Stora Enso seeks to terminate registration of its securities under Section
12(g) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and
terminate its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act 

Pursuant to the decision of Stora Enso's Board of Directors on 7 December 2007
to delist Stora Enso's American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) from the New York
Stock Exchange and deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the
US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) for both its ADRs and its
registered debt securities, on 7 January 2008 Stora Enso filed a Form 15F with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to deregister and terminate such
reporting obligations. The deregistration and termination of reporting
obligations is expected to take effect in April 2008. 
In addition, on 19 December 2007 Stora Enso filed a Form 25 with the SEC,
pursuant to which the last day of trading of Stora Enso's ADRs on the New York
Stock Exchange was 28 December 2007. Following the delisting, Stora Enso is
maintaining an ADR facility, and its ADRs are traded over-the-counter (OTC) in
the USA in the International OTCQX. Stora Enso's ordinary shares will continue
to trade on the OMX Nordic Exchanges in Helsinki and Stockholm. This notice is
being published pursuant to the requirements of Rule 12h-6(h) of the Exchange
Act in order to alert US investors who have purchased Stora Enso's ADRs about
Stora Enso's intended exit from the Exchange Act registration and reporting
system. 
Upon the filing of Form 15F, Stora Enso's reporting obligations under the
Exchange Act are immediately suspended and the deregistration will become
effective 90 days later unless Form 15F is withdrawn by Stora Enso before then
or the SEC delays the deregistration process. Stora Enso reserves the right to
withdraw the Form 15F for any reason prior to its effectiveness. 
Stora Enso will continue to publish its Annual Report and Accounts and other
documents and communications in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 12g3-2(b) in
English on its website www.storaenso.com.
