Board of Directors' proposal for dividend: 0.80 euro for both Series K and      
Series A shares.                                                                ”Olvi Group's performance in 2009 was strong. Our profitability improved        
substantially in Finland, while the Group companies in the Baltic states showed 
only a slight decline on the previous year in spite of the difficult economic   
situation in those countries. OAO Lidskoe Pivo operating in Belarus enhanced    
Olvi Group's profit-making ability by providing a good platform for growth and  
consumer potential. Our overall market position remained strong,” says Lasse    
Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc.

The Group's net sales in 2009 totalled 244.2 (222.1) million euro. This

substantially. The parent company Olvi plc posted an operating profit of 9.6

million euro.                                                                   

October to December 2009                                                        

Olvi Group's sales from October to December amounted to 93 (78) million litres. 
In the fourth quarter, sales increased by 15 million litres or 19.8 percent.    
The sales volume of the Belarusian OAO Lidskoe Pivo was 18 million litres. Sales
in Finland remained on a par with the previous year at 31 million litres, while

or 56.5 percengt. OAO Lidskoe Pivo's operating profit was 1.6 million euro. OAO 
Lidskoe Pivo's fourth-quarter earnings include non-recurring income of          
approximately 2.2 million euro attributable to the recognition of a prescribed  
debt.                            

PARENT COMPANY OLVI PLC                                                         

January to December 2009                                                        

The parent company Olvi plc's sales volume in 2009 was 130 (138) million litres.
The sales volume declined by 8 million litres or 6.1 percent on the previous    
year. The decline was mainly attributable to the first quarter of 2009.         

According to statistics by the Finnish Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks
Industry, the Finnish beverage market declined by an approximate total of one   
percent in 2009 compared to the previous year. The sales of long drinks         
increased, while beers and soft drinks remained on a par with the previous year.
A clear decline year-on-year was seen in ciders and mineral waters. However, the
Federation's statistics do not provide comprehensive data on the overall Finnish
beverage market because they only include the largest companies and do not show 
imports at all.                                                                 

Among Olvi plc's product groups, the greatest proportional growth was seen in   
the sales of long drinks. Olvi plc's new product groups, juices and spring      
waters, have received a warm welcome in the market but a decline was seen in    
sales of soft drinks. Sales of mineral waters and ciders also declined slightly.

According to statistics by the Finnish Federation of the Brewing and Soft Drinks
Industry, Olvi plc's overall market position in beers remained strong, while the
position in long drinks and ciders improved further. Olvi plc's overall market  
share in the alcoholic product groups: beers, ciders and long drinks, was 20    
(20) percent.                                                                   

The parent company's exports and tax-free sales have improved well during 2009. 
The year-on-year increase was 41.4 percent. Exports accounted for 4 percent of  
total sales.                                     

The parent company's net sales in 2009 totalled 104.5 (106.3) million euro. Net 
sales declined by 1.8 million euro or 1.7 percent compared to the previous year.
The decline was mainly attributable to the first quarter of 2009.               

Olvi plc's operating profit in 2009 improved clearly. The operating profit stood
at 9.6 (4.3) million euro, which was 9.2 (4.0) percent of net sales. The        
operating profit increased by 5.3 million euro compared to the previous year.   

The profitability improvement was made possible by increased production         
capacity, canning capacity in particular, decreased costs of production and     
logistics, the elimination of costs arising from two overlapping packaging      
systems that burdened earnings in the previous year, improved efficiency of     
operations and successful new products in the profitable long drink and soft    
drink segments.                                                                 

October to December 2009                                                        

Olvi plc's sales volume in October-December 2009 was on a par with the previous 
year at 31 (31) million litres. The parent company's net sales from October to  
December declined by 4.4 percent to 24.6 (25.8) million euro. Operating profit  
in the fourth quarter improved clearly on the previous year to 1.0 (-0.4)       
million euro, which is 4.0 (-1.7) percent of net sales. The operating profit    
improvement was 1.4 million euro and included 0.4 million euro of inventory     
write-downs on discontinued packaging.                                          

AS A. LE COQ                                                                    

January to December 2009                                                        

The total sales of the Estonian subsidiary AS A. Le Coq in 2009 amounted to 113 
(125) million litres. The sales declined by 12 million litres or 9.4 percent,   
most of which was intra-Group freighted work. In January-December, AS A. Le     
Coq's freighted work for other Group companies declined by 8 million litres on  
the previous year due to additional capacity acquired for Group companies in the
other Baltic states.                                                            

Among the main product groups, the sales of soft drinks and ciders increased in 
2009, while the sales of mineral waters and long drinks declined. The sales of  
beers were on a par with the previous year.                                     

