“Aktia had a good start to the year. The number of total customers increased
notably, and stronger non-life insurance sales improved the Non-Life Insurance
Company's operating profit. Our new voluntary long-term pension savings product
Aktia PS was launched according to plan and assets under management rose. Aktia
Capital was awarded as the best mutual fund in the category Finnish equity by
Morningstar, and Lipper awarded Aktia Secura as the best Nordic mixed fund
during the last five years in the category Mixed Asset EUR Aggressive.”

activity in
January-March 2010
The general economic
situation
Interest rates remained at a low level throughout the beginning of 2010. The
market's access to liquidity was supported by an injection of capital from
public authorities and central banks to support the financial markets. Aktia's
liquidity was supported by increasing deposits from the general public and bond
issues by the Mortgage Bank. Competition for household deposits remained sharp
during the start of 2010 but Aktia still maintained its market shares.
During the first quarter of 2010, valuation levels for financial assets
stabilised, though the Southern European economies especially caused worries.
The stabilisation and a lower interest rate level reflected in favourable
development of Aktia's financial assets.
The amount of credit write-downs are expected to continue decreasing, and were
lower than previous quarters.
The financial crisis has resulted in many new initiatives for regulating banking
and insurance businesses, which has brought about uncertainty concerning future
capital requirements.

profit for period
The Group's operating profit improved to EUR 17.5 (8.2) million. The profit for
January-March 2010 increased by 121.9% to EUR 12.5 (5.6) million.
Income
The Group's total income increased by 27.6% between January and March to EUR
61.0 (47.8) million.
Net interest income rose to EUR 38.9 (32.5) million. The positive impact of
managing the interest rate risk and the continued decline of interest rates have
made a significant contribution to net interest income.
The derivatives used by Aktia Bank to limit its interest rate risk improved net
interest income by EUR 13.7 (2.0) million. Aktia gained from its good liquidity
position in the unstable situation in the financial markets.
Net commission income increased by 40.7% to EUR 13.4 (9.5) million. Commission
income from funds, asset management and brokering increased to EUR 8.9 (5.4)
million. Card and payment services commissions improved somewhat to EUR 2.9
(2.8) million.
The real estate agency business performed in line with last year and its income
was EUR 1.8 (1.7) million. The lack of objects was a bottleneck limiting the
growth of the real estate agency business.
Net income from life insurance amounted to EUR 4.5 (5.4) million. Aktia Non-Life
Insurance reported a net income of EUR 4.4 (2.0) million. Net income from the
insurance businesses includes insurance premiums written, net income from
investment activities, insurance claims paid and the change in technical
provisions.
Other operating income was EUR 1.3 (0.8) million.
Expenses
The Group's operating expenses in January-March amounted to EUR 38.9 (38.0)
million.
Staff costs increased marginally to EUR 20.7 (20.3) million. Other
administration expenses increased by 6.6% to EUR 11.4 (10.7) million. Total
depreciation and write-downs on tangible and intangible assets were EUR 1.8
(1.8) million. Other operating expenses fell somewhat to EUR 5.0 (5.4) million.
The cost reduction measures made during 2009 will take full effect during the
latter part of this year.
Rating
The international rating agency Moody's Investor Service updated its credit
opinion of Aktia Bank plc's credit rating on 6 January 2010. Aktia Bank plc's

