HKSCAN TO REORGANIZE LEGAL STRUCTURE OF FINNISH BUSINESS AT START OF 2010

HKScan Corporation is transitioning to a holding company structure in its
Finnish business. The reorganization will streamline financial reporting and
internal supervision in the Group, as it will allow business in the market
areas to be kept separate from the parent company. 

The reorganization will be accomplished by transferring HKScan Corporation's
production-related property, plant and equipment in Finland as well as its
holdings in subsidiaries and associates to HKScan Finland Oy, a holding company
wholly owned by HKScan Corporation. The transfer will take place in the form of
a business transfer on or about 1 January 2010. 

The reorganization is technical and legal in nature and it will have no effect
on operational activities. HK Ruokatalo Oy and LSO Foods Oy, the companies
responsible for the Group's Finnish business, will carry on as before. The
reorganization will not affect jobs or the status of the listed parent company
or its shareholders. 

Managing director Jari Leija of HK Ruokatalo Oy will also serve as managing
director of HKScan Finland Oy.