AS A. Le Coq's market share in beers remained strong in 2009 at approximately 40
percent. The company's share of the long drink market was 60 percent, and of the
cider market 53 percent. In spite of a slight decline in the sales of juices in 
2009, the company's market share in juices improved to approximately 27.5       
percent.                                                                        

The company's exports and tax-free sales increased strongly in 2009 by more than
2.5 million litres. Exports and tax-free sales represent approximately 3 percent
of the total volume.                                                            

The company's net sales in 2009 amounted to 65.2 (72.0) million euro,           
representing a decline of 6.8 million euro or 9.4 percent. The decline in net   
sales was due to the decline in sales volume.                                   

The operating profit for 2009 stood at 10.2 (11.6) million euro, which was 15.6 
(16.1) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 1.5 million euro  
or 12.6 percent compared to the previous year. The decline in profitability was 
due to declined sales volume, which in turn was due to a clear decline of the   
overall market. Relative profitability remained on a healthy level.             

October to December 2009                                                        

AS A. Le Coq's sales in October-December amounted to 24 (26) million litres.    
Sales declined by 2 million litres or 5.9 percent compared to the previous year.

Net sales stood at 13.6 (15.3) million euro, a decline of 1.7 million euro or   
10.9 percent on the previous year. As the overall market diminished and the     
focus of consumption shifted to less expensive products, the average sales price
declined in the fourth quarter. Due to this, the proportional decline in net    
sales was greater than the decline in sales volume.                             

The company's operating profit stood at 1.3 (1.9) million euro or 9.5 (12.4)    
percent of net sales, a decline of 0.6 million euro or 31.6 percent on the      
previous year.  Profitability declined because the company was unable to achieve
sufficient cost savings to compensate for loss of income due to the downturn in 
average price.                                                                  

A/S CESU ALUS                                                                   

January to December 2009                                                        

The sales of the Latvian subsidiary A/S Cesu Alus in 2009 remained on a par with
the previous year at 59 million litres in spite of the deep economic recession  
in Latvia. The sales of beer and soft drinks continued to increase, while other 
product groups declined in line with the diminishing total market. However,     
during this year, Fizz cider has become the best-selling cider in Latvia        
(source: Nielsen). AS Cesu Alus has a market share of 45 percent in ciders,     
approximately 33 percent in beers and 41 percent in long drinks.                

A/S Cesu Alus's sales to other Olvi Group companies have increased by 2 million 
litres or 57.6 percent on the previous year thanks to the additional capacity   
created through substantial investments.                                        

A/S Cesu Alus's net sales in 2009 totalled 30.0 (31.4) million euro, a change of
-1.4 million euro or 4.2 percent on the previous year. The decline in net sales 
was due to a downturn in the average price of domestic sales, which in turn was 
due to a decline in the consumption of more expensive alcoholic products, ciders
and long drinks, as well as an alcohol excise tax hike that could not be fully  
included in prices.                                                             

The operating profit for 2009 stood at 1.0 (1.3) million euro, which was 3.4    
(4.1) percent of net sales. The operating profit declined by 0.3 million euro or
20.4 percent compared to the previous year. The operating profit includes 0.4   
million euro of non-recurring costs attributable to the package inventory.      