borrowing. The credit rating for long-term borrowing is A1 and that for

Press and Analysts' Conference 7 may 2010 at 11 - 12 a.m.
Aktia's CEO Jussi Laitinen and Deputy Managing Director, CFO Stefan Björkman
will present the report and answer questions.
The presentation will be available at www.aktia.fi.
The conference will be held at Aktia's Head Office, Mannerheimintie 14 A, 7th
floor.
Balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments
The Group's balance sheet total increased by 6.0% from year-end and amounted to
EUR 11,186 (31.12.2009; 10,556) million. The increase in the balance sheet total
is largely due to the growth in mortgage stock and the financial assets within
the banking business.
Total deposits from the public, associations and credit institutions fell by
1.0% to EUR 4,707 (4,754) million, of which borrowing from the public and public
sector entities rose by 5.0% from the year end, totalling EUR 3,180 (3,029)
million.
Other refinancing increased by 13.4% to EUR 4,589 (4,046) million. This growth
is largely due to an increase in debt securities issued and repurchase
agreements.
Outstanding Aktia Bank certificates of deposit amounted to EUR 302 million at
the end of the period and bonds issued by the Group to EUR 2,722 million, which
represents an increase of EUR 270 million during 2010. Aktia Bank also issued
new subordinated debts and index-linked loans with a total value of EUR 22
million.
In March 2010, Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc issued a covered bond of EUR
500 million with a fixed interest rate and five-year maturity.
The Group's total lending to the public amounted to EUR 6,177 (6,061) million at
the end of March, representing an increase of EUR 116 million. Excluding the
mortgages brokered by savings and local cooperative banks that the local banks
are committed to capitalising the Group's lending increased by EUR 63 million
(1.3%) from the beginning of the year.
Loans to private households accounted for EUR 5,024 (4,924) million or 81.3%.
The housing loan stock totalled EUR 4,697 (4,598) million. In all, housing loans
increased by 2.1% from the beginning of the year.
New corporate lending continued to be moderate and loans to companies were EUR
787 million compared to EUR 782 million at the year-end, and accounted for 12.7%
of Aktia's loan stock.
Loans granted to housing associations increased by 4.0% during the period to EUR
301 (289) million and stood for 4.9% of Aktia's total loan stock.
Interest-bearing financial assets available for sale increased by 6.1% to EUR
3,477 (3,277) million. Of interest-bearing financial assets, EUR 652 million
relates to the insurance companies' investment portfolio and EUR 2,825 million
to the banking business. These assets mainly consist of the banking business'
liquidity reserve and can be used as collateral in repurchase agreements.
Off-balance sheet commitments increased by EUR 23 million from the year-end and
amounted to EUR 598 (575) million. This increase was largely due to unused
credit facilities (loan promises and limits).
Aktia Group's equity amounted to EUR 489 (466) million at the end of the period.
The Group's fund at fair value amounted to EUR 70 (43) million and showed an
improvement of EUR 27 million since the beginning of the year.
Life insurance technical provisions amounted to EUR 827 (805) million, of which
EUR 233 (210) million were unit-linked.
At the end of March, total technical provisions of non-life insurance stood at
EUR 134 (119) million, including EUR 9 (10) million for valuation of technical
provisions at fair value on acquisition.

Banking business
The operating profit of the banking business before common costs increased
during January-March to EUR 24.4 (17.5) million. The banking business' share of
common costs was EUR 7.0 (7.5) million. The segment's contribution to the
Group's operating profit amounted to EUR 17.4 (10.0) million.
Operating income totalled EUR 47.0 (36.1) million. This improvement is mainly
attributable to net interest income which increased by 23.5% to EUR 38.0 (30.8)
million. Net commission income also increased and totalled EUR 9.9 (7.0)
million. The improvement derives mainly from a higher level of net commission
income from mutual funds and insurance. Operating expenses rose somewhat to EUR
25.1 (24.4) million, of which staff costs accounted for EUR 9.9 (8.8) million.
The banking business' customer base increased by 3,354 private customers or 1.2%
during the first three months of 2010. The number of Internet agreements was up
2.4% from the beginning of the year and amounted to 118,879. Sales activities
are supported by the Aktia Dialogue concept whereby customers' needs are mapped
out and Aktia's whole service portfolio is presented. During the first three
months of 2010, more than 10,000 Dialogues were carried out, which is expected
to increase sales in 2010.
Total savings by households was EUR 3,264 (2,930) million. Of these, household
deposits were EUR 2,443 (2,374) million and savings in mutual funds stood at EUR
821 (556) million.
Aktia's lending to private households, including the mortgages brokered by
Aktia, increased by 1.4% from the year-end to EUR 3,710 (3,658) million.
Mortgage loans brokered by Aktia amounted to EUR 1,406 (1,346) million. In
addition, the savings and local cooperative banks brokered mortgages amounting
to EUR 1,343 (1,290) million.
Aktia's market share in housing loans was unchanged at 4.3% year-on-year at the
end of March.

