ATRIA GROUP PLC    STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   18 DEC. 2003 AT 2.00 P.M.


ALLOTMENT OF ATRIA GROUP PLC SHARES SUBSCRIBED FOR ON THE BASIS OF SECONDARY 
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

The Board of Directors of Atria Group plc has approved the allotment of shares 
subscribed for in the share issue on the basis of secondary pre-emptive 
subscription rights and accepted the subscriptions that were made. 

The amount of subscriptions made on the basis of the secondary subscription 
rights exceeded the number of shares offered. The shares have been allotted 
amongst the shareholders who subscribed for them in proportion to their 
shareholdings on the record date, 14 November 2003. Each shareholder who 
subscribed for secondary shares will receive new shares amounting to about 3.7 
per cent of their shareholding on the record date, rounded off to the nearest 
whole share. The maximum amount of new shares which a shareholder can obtain may 
nevertheless not exceed the number of shares subscribed for by that shareholder. 
Shares were not allotted to shareholders owning less than 26 shares, because 
only non-fractional shares can be issued.

The subscription payment which the shareholder has remitted for the secondary 
subscription will be returned, to the extent that the shareholder does not 
receive the shares subscribed for, on or about 23 December 2003. Those 
subscribers whose secondary subscriptions have been accepted will be sent a 
written notice of confirmation. The shares subscribed for on the basis of the 
secondary subscription rights will be entered in the shareholders' book-entry 
accounts on or about 22 December 2003 and the shares will be admitted to public 
trading on Helsinki Exchanges on or about 23 December 2003.

The new shares entitle their shareholders to a full dividend as from the 
financial year commencing on 1 January 2003. The shares will confer the other 
rights in the company as from registration of the increase in share capital.