October to December 2009                                                        

A/S Cesu Alus's sales in the fourth quarter were on a par with the previous year
at 12 (12) million litres.                                                      

The company's net sales amounted to 5.2 (6.2) million euro. Net sales declined  
by 1.0 million euro or 15.3 percent on the previous year. The focus of beer     
consumption shifted to less expensive products, and the total market of ciders  
and long drinks diminished clearly.                                             

A/S Cesu Alus's operating result from October to December was on a par with the 
previous year at -0.2 (-0.2) million euro.                                      


AB RAGUTIS                                                                      

January to December 2009                                                        

The sales of the Lithuanian subsidiary AB Ragutis increased to 52 (44) million  
litres in 2009. This represents an increase of 8 million litres or 17.4 percent 
on the previous year. The sales increase was attributable to beer, and          
particularly the new product group kvass. Sales of ciders and long drinks       
declined in line with the diminishing total market.                             

AB Ragutis has a total market share of approximately 10 percent in beers,       
approximately 33 percent in ciders and approximately 38 percent in long drinks. 
AB Ragutis is the clear market leader in kvass with a market share exceeding 30 
percent.                                                                        

AB Ragutis's increased production capacity allowed for an increase in freighted 
work for other Olvi Group companies. Freighted work increased by 3 million      
litres in 2009.                                                                 

The company's net sales in 2009 amounted to 24.6 (23.8) million euro,           
representing an increase of 0.8 million euro or 3.4 percent. The increase in AB 
Ragutis's net sales was clearly more modest than the growth in sales volume     
because the share of more expensive alcoholic products, ciders and long drinks, 
declined in relation to total net sales.                                        
AB Ragutis's operating profit improved clearly in 2009 compared to the previous 
year. The operating profit stood at 0.9 (0.0) million euro, which was 3.7 (0.1) 
percent of net sales. The operating profit improved by 0.9 million euro on the  
previous year. This was made possible by good sales development, improved       
production efficiency and cost cuts.                                            

October to December 2009                                                        

AB Ragutis's sales in the fourth quarter were on a par with the previous year at
11 (11) million litres. The company's net sales in October-December amounted to 
4.9 (5.6) million euro, representing a decline of 0.7 million euro or 11.6      
percent on the previous year. The decline in net sales in the fourth quarter of 
2009 was due to a clear downturn in the average sales price.                    

The company's fourth-quarter operating result was -0.5 (-0.2) million euro. The 
operating profit declined by 0.3 million euro. The company was unable to adapt  
its fixed costs to the loss of income arising from the decline in average price.

OAO LIDSKOE PIVO                             

January to December 2009                                                        

The sales of OAO Lidskoe Pivo operating in Belarus amounted to 87 million litres
in 2009. The sales of kvass, waters and juices increased. The sales of beer were
on a par with the previous year, while the sales of long drinks and soft drinks 
declined.  OAO Lidskoe Pivo's sales to other Olvi Group companies amounted to   
1.7 million litres. Lack of capacity limited any greater increase in beer sales 
during the peak season.                                                         

The brewery is the Belarusian market leader in kvass with a market share of 56  
percent. OAO Lidskoe Pivo has a market share of approximately 10 percent in     
beers, approximately 22 percent in long drinks, 5 percent in soft drinks and 2  
percent in waters.                                                              

The company's net sales stood at 30.3 million euro, while the operating profit  
for 2009 was 5.8 million euro or 19.1 percent of net sales. The operating profit
includes non-recurring income of 3.2 million euro due to the recognition of     
prescribed debts. Even without non-recurring items, the company's earnings in   
2009 were good, taking into account that the mean exchange rate between the     
Belarusian rouble and the euro has devaluated by approximately 24.4 percent     
compared to the 2008 level.                                                     

OAO Lidskoe Pivo has deposits denominated in United States dollars, which       
generated a total of 2.1 million euro in foreign exchange gains and interest    
income. The company's profit before taxes was 7.6 million euro, and after-tax   
profit for the period was 5.8 million euro.                                     

Factors contributing to the favourable development of business in Belarus       
include the successful takeover of OAO Lidskoe Pivo, good new product           
introductions, successful sales in the summer season, as well as improved       
production efficiency and reliability. The company has initiated substantial    
investments to boost production capacity, increase the level of automation,     
secure the standard of quality and develop the organisation.                    