higher year-on-year. Net commission income from corporate banking was up 13.2%
to EUR 0.7 (0.6) million.
The income of the real estate agency business remained at last year's level of
EUR 1.7 (1.7) million.
Asset Management
The operating profit of Aktia's asset management business, before allocation of
common costs, increased to EUR 1.8 (0.1) million. Asset management's share of
common costs was EUR 0.9 (0.4) million. The segment's contribution to Group
operating profit amounted to EUR 0.9 (-0.4) million.
Managed assets continued to develop favourably during January-March 2010. Aktia
provides a wide and competitive range of services in the capital market for both
private individuals and institutions. The Asset Management segment continues to
focus on private banking operations and institutional investors this year.
Operating income, i.e. income after reversals to the Group's other units and
business partners, was EUR 5.0 (2.9) million. Operating expenses increased by
23.1% to EUR 4.1 (3.3) million, of which staff costs made up EUR 2.3 (1.9)
million. This is due to greater investment of resources in the private banking
business.
The volume of funds managed and brokered by Aktia was EUR 4,096 (3,786) million.
Aktia's market share was 7.0% (31.3.2009: 6.0%) at the end of the period - this
includes the share of brokered funds. The total market is based on information
from the Finnish Association of Mutual Funds.
In March 2010, Morningstar awarded the mutual fund Aktia Capital the title of
best Finnish mutual equity fund. Lipper awarded Aktia Secura as the best Nordic
mixed fund during the last five years in the category Mixed Asset EUR
Aggressive.
The assets managed by Aktia Asset Management and Aktia Invest increased, thanks
to an upswing in the markets, and totalled EUR 6,382 (5,996) million. Assets
managed by Aktia Invest amounted to EUR 2,303 (2,140) million. The customer
assets of Private Banking totalled EUR 960 (926) million.
Life Insurance
The life insurance business' operating profit before common costs was EUR 3.4
(2.5) million. The life insurance business' share of the common costs amounted
to EUR 0.4 (0.4) million. The segment's contribution to the Group's operating
profit amounted to EUR 2.9 (2.0) million.
Premiums written during January-March was EUR 26.0 (20.5) million. A strategic
line has been drawn so that all new sales are directed against the unit link.
Risk insurance premiums written were in line with last year whereas premiums
written in pension insurance decreased as expected while customers were awaiting
new PS (new legislation regarding long-term pension savings) savings forms. Of
the premium volume for savings and investment-linked insurance and pension
insurance, unit-linked insurance accounted for 80%.
Operating costs, including common costs, totalled EUR 3.3 (3.7) million. The
expense ratio stood at 104.4% compared to 115.4% for the year before.
The return on the company's investments based on market value was 2.6% (-2.3%).
Technical provisions totalled EUR 827 (805) million, of which provisions for
unit-linked insurance policies represented EUR 233 (210) million and
interest-linked provisions EUR 593 (595) million.
The company's solvency ratio improved and amounted to 16.0% compared to 14.4% at
the end of 2009.
Non-Life Insurance
The non-life insurance business' operating profit before common costs was EUR
0.0 (-3.0) million. The non-life insurance business' share of common costs
amounted to EUR 0.5 (0.4) million. The contribution of the non-life insurance
business to the Group's operating profit for January-March was EUR -0.5 (-3.4)
million.
Premiums written for Aktia Non-Life Insurance rose by approximately 3% on the
corresponding period last year. This increase is above the average growth in the
market and is mostly attributable to private customers. Premiums written before
the reinsurers' share were EUR 29.6 (28.8) million. Premiums earned for the
period after the reinsurers' share and change in provisions for unearned
premiums amounted to EUR 14.8 (13.9) million. Claims incurred amounted to a
total of EUR 11.8 (11.7) million.
Operating costs decreased to EUR 4.6 (5.3) million. The combined ratio in
January-March 2010 was 111.5% compared to 122.4% the previous year. The lower
combined ratio is largely explained both by lower frequency of loss and lower
staff costs.
Net income from investments amounted to EUR 2.3 (-0.4) million. The return on
the company's investments based on market value was 2.6%.
Of the non-life insurance business' total technical provisions of EUR 125 (110)
million, provisions for outstanding claims stood at EUR 91 (89) million. The
market value of the company's investment portfolio was EUR 143 (135) million and
the company's risk carrying capacity was 74.0% compared to 72.4% at the end of
2009.
The integration of Aktia Non-Life Insurance's distribution channels into Aktia's
branch office network has continued to increase customer activity particularly
in the private customer sector.
Miscellaneous
In January-March 2010 the operating profit of the Miscellaneous segment was EUR
-2.2 (2.2) million.
common costs
In accordance with the new Group structure and “One Aktia” strategy the Group
support functions have been unified and integrated. The integration process is
continuing throughout 2010 and the largest expenses consist of marketing and IT
as well as general support and staff functions.
Capital adequacy and
solvency
The Bank Group's capital adequacy amounted to 16.2% compared to 15.9% at the end
of 2009. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.6 (9.5)%. Capital adequacy was
strengthened by the profit for the period and by higher valuations of financial
assets.
The Bank Group's capital adequacy is at a good level, exceeding both the targets
set internally and the regulatory minimum requirements for capital adequacy.
The life insurance company's solvency margin amounted to EUR 97 (86) million,
where the minimum requirement is EUR 34.2 (34.0) million. Solvency ratio
amounted to 16.0 (14.4)%.
The non-life insurance company's solvency margin amounted to EUR 20.7 (18.4)
million, where the minimum requirement is EUR 13.1 (13.1) million. Solvency
capital was EUR 45.2 (43.6) million and a risk carrying capacity of 74.0 (72.4)%
was reported.
Capital adequacy for the conglomerate amounted to 162.4 (157.4)%. The statutory
minimum stipulated in the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance
Conglomerates is 100%.
Valuation of financial
assets
Value changes reported via income statement
For shares and participations, a value impairment is reported in the income
statement where the value change has been announced as significant or long-term
and, in the case of interest-bearing securities, where the issuer has announced
an inability to pay. For interest-bearing securities, previous write-downs are
reversed in the income statement and for shares and participations in the fund
at fair value.
Write-downs during January-March 2010 were marginal, whereas these totalled EUR
9.7 million during the same period in 2009.

