Metso Corporation, stock exchange release, December 18, 2017 at 14:25 EEST

Metso has received a reassessment decision from the Finnish tax authority for
its Finnish subsidiary Metso Minerals Oy. The reassessment decision is a result
of a tax audit carried out in the company concerning tax years 2011-2016.

The Finnish tax authority has requested Metso Minerals Oy to pay additional
taxes, late payment interest and penalties in total of EUR 21 million. The
decision concerns the transactions between Metso Minerals Oy and its foreign
subsidiaries.

Metso considers the Finnish tax authority's decision unfounded and will appeal
the decision to Board of Adjustment of the Finnish tax authority. However, Metso
Minerals Oy will recognize an income tax liability in the full amount of EUR 21
million in the financial statements and result of year 2017.