OAO Lidskoe Pivo's income statement has been consolidated with Olvi Group as of 
the beginning of 2009. The company's balance sheet was consolidated at the end  
of fiscal 2008.                                                                 

October to December 2009                                                        

OAO Lidskoe Pivo's sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 amounted to 18 million   
litres, with net sales at 5.5 million euro. Operating profit in October-December
stood at 1.6 million euro or 28.6 percent of net sales. The operating profit    
includes non-recurring income of approximately 2.2 million euro due to the      
recognition of prescribed debts.                                                

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS                                                       

Olvi Group's balance sheet total at the end of December 2009 was 237.2 (244.2)  
million euro. Equity per share stood at 10.56 (9.07) euro, an increase of 1.49  
euro per share. The equity ratio of 47.3 (43.3) percent improved clearly on the 
previous year. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities was 62.3 (82.2)       
million euro, including current liabilities of 26.2 (39.8) million euro.        

Olvi Group's gross capital expenditure in 2009 amounted to 48.4 (43.6) million  
euro. The parent company Olvi plc accounted for 33.5 million euro and the       
subsidiaries in the Baltic states for 6.6 million euro of the total. OAO Lidskoe
Pivo's gross capital expenditure in 2009 was 8.3 million euro. The parent       
company Olvi plc's investments include shares in subsidiaries for 9.1 million   
euro, acquired through the takeover of minority holdings in OAO Lidskoe Pivo and
A/S Cesu Alus, as well as an increase in A/S Cesu Alus's share capital for 20.0
million euro.                                                                   

The largest production investments in 2009 included the extension and           
development of Olvi plc's pressure and fermentation tank cellar in Finland,     
while the Baltic states saw the acquisition of a bottle washing machine for AS  
A. Le Coq, an extension to the pressure tank cellar at A/S Cesu Alus, as well as
additional cooling capacity at AB Ragutis and A/S Cesu Alus. OAO Lidskoe Pivo's 
largest investments in 2009 included the introduction of HGB equipment,         
modernisation of the juicing facility and a new electrical substation.          

SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE SCHEMES                                                   

Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on 26 January 2006 on a share-based       
incentive scheme for Olvi Group's key personnel. A more detailed description of 
the scheme is included in the tables section of the financial statements        
bulletin, in Appendix 5, Note 5.                                                

TREASURY SHARES                                                                 

Treasury shares held by Olvi plc are reported in the tables section of the      
financial statements bulletin, in Appendix 5, Note 6.                           

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT                                                             

Research and development includes projects to design and develop new products,  
packages, processes and production methods, as well as further development of   
existing products and packages. The R&D costs have been recognised as expenses. 

NEW PRODUCTS                                                                    

Several new products were launched in non-alcoholic product groups in January   
2010. The TEHO energy drink was introduced in 0.95-litre recyclable plastic     
deposit bottles. No similar packaging alternative has been previously available 
in Finland, and the new product is expected to be a success as energy drinks are
becoming even more popular. In mineral waters, KevytOlo Pomelo-Mango was        
launched in 1.5-litre recyclable plastic deposit bottles. The range of KevytOlo 
well-being beverages was expanded with a relaxing variant that contains green   
tea, lemon balm and camomile. The product is sold in 0.5-litre recyclable       
plastic deposit bottles. In soft drinks, the range of 0.95-litre recyclable     
plastic deposit bottles saw the introduction of the Citrus product. The product 
contains fructose but no artificial sweeteners, while its calorie count is still
some 30% lower than that of conventional soft drinks.                           

Subsidiaries                                                                    

The Estonian A. Le Coq launched its most popular beer A. Le Coq Premium in      
pint-size cans (0.568 L) for Christmas. Christmas was also the launch time for  
the new beer A. Le Coq Vürtsporter 6% in 0.5-litre bottles. The product is a    
porter flavoured with Christmas spices (cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg), and was 
available during the Christmas season. After the turn of the year, Aura         
Pomegranate Juice Drink was launched in one-litre TetraPak. The drink contains  
pomegranate, apple, grape and chokeberry. Pomegranate is a so-called super fruit
with inherent functional properties. Aura is the market leader in the Estonian  
juice market.                                                                   