the fund at fair value amounted to EUR 70.2 million after deferred tax compared
to EUR 43.3 million as at 31 December 2009. Cash flow hedging which comprises
the market value for interest rate derivative contracts which have been acquired
for the purposes of hedging the banking business' net interest income amounted
to EUR 30.6 (21.4) million.

Write-downs of loan and guarantee claims
Write-downs based on individual examination amounted to EUR -4.8 (-1.7) million
during January-March 2010. Recoveries and reversals of previous write-downs came
to EUR 0.4 (0.1) million so that the cost effect on the profit for the period
was EUR -4.4 (-1.6) million. During the period, the non-life insurance company
made write-downs for outstanding premiums (credit losses) amounting to EUR 0.2
million.
Most of the write-downs during the period are related to commitments whose
credit rating had already decreased in 2009 and where restructuring efforts now
are confirmed as without result.
Of write-downs, EUR -4.5 million was accounted for by corporate loans, which
corresponds to 0.6 (0.2)% of the total corporate lending. Write-downs of
household loans amounted to EUR -0.3 (-0.1) million of which was accounted for
by unsecured consumer loans. The review period's write-downs of household loans
were marginal of total lending to households. Total write-downs amounted to 0.08
(0.03)% of total lending.
In addition to individual write-downs, group write-downs were made for
households and small companies, where there were objective reasons to believe
there was uncertainty in relation to the repayment of claims in underlying
credit portfolios. Group write-downs for households and small companies remained
unchanged and amounted to EUR 7.4 (7.4) million at the end of the period.
The Group's risk

Lending-related risks within banking
Credit stock maintained its good quality.
Credit stock increased in January-March 2010 by EUR 116 million or 1.9%,
totalling EUR 6,177 (6,061) million. As planned, this increase mainly occurred
within household financing and households' share of total credit stock amounted
to EUR 5,024 (4,924) million or 81.3% or 86.2% when combined with housing
associations. Of these loans to households, 86.3 (86.2)% are secured against
adequate real estate collateral in accordance with Basel 2.
Housing credit stock totalled EUR 4,697 (4,598) million, of which mortgages
granted by Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank plc made up EUR 2,602 (2,498)
million. In all, housing loans increased by 2.1% against year-end 2009, and the
growth derived mainly through Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank's lending where
the average balance in relation to collateral market value fell somewhat to 56.7
(57.0)% compared to the corresponding period 2009.
New lending to companies remained moderate and corporate loans totalled EUR 787
(782) million. The proportion of the total credit stock accounted for by
corporate loans fell as planned to 12.7 (12.9)%.
Lending to the public secured by collateral objects or unsecured within the
framework of the financing companies Aktia Corporate Finance and Aktia Card &
Finance totalled EUR 91.1 (84.8) million, representing 1.5% of total lending.

