Corporation   Stock Exchange Release   1 March 2016 at 16:00 (EET) 

CORRECTION TO THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE NOTICE TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING OF SUOMINEN CORPORATION 

Suominen Corporation published, on 29 January 2016, the Notice to Suominen’s
Annual General Meeting to be held on 16 March 2016. 

In the English translation of the notice to the Annual General Meeting, which
is not the official notice to the General Meeting, there is an error in the
Section 18 “Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of
the company's own shares”. 

According to the corrected English translation, the authorization of the Board
of Directors according to Section 18 item 1 to decide on the repurchase of the
company’s own shares concerns the repurchase of maximum 400,000 of company’s
own shares. According to earlier published translation the authorization
concerned the repurchase of maximum 4,000,000 of company’s owns shares.
