FEED FACTORY ACQUISITION IN RUSSIA BY RAISIO 
AND LÄNNEN TEHTAAT JOINT VENTURE CANCELLED

In its latest interim report Raisio plc announced that ZAO Scandic Feed, a joint
venture equally owned by Raisio and Lännen Tehtaat, had signed a contract for the
acquisition of a majority shareholding in ZAO Tosno Feed Factory, which is
engaged in the production and marketing of feeds in Russia. The contract was
signed in March, and the Russian competition authorities gave a permit for the
deal.

The Russian seller has now, without justification, refused to close the deal in
the way agreed in the contract, and the deal is cancelled.
