HK RUOKATALO TO INCREASE IT'S OWNERSHIP IN SOKOLOW OF POLAND

HK Ruokatalo is planning to increase its 11.1 per cent ownership in
Sokolow, Poland's largest meat company, to a maximum of 21.1 per cent.
The exact number of shares to be aquired will be determined as a
result of separate transactions. CA IB Financial Advisers is acting as
HK Ruokatalo's co-ordinator in Poland.

HK Ruokatalo has had a stake in Sokolow since December 2002. HK
Ruokatalo is interested in developing Sokolow in a long-term manner
during Poland's EU membership and is therefore willing to enhance its
position in the company as an important minority owner.