The Latvian A/S Cesu Alus launched Cesu Porter 6.2% beer in stylish 0.5-litre   
shaped glass bottles. The Garais beer brand was expanded with Garas Dzintara 7% 
in 1.5-litre plastic bottles. In long drinks, the Christmas product Cesu Dzons  
WinterPunch 4th Edition 5% was launched in 1.5-litre plastic bottles. In        
February 2010, A/S Cesu Alus launched the Dynamit + Juice energy drink          
previously introduced in Estonia.                                               

The Lithuanian AB Ragutis did not launch any new products in Q4 in addition to  
those listed in the Q3 interim report.                                          

The Belarusian OAO Lidskoe Pivo launched a new beer Lidskoe Porter 6.2% in      
December in 0.5-litre glass bottles. The kvass Lidskiy Christmas was introduced 
as a seasonal product for Christmas in both 0.75-litre and 1.5-litre plastic    
bottles. The product is a Christmas kvass flavoured with sweet briar. February  
2010 saw the introduction of the unfiltered wheat beer Lidskoe White, which is a
5.1% beer sold in 0.5-litre glass bottles and 0.75-litre plastic bottles.       

PERSONNEL                                                                       

Olvi Group's average number of personnel in 2009 was 2,076 (1,256), 377 (431) of
them in Finland, 337 (388) in Estonia, 206 (231) in Latvia, 195 (206) in        
Lithuania and 961 in Belarus. The Group's average number of personnel increased 
by 820 employees or 65.3 percent on the previous year due to OAO Lidskoe Pivo's 
consolidation with Olvi Group. The number of personnel in Finland and the Baltic
states declined by 141 people on the previous year. The total number of         
personnel at the end of 2009 was 1,997 (2,069).                                 

CHANGES IN CORPORATE STRUCTURE                                                  
In 2009, Olvi Group increased its holding in the Belarusian brewery OAO Lidskoe 
Pivo by 36.84 percentage points through acquiring a total of 27,847 shares from 
the company's personnel. Olvi plc's holding in OAO Lidskoe Pivo at the end of   
December 2009 was 87.84 percent.                                                
During 2009, Olvi Group also increased its holding in A/S Cesu Alus by          
subscribing for 167,500 shares in a share issue and by acquiring a total of 301 
shares from minority shareholders.  This increased the share of holding by 1.1  
percentage points. At the end of December 2009, Olvi plc's holding in A/S Cesu  
Alus stood at 99.30 percent, in AB Ragutis 99.57 percent and in AS A. Le Coq    
100.00 percent.                              

FLAGGING NOTICE                                                                 

On 21 October 2009, Olvi plc made a disclosure in accordance with Chapter 2,    
Section 9 of the Securities Markets Act with regard to a change in the company's
ownership. Artio Global Management LLC announced that its holding had diminished
from 7.6 percent to 4.7 percent of Olvi plc's share capital and 1.06 percent of 
votes. The number of shares held by Artio Global Management LLC is 487,621      
Series A shares.                                                                

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM                               

Olvi Group operates in Finland, the Baltic states and Belarus under varying     
political, economic and social environments. Operations in new markets may cause
risks. Future business environments and potential changes in the economies of   
these markets are difficult to predict.                                         

Economic troubles in the Baltic states will continue for an extended period,    
which increases unemployment and cuts private consumption in the Baltic region. 
If the recession continues, the Group's customers may face increased            
difficulties with financing and payments, which increases the risk of credit    
losses.                                                                         

The potential devaluation of the Baltic and Belarusian currencies remains a     
substantial risk; if realised, this would result in a substantial decline in    
Olvi Group's operating profit denominated in euro.                              

We expect total consumption to diminish across our operating area, particularly 
in Latvia and Lithuania. As the purchasing power of consumers has diminished,   
consumption has shifted to less expensive types of packaging, the share of      
promotional sales has increased, and private labels have gained ground. The     
market for more expensive brands such as ciders and long drinks is clearly      
declining.                                                                      

Any additional alcohol excise tax hikes anywhere in Olvi Group's operating area 
may increase private imports from countries with lower excise rates, as well as 
tax-free sales volumes.                                                         

NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK                                                               

Olvi Group's objective for 2010 is to maintain good profitability.              

