Stock Exchange Release
29 May 2012 at 2.30 pm EEST

Tecnotree Corporation will publish a prospectus relating to the rights offering of 48,997,451 new shares in Tecnotree. The terms and conditions of the rights offering were published in a separate stock exchange release on 28 May 2012.

The Finnish language offering circular, approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, will be available on Tecnotree's website at www.tecnotree.com/osakeanti as from 30 May 2012 and is estimated to be available at the subscription places of the rights offering as from 5 June 2012.

The prospectus includes the following information not previously disclosed:

Tecnotree has a commitment to construct a building of at least 3,800 floor sqm on the 13,603 sqm plot that it owns next to its premises. The building obligation period has been extended to 31 August 2012 by a decision by the City of Espoo Plot Manager. On 11 May 2012 Tecnotree has filed an application to the City of Espoo regarding removal of the building obligation or an extension to the building obligation period until 31 December 2014. The company has previously been granted extension to the building obligation period for a total of five times. In case the City of Espoo is not willing to remove the building obligation or grant extension to the building obligation period, it is entitled to demand annual liquidated damages from Tecnotree for the next ten years, in case the building obligation has not been fulfilled during the said period. The amount of annual liquidated damages is ten per cent of the purchase price paid by Tecnotree of the said real estate, i.e. approximately EUR 90 thousand per year.

During the financial period 2012, Tecnotree has taken variable-interest, working capital finance loan of about EUR 0.35 million from certain shareholders of the company included under related parties. The aforementioned loan is short-term and its terms and conditions are market-based.
