ACT

SysOpen Digia Plc ("SysOpen Digia") has notified Sentera Plc ("Sentera") on 8
June 2006 that it holds, excluding Sentera's own shares, more than nine-tenths
(9/10) of all Sentera's shares and the votes attaching to the shares.
Consequently, SysOpen Digia has, according to Chapter 14 Section 19 of the
Companies Act, the right to redeem the shares in Sentera held by other
shareholders of Sentera for fair price.

SysOpen Digia holds currently 11,980,448 shares in Sentera. The shares held by
SysOpen Digia represent, excluding Sentera's own shares, approximately 91.2 of

SysOpen Digia hereby notifies Sentera that it shall use the right of redemption
based on the Companies Act and redeem the shares in Sentera owned by other
shareholders of Sentera in accordance with Chapter 14 Sections 19 - 21 of the
Companies Act and according to the conditions set forth below.

1.1. Redemption Price

The redemption price of the shares is 3,20 euros per share, which, according to
SysOpen Digia's understanding, shall be regarded as the fair price of the shares
as referred to in Chapter 14 Section 19 of the Companies Act. The redemption
price also equals to the highest price paid by SysOpen Digia for the shares in
Sentera.

The redemption price is the same price that SysOpen Digia offers for the shares
in Sentera in the redemption offer in accordance with Chapter 6 Section 6 of the
Securities Market Act ("Redemption Offer") published on 19 June 2006.

1.2. Acceptance of the Claim for Redemption

SysOpen Digia has, by releasing a stock exchange release given on 19 June 2006,
published a Redemption Offer concerning the shares in Sentera, according to which
SysOpen Digia has offered to redeem all the shares issued by Sentera that are not
yet owned by SysOpen Digia. The Redemption Offer shall begin on 21 June 2006 at
9.30 a.m. (Finnish time) and end preliminarily on 21 July 2006 at 4 p.m. (Finnish

A shareholder can accept the claim for redemption according to the terms and
conditions and the procedure set forth in the Redemption Offer. The tender

2. Arbitration Procedure

The redemption of the shares in Sentera, that have not been voluntarily
transferred to SysOpen Digia in accordance with the procedure explained in
paragraph 1.2 of this claim for redemption, shall be left to be carried out in an
arbitration procedure referred to in Chapter 14 Section 19 and in Chapter 16
Section 5 of the Companies Act.

SysOpen Digia shall without delay apply for the appointment of an arbitral
tribunal and initiate the arbitration proceedings.

district court of Helsinki for the appointment of a trustee to look after the
interests of absent shareholders during the redemption procedure. The court order
concerning the appointment of the trustee shall be notified for registration in
the trade register information of Sentera.

According to Chapter 14 Section 20 of the Companies Act SysOpen Digia may, six
(6) months from Sentera's notification concerning the claim for redemption, agree
on the terms of the redemption with the trustee if a shareholder has not notified
the company or the trustee that he objects to the said agreement and if there is
no dispute on the right to redeem or on the redemption price between SysOpen
Digia and another shareholder. The trustee shall also look after the interests of
all the absent shareholders in the arbitration procedure referred to in paragraph
2. The contact information of the trustee shall be available to the shareholders
in Sentera from CFO Petteri Mussalo, p. + 358 50 531 9416, and in the trade
