Fortum sells its gas infrastructure assets in Poland to Infracapital

FORTUM CORPORATION INVESTOR NEWS 26 MAY 2017 at 9.00 EEST

Fortum has agreed to sell 100% of its shares in Polish gas infrastructure
company DUON Dystrybucja S.A. to Infracapital, the infrastructure investment
arm of M&G Investments. Fortum continuously optimises its asset portfolio and
has chosen to divest the gas infrastructure assets as they are non-core for
Fortum's strategy.

DUON Dystrybucja S.A. is transporting grid gas and LNG in Poland. The company
was acquired as part of the acquisition of the electricity and gas sales
company Grupa DUON S.A. (currently Fortum Markets Polska S.A.) in 2016
(announced on 8 January 2016).

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing
conditions. Fortum expects to finalise the transaction during the third quarter
2017. The parties have agreed not to disclose the sales price. The sale is
expected to have a minor positive impact on Fortum's results.
