trading in the
shares  in the Company  (the "Shares") is  expected to start  on the pre-list of
Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd ("Nasdaq Helsinki") on or about September 29, 2017.

Rovio  will issue  2,608,696 new shares  in the  Company (the "New Shares") (the
"Share  Issue"), corresponding to approximately  3.3 percent of the total number
of  outstanding Shares  after the  Offering. In  addition, Principal Sellers and
certain  other shareholders of the Company (together with Principal Sellers, the
"Sellers")  will sell 34,314,389 existing Shares (the "Sale Shares") (the "Share

and  the Additional Shares (as defined below) are together referred to herein as

3,050,452 Offer  Shares will be allocated to private individuals and entities in
Finland,  Sweden and Denmark (the "Public Offering") and 39,410,633 Offer Shares
will  be allocated in  private placements to  institutional investors in Finland
and  internationally (the  "Institutional Offering"),  assuming full exercise of
the  Over-allotment  Option  (as  defined  below). The Offering drew significant
interest  from  Finnish  and  international  investors,  and  was multiple times
oversubscribed.  For investors in  Finland, Sweden and  Denmark, the commitments
given in the Public Offering will be accepted in full for up to 100 Offer Shares
and  approximately 50.0 percent  of the  subscription commitments exceeding this
amount.  The commitments of the personnel of  Rovio will be accepted in full for
up  to  1,000 Offer  Shares  and  approximately 50.0 percent of the subscription
commitments exceeding this amount.

The Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately EUR 30 million from the
Offering  and the Sellers will receive  gross proceeds of approximately EUR 458
million assuming full exercise of the Over-allotment Option. The total number of
outstanding  Shares  will  increase  to  77,921,494 Shares  after the New Shares
offered in the Offering are registered in the Finnish Trade Register on or about
September  29, 2017. The number of shareholders after the Offering will increase
to more than 11,000 shareholders.

The  shares subscribed for in the Public Offering are expected to be recorded in
the  book-entry accounts of investors who  made approved commitments on or about

to  be  delivered  against  payment  through  Euroclear  Finland Ltd on or about

A  confirmation letter regarding the approval  of the commitments and allocation
of  the Offer Shares  will be sent  as soon as  possible and on or about October
13, 2017 at the latest, to all investors who have submitted their commitments in
the  Public Offering.  Investors at  Nordnet Bank  will see their commitments as
well  as allocation of  Offer Shares on  the transaction page  of Nordnet Bank's
online service. Any excess payments made in connection with the commitments will
be  refunded to investors' bank accounts  approximately on the fifth banking day
after  the pricing (i.e.,  on or about  October 5, 2017). If the investor's bank
account is in a different financial institution than the subscription place, the
refund  will be paid into a Finnish  bank account in accordance with the payment
schedule  of the financial institutions, approximately no later than two banking
days  thereafter. If the subscription place is Nordnet Bank, the refunded amount
will only be paid to Nordnet cash account.

The  Stabilizing Manager may, to the  extent permitted by applicable law, within
30 days  from commencement of trading in the Shares on Nasdaq Helsinki (which is

"We  are extremely happy  and proud of  the great interest  towards Rovio's IPO,
both  by Finnish  and international  investors. I  would like  to thank  all who
participated in the IPO for their trust towards our company.

Rovio  is a  global games-first  entertainment company  that is today bigger and
stronger than ever. The mobile gaming market is expected to grow fast and we are
well positioned to take an advantage of this growth. The listing is an important
step  in  developing  Rovio  into  an  even  stronger  games-first entertainment
company."

Chairman of the Board Mika Ihamuotila:

"In  the IPO, Rovio received gross proceeds of approximately EUR 30 million that
will  be  used  to  support  Rovio's  growth  strategy. We also believe that the
listing  will  strengthen  Rovio's  brand  recognition and brand awareness among
customers,  prospective employees, investors  and the gaming  sector in general,
and thus enhances Rovio's competiveness.

Rovio's  IPO was multiple  times oversubscribed and  we received over 11,000 new
shareholders.  I want to  wish all these  shareholders welcome to participate in
Rovio's success."
