RAISIO GROUP EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING 30 SEPTEMBER 2004

In accordance with the proposal made by the Board of Directors, the Raisio Group
plc's Extraordinary General Meeting decided on payment of a dividend of EUR 0.12
per share. Also the amendments of the Articles of Association were approved in
this first proceeding.

A total of 2,716 shareholders were present in person or represented by proxy at
the EGM, representing 22.3 million shares, or 13.5 per cent of the total. The
meeting was chaired by Carl-Henrik Wallin, Attorney at Law.

DIVIDEND PAYMENT

The EGM decided that an extra dividend of EUR 0.12 per restricted/free share
would be paid for 2003. This dividend will be paid to all shareholders entered in
the shareholders' register on the matching date, 5 October, 2004. The pay-out
date will be 12 October, 2004.

AMENDMENTS OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board of Directors' proposal to amend sections 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 15 and
19 of the Articles of Association were approved as presented. The proposal in its
entirety was published on 20 August 2004 in a Stock Exchange Release.

This approval was the first decision required by the section 19 in the Articles
of Association. If the Annual General Meeting in 2005 approves the proposal with
the same content, the new Articles of Association can be expected to be entered
in the Trade Register and thus in force in April 2005.
