HK RUOKATALO PREPARES TO RECOGNISE RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

HK Ruokatalo Group is expecting its international business to attain
and in part to exceed its growth and productivity goals for 2005.
Performance in Finland will remain clearly behind target, as earlier
indicated in our interim reports.

We are preparing to recognise additional charges in the financial
statements for 2005. These non-recurring items are attributable to
writedowns of fixed assets in preparation of closing down production
in Turku and Tampere, inasmuch as progress is made on the planned
business structure reform, and to personnel and pension arrangements
already referred to earlier. The planned charges are expected to erode
the company’s profits by some EUR 4-5 million.

The company will release its financial statement bulletin for 2005 on
24 February 2006.

Simo Palokangas
CEO
