Pohjanmaan Lähisanomat Acquires the Business of the Kauhava Newspaper On 31 May 2008, Pohjanmaan Lähisanomat Oy, part of the Ilkka-Yhtymä Group, purchased the business operations of the Kauhava newspaper. The prospective merging of the municipalities of Kauhava, Alahärmä, Ylihärmä and Kortesjärvi at the beginning of next year had a significant influence on the realisation of the deal. Three local newspapers are currently published in the area of the future City of Kauhava: Kauhava, Härmät and Järviseudun Sanomat. The goal is that, through the acquisition, the Härmät and Kauhava newspapers published by Pohjanmaan Lähisanomat Oy will be merged into a single newspaper from the beginning of next year. Both the selling and purchasing parties consider a strong local newspaper to be important, servicing the needs of the people and advertisers of the entire future city and facilitating the building of a common identity throughout the region. The entire business operations of the Kauhava newspaper were transferred to Pohjanmaan Lähisanomat through the deal. The newspaper's five staff were transferred to Pohjanmaan Lähisanomat under their current terms of employment. Shares The Series I shares of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj have been listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange since 1981.

Risks and Risk Management No major near-term risks are evident in the publishing and printing businesses, provided that a satisfying conclusion is reached in the journalists' collective bargaining for the period beginning 1 October 2008. The Union of Journalists in Finland has terminated the collective labour agreement covering the press terms of employment so that its validity will end on 30 September 2008. Collective bargaining on a new agreement will begin in August-September. Business risks are discussed in more detail in the Annual Report for 2007. The Group has EUR 46 million of interest-bearing loans, EUR 40 million of which are long-term. Some of the loans are fixed-rate, some variable-rate. The market value of publicly quoted available-for-sale financial assets on 30 June 2008 was EUR 67.8 million. Were this value to change by 5 per cent, the change in equity would equal EUR 2.5 million. Corporate Governance and the Annual General Meeting On 14 April 2008, the Annual General Meeting of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj approved the financial statements, discharged the members of the Supervisory Board and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director from liability, and decided that a per share dividend of EUR 1.00 shall be paid for the year 2007.

The following new members were elected onto the Supervisory Board to replace members who resigned mid-term for the rest of their terms: Anne Katajamäki, Seinäjoki (term ends in 2011), Sami Talso, Mustasaari (2010), Sami Eerola, Nurmo (2010) and Johanna Kankaanpää, Ähtäri (2010). Of the Supervisory Board members whose term had come to an end, the following were re-elected for the term ending in 2012: Vesa-Pekka Kangaskorpi, Jyväskylä, Jarmo Rinta-Jouppi, Seinäjoki, Matti Ritamäki, Lapua, Kimmo Simberg, Seinäjoki and Jyrki Viitala, Seinäjoki. Ernst & Young Oy, Authorised Public Accountants was elected the auditor, with Authorised Public Accountants Tomi Englund and Pekka Kiljunen as the main auditor. Authorised Public Accountants Päivi Virtanen and Johanna Winqvist-Ilkka were elected deputy auditors. The AGM decided to amend Sections 5(1), 7 and 9(1) of the Articles of Association. The minimum number of Supervisory Board Members was amended to 20 and maximum number to 30 in Section 5(1) of the Articles of Association, while Sections 7 and 9(1) were amended to conform to the new Limited Liability Companies Act, i.e. the Board of Directors will elect the Managing Director. On 26 May 2008, the Supervisory Board re-elected Timo Aukia, whose term had come to an end, to the Board of Directors of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj. Heikki Kuoppamäki was elected as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, while Perttu Rinta will continue as Vice Chairman. At its membership meeting, the Board of Directors re-elected Seppo Paatelainen as its Chairman, while Timo Aukia will continue as its Vice Chairman. OUTLOOK FOR 2008 Growth in media advertisement is anticipated to decelerate in Finland over the rest of the year, due to the general economic situation. Printing business volumes are likely to stay almost unchanged and competition will remain tough. The net sales of Ilkka-Yhtymä group are anticipated to grow slightly alongside publishing net sales. Operating profit and operating profit as a percentage of net sales are forecast to decrease slightly from the healthy levels of 2007, unless major changes occur in external circumstances during the rest of 2008. The profit for the entire financial year will be affected by the increase in interest expenses as well as securities trading volumes and the price performance of securities investments. The profit for the entire financial year is anticipated to improve slightly compared to 2007.
