ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING RIGHT OF REDEMPTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FINNISH
COMPANIES ACT
SysOpen Digia Plc's (SysOpen Digia) holding has increased to a total of
11,951,852 shares in Sentera Plc (Sentera), which represent approximately 90,97 %
of all shares and the votes of Sentera (excluding the own shares held by
Sentera).
SysOpen Digia is therefore entitled to redeem the remaining shares in Sentera
pursuant to Chapter 14, Section 19, of the Finnish Companies Act, and SysOpen
Digia shall begin procedures pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act to redeem
shares in Sentera held by other shareholders than SysOpen Digia. SysOpen Digia
will notify on the procedure in more detail later.
SysOpen Digia will offer a consideration of 3.20 euros per share in the
redemption process pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act. This consideration
equals to the highest price paid by SysOpen Digia for the shares in Sentera.
Sentera´s shareholders considering the sale of shares to SysOpen Digia in the
redemption procedure are asked to accept the Mandatory Offer pursuant to the
Finnish Securities Market Act, which will be published on or around 19 June 2006.
The offer period is expected to begin on or around 21 June 2006.
SysOpen Digia's intention is that Sentera will apply for the delisting of the
Sentera shares when the ownership of all shares in Sentera has been transferred
to SysOpen Digia. SysOpen Digia expects this to take place during the early
autumn 2006.