The Group's financing and liquidity risks
The financing and liquidity risks are dealt with at corporate legal level, and
there are no financing commitments from the Bank Group (Aktia Bank plc and its
subsidiaries) to the insurance companies.
In the banking business, financing and liquidity risks are defined as the
availability of refinancing plus the differences in maturity between assets and
liabilities. The objective in the Bank Group is to be able to cover one year's
refinancing requirements using existing liquidity. The Bank Group's liquidity
status has been stable despite continued financial uncertainty. Following the
Aktia Real Estate Mortgage Bank's issue in March 2010, the liquidity buffer is
at a level that meets refinancing requirements for more than two years
refinancing needs.
Within the life insurance business, liquidity risks are defined as the
availability of financing for paying out claims, savings sums and surrenders,
and pensions. The need for liquidity is satisfied mainly through the inward flow
of cash and a portfolio of investment certificates which has been adapted in
line with varying needs. Any unforeseen significant need for liquidity is taken
care of through the liquid portfolio (primarily bonds).
Within the non-life insurance business, liquidity risks are defined as the
availability of financing for paying out claims and depend on the number of
claims and their scale. Liquidity risks are managed through the inward flow of
cash plus an adapted portfolio of bank deposits, investment certificates and
government bonds.
Counterparty risks
Counterparty risks within Group treasury
The banking business' liquidity portfolio, which comprises interest-bearing
securities and is managed by Group Treasury, stood at EUR 2,683 (2,615) million
as at 31 March 2010. Individual investment decisions are made in accordance with
an investment plan in place and are based on careful assessment of the
counterparty. Counter party risks are limited by the requirement for a high
external rating (a minimum rating of A3 by Moody's Investor Service or
equivalent), and limits are set for maximum exposure per counterparty and asset
category.
Of the financial assets available for sale, 58 (51)% were investments in covered
bonds, 25 (36)% were investments in banks, 10 (9)% were investments in
state-guaranteed financial senior bonds and approximately 7 (4)% were
investments in public sector entities and companies.
Counterparty risks in derivatives trading are managed through demands on
collateral (CSA) limiting the open positions.

Of these financial assets, 3.2 (1.1)% did not meet the internal rating
requirements. As a result of a reduced credit rating, three security assets with
a total market value of EUR 15 million were no longer eligible for refinancing
with the central bank. Other securities that are not eligible for refinancing
and are unrated totalled EUR 89 million.
During the period, no write-downs were realised as a result of the issuer
announcing its inability to pay whereas the write-downs during the same period
last year amounted to EUR -0.4 million.
Counterparty risks in the life
insurance business
The life insurance company's direct interest rate investment increased as a
result of continued reallocation with the aim of reducing the investment risks
and neutralising interest rate risks in the technical provisions. Fixed income
assets amounted to EUR 582 (570) million at the end of the quarter. Counterparty
risks arising in connection with the life insurance company's investments are
managed by the requirement for at least an “investment grade” external rating
(rating class Baa3 from Moody's Investors Service or equivalent) and by rules
concerning the maximal exposure for each counterparty and asset category.
At the end of March 2010, 46 (47)% of direct interest rate investments were
receivables from public sector entities, 20 (23)% were corporate bonds and 34
(30)% were receivables from banks and covered bonds.
1.5 (1.7)% of direct interest rate investments did not meet the internal rating
requirements at the end of the period.
The net change in value amongst interest-rate instruments earlier written down
and booked was EUR 0.5 million.
During the period, no write-downs were realised as a result of the issuer's
credit rating being lowered.

Counterparty risks in the non-life
insurance business
A conservative investment policy is observed in the non-life insurance business.
The non-life insurance company's direct interest rate investments increased as a
result of continued reallocation with the aim of reducing investment risks and
totalled EUR 113 (104) million at the end of March 2010.
At the end of the quarter, 60 (64)% of the direct interest rate investments were
receivables from public sector entities, 11 (10)% were corporate bonds and 29
(36)% were receivables from banks and covered bonds.
During the period no write-downs were realised.

