RAISIO TO REPLY TO THE ASSESSMENT ADJUSTMENT BOARD
Opinion of Raisio and its experts unchanged on the tax exempt of the sales
profits


Raisio plc has been informed by the Tax Office for Major Corporations that the
Representative of the Tax Authority has appealed against the 2004 regular
taxation, in which the tax authority had considered the sales profits of Raisio's
chemicals business to be free of tax.

Raisio sold its chemicals business to the Swiss company Ciba Specialty Chemicals
at a price of EUR 475 million. The sales profit of EUR 220 million was not taxed
in regular taxation. The firm opinion of Raisio is that the sales profit is free
of tax due to the corporate and capital tax approved in 2004. This opinion is
supported by earlier academic expert statements.

Raisio will issue its reply during March.
