HK RUOKATALO HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO INCREASE ITS OWNERSHIP OF
SOKOLÓW IN POLAND

On 6 May 2004, HK Ruokatalo signed an agreement whereby it is to
acquire in two instalments Germany-based Conrad Jacobson GmbH’s shares
in Sokolów S.A, Poland’s largest meat company. The deal involves 11
499 564 shares, which correspond to 11.48 per cent of Sokolów’s
shares. The deal will take HK Ruokatalo’s holding in Sokolów from
21.12 per cent to 32.60 per cent.

The deal is subject to the approval of the Polish authorities, a
process that is expected to last 4-8 weeks.

HK Ruokatalo has been a shareholder in Sokolów since December 2002 and
is currently the company’s largest shareholder.
Sokolów has made extremely encouraging progress and Poland’s recent
accession to the EU is expected to further strengthen Sokolow’s
potential.