Market valuation of
financial assets
Aktia pursues no trading activities. Both the financial assets within the
banking business and the investment assets within the life and non-life
insurance businesses are invested in securities with access to market prices in
an active market, and are valued in accordance with official quoted prices. Any
significant or long-term impairment of market value compared to the acquisition
price is shown in the income statement, while interest-rate fluctuations are
reported under the fund at fair value after the deduction of deferred tax.
Structural interest rate risk in the banking business
Structural interest rate risk arises as a result of an imbalance between
interest rate ties and the re-pricing of assets and liabilities, and affects net
interest income. Hedging derivative instruments and investments within the
liquidity portfolio are exploited to reduce the volatility in net interest
income.
According to the strategy for interest rate risk management, a parallel upward
or downward shift in the interest rate curve of one percentage point shall not
influence estimated net interest income of the banking business for the next 12
months by more than 7%, and 8% for the following year. At the end of the first
quarter of 2010 the set targets were met. The growth in the deposit stock
diminishes net interest income's sensitivity to an upward shift in the interest
rate curve.
Market value interest rate risk in the banking business
Market value interest rate risk refers to changes in value of financial assets
available for sale as a result of interest rate fluctuations or changes in
credit, interest rate or spread risks. The size, maturity and risk level of the
liquidity portfolio is restricted as a result of capital allocation limits and
limits for entering into repurchase agreements.
The net change in the fund at fair value relating to market value interest rate
risk posted during the period and credit and spread risk was positive and
totalled EUR 21.6 (13.3) million after the deduction of deferred tax. At the end
of March 2010, the valuation difference in interest-bearing securities was
positive at EUR 8.3 million.
Other market risks in the banking business and parent company
No equity trading or investments in real estate are carried out by the banking
business or in the parent company.
At the end of the period, remaining real estate assets totalled EUR 3.5 (3.4)
million. Investments in shares which are necessary or strategic to the business
totalled EUR 31.6 (30.6) million. At the end of the quarter, the fund at fair
value related to the above strategic share investments amounted to EUR 4.4 (3.7)
million after the deduction of deferred tax.
Investment risks in the life insurance business
The policyholder bears the investment risk of investments that provide cover for
unit-linked insurance policies. These investments are valuated on an ongoing
basis at fair value and any changes in value are posted to technical provisions
for unit-linked insurance policies.
The investment portfolio covering technical provisions is measured on an ongoing
basis at market value. During the reporting period, write-downs affecting profit
were posted which were attributable to shares and participations totalling EUR
-0.3 (-4.9) million. The net change in the fund at fair value for shares after
acquisition eliminations posted during the period totalled EUR -0.7 (0.2)
million after the deduction of deferred tax. The change in value of the fund at
fair value with regard to shares and participations is mainly related to
indirect real estate investments.

Underwriting risks in the life insurance business
Underwriting risks occur where future claim payments become higher than
expected. Taking into account the provision of reinsurance cover, the insurance
business has been relatively stable. The provision of reinsurance cover for
different insurance portfolios reduces the volatility of financial results and
eliminates risks that could affect the company's future business opportunities.
Investment risks in the non-life
insurance business
The investment portfolio covering total technical provisions is measured on an
ongoing basis at market value.
The investment plan is to synchronise the investments and cash flow of technical
provisions, which means a strong focus on the allocation of high-quality
interest-bearing securities with short maturity.
Currently the investment plan does not include equity investments.

