CORRECTION: FINAL RESULT OF HK RUOKATALO’S SHARE OFFERING

All 8,615,798 Series A Shares available for subscription in HK
Ruokatalo's share issue were subscribed. Due to a technical error
outside the company the final result is to be revised so that
8,527,109 new Series A Shares, 98.97 per cent of the number of shares
offered, were subscribed by virtue of the Primary Pre-emptive
Subscription Right (Primary Right). At the same time shares subscribed
by virtue of the Secondary Right have been re-allotted.

Shares subscribed by virtue of the Secondary Right have been allotted
to those shareholders subscribing them on a pro rata basis to their
shareholding at the record date, 1 November 2004. Each shareholder
subscribing for shares under the Secondary Right will receive around
0.78 per cent of their shareholding at the record date, rounded to the
nearest whole share. However, each shareholder will receive at most
the number of shares subscribed. Since only whole shares can be
issued, no shares will be allotted to shareholders owning 125 shares
or less.

Shares subscribed and accepted by virtue of the Secondary Right will
be entered in subscribers’ book-entry accounts once the increase in
share capital has been entered in the Trade Register. This is expected
to take place on or about 7 December 2004. The new shares will be
combined with HK Ruokatalo’s existing Series A Shares on the following
trading day, on or about 8 December 2004.