For the first quarter of 2010, we expect an increase in Olvi Group's total sales
volume and market shares; however, operating profit will fall clearly short of  
the previous year. We expect that Olvi Group's comparable full-year operating   
profit for 2010 will fall slightly short of the 2009 level.                     

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT                     

Olvi plc's dividend policy is active and earnings-based.                        

The parent company Olvi plc had 40.5 (39.9) million euro of distributable funds 
on 31 December 2009, of which profit for the period accounted for 6.0 (2.2)     
million euro.                                                                   

Olvi plc's Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that       
distributable funds be used as follows:                                         

1) A dividend of 0.80 euro shall be paid for 2009 on each Series K and Series A 
share, totalling 8.3 (5.2) million euro. The dividend represents 37.2 percent of
Olvi Group's earnings per share.                                                

The proposal calls for the payment of dividends in April 2010.                  

2) 32.2 million euro shall be retained in the parent company's non-restricted   
equity.

2009 will be published on 16 March 2010. The notice to convene Olvi plc's Annual

The Articles of Association include a redemption clause concerning Series K

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS                                                         

Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on 26 January 2006 on a share-based       
incentive scheme for Olvi Group's key personnel.                                

The share-based bonus scheme is a part of the incentive and commitment scheme   
for the Group's key personnel and its purpose is to combine the objectives of   
shareholders and key personnel to improve the company's value.                  

The scheme includes two vesting periods, the first one extending from 1 January 
2006 to 31 December 2007 and the second one from 1 January 2008 to 31 December  
2010. The amount of bonuses payable out of the scheme is linked to Olvi Group's 
net sales and the operating profit percentage in relation to net sales.         

The bonuses are payable partially in Olvi plc's Series A shares and partially in
cash. The proportion payable in cash covers the taxes and other statutory fees  
arising from the share-based bonuses. The bonuses for the first vesting period  
were paid in April 2008.  The shares carry a ban on transferring them within two
years of reception.                                                             

Any bonuses for the second vesting period will be paid in April 2011. 50 percent
of the shares received as bonus for the second vesting period may be transferred
after one year of reception, and 100 percent after two years of reception. The  
right to dividends begins when the shares are transferred to the key employees' 
book-entry accounts.                                                            

On the basis of this incentive scheme, a total of 48,000 Olvi plc Series A      
shares may become payable in 2011 for the second vesting period if the targets  
are achieved in full.                                                           

The target group of the scheme currently includes 20 key employees.             
The incentive scheme does not have any diluting effect.  Olvi Group has no      
warrants or options.                                                            

6. TREASURY SHARES                                                              

On 7 April 2009, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to     
authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the acquisition of the
company's own shares using distributable funds. The authorisation is valid for  
one year starting from the General Meeting and covers a maximum of 245,000      
Series A shares.                                                                

On 29 May 2009, on the basis of the authorisation granted by the General        
Meeting, the Board of Directors of Olvi plc decided to acquire a maximum total  
of 10,000 of the company's own Series A shares.  In compliance with the rules of
the stock exchange and guidelines concerning treasury shares of a listed        
company, the shares were acquired through public trading on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki 
Ltd at the current market price at the time of acquisition. The acquisition was 
carried out between 8 and 23 June 2009. 10,000 shares were bought at an average 
price of 15.96 euro per share. The total purchase price was 159 thousand euro.  

In 2009, Olvi plc's Board of Directors has not exercised its authorisation to   
transfer the company's own Series A shares granted by the General Meeting.      

At the end of 2008, Olvi plc held 2,400 Olvi plc Series A shares, which means   
that the company held a total of 12,400 Series A shares at the end of 2009. The 
total purchase price of treasury shares was 222 thousand euro.                  

Series A shares held by Olvi plc as treasury shares represented 0.12 percent of 
the share capital and 0.03 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The        
treasury shares represented 0.15 percent of all Series A shares and associated  
votes.