Operational risks
Operational risks refer to loss risks arising as a result of unclear or
incomplete instructions, activities carried out contrary to instructions,
unreliable information, deficient systems or actions taken by staff members. If
an operational risk is realised, this can result in direct or indirect financial
losses or tarnish the corporate image to the extent that the bank's credibility
in the marketplace suffers.
No events regarded as operational risks causing significant financial losses
occurred in January-March 2010.
Events concerning close relations
Close relations refers to Aktia plc's key persons in management positions, close
family members and companies that are under dominating influence of a key person
in management position. The group's key persons refer to Aktia plc's Members of
the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Directors and the Group's Executive
Committee, Managing Director and Deputy Managing Director.
No significant changes concerning close relations occurred during the period.
Personnel
Converted into full-time employees, the number of people employed by the Group
decreased by 41 persons to 1,199 (31.3.2009: 1,240). The average number of
full-time employees during the quarter was 1,202 (1,204).
Personnel fund and management's incentive programme for 2010
Aktia Abp's Board of Directors has confirmed the following calculation method
for the profit sharing provision to the personnel fund as of 2010. The profit
sharing provision is based on 10% of the Group operating profit exceeding EUR 30
million. The profit sharing provision cannot exceed EUR 3 million. The CEO and
other members of the Group's Executive Committee are also members of the Group's
personnel fund.
A bonus system has been set up for the CEO and the other members of the Group's
Executive Committee which is based on the Group's financial results and annually
defined targets at company and individual level. The individual bonus to the
Executive Committee members cannot exceed the equivalent of three months' salary
each year.
For 2010, the Executive Committee is also included in a share-based incentive
scheme that offers the members of the Executive Committee the opportunity to
acquire a maximum of 55,833 shares. The outcome is dependent on separate
targets, the performance conditions of which have been decided on by the Board
of Directors.

Aktia has entered into a market-making or LP (liquidity - providing) agreement
with Handelsbanken in order to improve liquidity in A shares, which should
encourage transactions by small shareholders. The agreement entered into force
on 4 January 2010.
Events after the end of the reporting period
As planned, Aktia launched its new PS-savings products on 6 April 2010.
At its first meeting after the Annual General Meeting of 2010, Aktia plc's Board
of Supervisors on 20 April 2010 re-elected Henry Wiklund as Chair of the Board
of Supervisors. Christina Gestrin, Patrik Lerche, Henrik Sundbäck, Lorenz
Uthardt and Bo-Gustav Wilson were elected as Deputy Chairs. Johan Bardy, Anna
Bertills, Gun Kapténs, Erik Karls, Gunvor Sarelin-Sjöblom, Bengt Sohlberg, Lars
Wallin and Henry Wiklund were elected as members of the Board of Supervisors
Controlling Committee.
The Board of Supervisors' Chair and the Deputy Chairs are Presiding Officers
tasked with drawing up matters to be dealt with by the Board of Supervisors,
studying reports on decisions taken by the Board of Directors concerning overall
strategy and studying reports concerning loans and guarantee commitments that
have been extended to members of the Board of Directors. The Controlling
Committee of the Board of Supervisors is tasked with closely monitoring the
activities of the Board of Directors and executive management and with reporting
its observations to the Board of Supervisors. The observations of the external
and internal auditors are also reported to the Controlling Committee.
The worries especially concerning the Southern European economies have lead to
higher spreads and lower valuations for financial assets after the end of the
period. Consequently, the fund at fair value that developed very positively
during the first quarter, showing an increase of EUR 26.8 million, has declined
by some EUR 13 million after the reporting period.

Outlook and risks for 2010 (unchanged)
Aktia expects the Group's operating profit for 2010 to be at the same level as
in 2009.
In 2010, Aktia's focus will be on strengthening customer relations, increasing
sales, developing Internet services, and managing costs, risks and capital in
order to strengthen profitability. Aktia is endeavouring to grow above the
market, particularly in the sectors of retail customers and small companies.
Aktia's financial results are affected by many factors, of which the most
important are the general economic situation, fluctuations in share prices,
interest rates and exchange rates and the competitive situation. Changes in
these factors can have an impact on demand for banking, insurance, real estate
agency and asset management services.
Change in interest rate level, yield curves and credit margins are hard to
predict and can affect Aktia's interest rate margins and therefore
profitability. Aktia pursuing effective management of interest rate risks.
Any future write-downs of loans in Aktia's loan portfolio could be due to many
factors, the most important of which are the general economic situation,
interest rate level, the level of unemployment and changes in house prices.
Aktia expects write-downs on credit to be lower in 2010 than in 2009.
The availability of liquidity on the money markets is important for Aktia's
refinancing activities. Like other banks, Aktia relies on deposits from
households in order to service some of its liquidity needs.
The market value of Aktia's financial and other assets can change as a result
of, among other things, a requirement for higher returns among investors.
The financial crisis has resulted in many new initiatives for regulating banking
and insurance businesses, which has brought uncertainty concerning future
capital requirements. A change in capital requirements could actualise both
capitalisation needs and need for changes in Aktia Group's structure.

