NOTIFICATION AS REFERRED TO IN CHAPTER 3 A, SECTION 3 A OF THE COMPANIES ACT

On 3 May 2005, the Annual General Meeting of Atria Group plc took the decision to
sell the company's A series shares, which are currently in the joint book-entry
account, on behalf of their owners and authorised the Board of Directors to take
any action necessary to implement the decision. The joint book-entry account
established by the company holds the shares of those shareholders who have not
registered their share ownership with the book-entry register. On 28 February
2005, a total of 26,972 A series shares remained to be transferred to the book-
entry system.

Those Atria shareholders or other assignees who have not yet claimed their title
or other right to be registered in the book-entry system are urged to submit
their share certificates and any documents of title or any other document of
title held by them without delay to the appropriate account operator in order to
register their rights.

Shareholders or other assignees must claim their shares or other rights to be
registered in the book-entry system in the manner provided by law no later than
15 July 2006. Failure to comply with this request will result in the forfeiture
of their right to these shares.

Any shares remaining unregistered with the book-entry system after 15 July 2006
will be sold on behalf of their owners. The proceeds received from the sale will
be deposited on behalf of their owners with the County Administrative Board of
Eastern Finland for the period prescribed by law (currently ten years) after the
deduction of notification and transaction costs. After the sale of the shares,
the shareholders will only be entitled to receive a proportion of the deposited
funds corresponding to the value of their shares upon the presentation of the
share certificate or any other document of title.
