KYRO CORPORATION  STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE February 24, 2004 4.00 pm

INVITATION TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


The shareholders of Kyro Corporation are invited to the Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders which is held on Wednesday, 17 March 2004, at
4 p.m. at Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa, Kalastajatorpantie 1,
Helsinki.

The following matters shall be handled at the Meeting:

1.
Matters pertaining to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders under
article 14 of the Articles of Association

2.
Authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire the Company’s own
shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be
authorised to acquire the Company's own shares using assets available
for distribution of profits, provided that the combined nominal value
of the shares of the Company together with the nominal value of the
shares already in the possession of the Company corresponds to a
maximum of 5 per cent of the Company’s total share capital at the
moment of acquisition.

According to the proposal the authorisation entitles the Board of
Directors to acquire the Company’s own shares in a manner and scope
determined by the Board of Directors for the purpose of using them as
consideration in possible business acquisitions, to finance
investments, or in other industrial arrangements or to be conveyed in
other ways or to be invalidated. The invalidation of the shares shall
require a decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders concerning
lowering of the share capital. The Company’s own shares would be
acquired in accordance with a decision of the Board of Directors
either through a purchase offer made to all shareholders on equal
terms in proportion to their shareholdings and at the same price
determined by the Board of Directors or, through public trading on the
Helsinki Exchanges at the market price of the shares at the time of
the acquisition.

The authorisation is valid for a period of one year beginning from the
decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The authorisation given to the Board of Directors at the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders on 19 March, 2003 to acquire the
Company's own shares, is proposed to be cancelled.


3.
Authorisation of the Board of Directors to convey the Company’s own
shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be
authorised to decide on the conveyance of the Company’s own shares.
The authorisation would comprehend the conveyance of all such own
shares of the Company that are acquired on the basis of the
acquisition authorisation granted to the Board of Directors or that
are in the Company’s possession otherwise.

According to the proposal the authorisation entitles the Board of
Directors to decide to whom and in which order the own shares are
conveyed. The Board of Directors may convey the own shares to be used
as consideration in possible business acquisitions, to finance
investments and in other industrial arrangements in a way and scope
determined by the Board of Directors. The shares may also be conveyed
through public trading on the Helsinki Exchanges.

The shares may be conveyed at least at the market value of the shares
at the time of the conveyance. The shares may also be conveyed against
other compensation than money.

The authorisation is valid for a period of one year beginning from the
decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The authorisation given to the Board of Directors at the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders on 19 March, 2003 to convey the
Company's own shares, is proposed to be cancelled.