Notes to the interim report
Note 1 Basis for preparing interim reports and important accounting principles
Basis for preparing the interim report
Aktia plc's consolidated financial statement is prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2010 has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting'. The interim financial
report does not contain all the information and notes required for an annual
report and should therefore be read together with the Group's annual report of
31 December 2009.
The figures in this report are presented so that income statement items are
compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, while the
comparison of balance sheet items relates to 31 December 2009 unless specified
otherwise.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2010 was approved by the
Board of Directors on 7 May 2010.
Balance sheet items in the Report by the Board of Directors are mainly given in
EUR million without decimals.
Aktia plc's financial statements and interim reports are available on Aktia's
website www.aktia.fi.
Important accounting principles
In preparing this interim report the Group has followed the accounting
principles applicable to the annual report of 31 December 2009.
New accounting standards apply from 2010
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (revised)
With effect from 1 January 2010, business combinations are reported in
accordance with the revised standard IFRS 3. From 1 January 2010 onwards,
company acquisitions will involve greater volatility in the consolidated income
statement and in the Group's equity. The Group has not had any company
acquisitions during the first quarter 2010.
IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (revised)
This revised standard deals with accounting principles relating to minority
interests. The application of this standard has not had any impact on the
Group's result or financial position during the first quarter 2010.
Note 2 Segment reporting
Segment
From 1 January 2009, the reported segments are Banking Business, Asset
Management, Life Insurance, Non-Life Insurance and Miscellaneous.
The Banking Business segment includes Aktia Bank plc's branch office operation,
corporate banking and treasury as well as subsidiaries Aktia Real Estate
Mortgage Bank plc, Aktia Card & Finance Ab, Aktia Corporate Finance Ab and the
real estate agencies. Asset Management includes Aktia Bank plc's private bank in
Helsinki and the subsidiaries Aktia Fund Management Ltd and Aktia Asset
Management Oy Ab as well as business unit Aktia Invest. Life Insurance includes
Aktia Life Insurance Ltd. Non-Life Insurance includes Aktia Non-Life Insurance
Company Ltd. Miscellaneous includes Group management in Aktia plc and certain
administrative functions in Aktia Bank plc that are not allocated to the various
business areas. This business area also includes Vasp-Invest Ab.
Allocation principles and group eliminations
Net interest income from those units included in the banking business and asset
management segments contain the margins on volumes of borrowing and lending.
Reference interest rates for borrowing and lending and the interest rate risk
that arises because of new pricing being out of step are transferred to Treasury
in accordance with the Group's internal pricing. Treasury assumes responsibility
for the Group's interest rate risk, liquidity and balance hedging measures for
which management has issued authority. The costs of central support functions
are allocated to the segments in accordance with resource use, defined projects
and according to different allocation rules.
Until further notice, Aktia plc and Aktia Bank plc are not allocating equity to
the different segments. The miscellaneous segment consists of any items in the
income statement and balance sheet that are not allocated to the various
segments.
Internal Group transactions between legal entities are eliminated and reported
within each segments if the legal entities are in the same segment. Internal
Group transactions between legal entities in different segments are included in
the eliminations.
The share of profits in associated companies, acquisition eliminations, the
minority interest's share and other Group adjustments are included in
eliminations.
Pricing between the segments is based on market prices.

In its capital adequacy measurement to determine the exposure's risk weight,
Aktia applies credit ratings by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's
to receivables from central governments and central banks, credit institutions,
investment firms and covered bonds. The risk weight for bank exposures and bonds
secured by real estate is determined by the credit rating of the country where
the institution is located.

AKTIA PLC
Board of Directors
To the Board of Directors of Aktia p.l.c.
review report on the interim report of aktia plc as of 31.3.2010
introduction
We have reviewed the balance sheet as of 31.3.2010, the income statement, the
statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement of Aktia p.l.c. for
the three-month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes to the financial statements. The
Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU,
and other Finnish rules and regulations governing the preparation of interim
reports. At the request of the Board of Directors we issue our opinion on the
interim report.
scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements
2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of
making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
standards on auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices, and
therefore the procedures performed in a review do not enable to obtain a level
of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
opinion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the Interim Report does not give a true and fair view of the entity's
financial position as of 31 March 2010 and the result of its operations and cash
flows for the three-month period then ended, in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU and
other applicable rules and regulations governing interim financial reporting
preparation in Finland.
