The IPO in brief:
- In light of the subscription undertakings received from Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Hartwall Capital Ltd, Rettig Group Ltd, Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company (the "Cornerstone Investors") and other pricing considerations, the Company and EQT have set a fixed subscription price of EUR 9.76 per share (the "Subscription Price") for the IPO.
- The Company aims to raise gross proceeds of approximately EUR 100 million by offering a minimum of 10,245,902 and a maximum of 10,305,533 new shares in the Company (the "New Shares") for subscription (the "Share Issue").
- The market capitalisation of the Company is approximately EUR 1,250 million assuming that a maximum number of the New Shares are offered and subscribed for in the IPO.
- Lotta Holding I S.à r.l. ("EQT") and certain other existing shareholders of the Company (together with EQT, the "Selling Shareholders") are offering preliminarily a maximum of 62,689,110 existing shares in the Company (the "Sale Shares" and together with the New Shares the "Offer Shares") for sale (the "Share Sale"). EQT may decide to increase the number of Sale Shares by a maximum of 5,122,433 Sale Shares.
- The IPO consists of (i) a public offering to private individuals and entities in Finland (the "Public Offering"), (ii) private placements to institutional investors in Finland and internationally (the "Institutional Offering"), and (iii) a personnel offering to all permanent employees of the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries in Finland during the subscription period, the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO of Terveystalo (the "Personnel Offering"). Only New Shares will be offered in the Personnel Offering at a subscription price which is lower than the Subscription Price. When allocating the Offer Shares in the Public Offering, the Company may prioritize persons who work in the Company as healthcare professionals and who are not entitled to participate in the Personnel Offering.
- The Offer Shares (excluding 5,122,433 Sale Shares which may be sold in addition to the preliminary maximum number of Sale Shares by a decision of EQT) represent approximately 57.0 percent of the Company's shares (the "Shares") and votes after the Share Issue (excluding any Additional Shares based on the Over-Allotment Option as defined below) assuming that a maximum number of New Shares are offered and subscribed for in the IPO. The Offer Shares (including 5,122,432 Sale Shares which may be sold in addition to the preliminary maximum number of Sale Shares by a decision of EQT) represent approximately 61.0 percent of the Shares and votes after the Share Issue, assuming that a maximum number of New Shares are offered and subscribed for in the IPO, and approximately 70.1 percent of the Shares and votes after the Share Issue if also the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) is fully exercised.
- In connection with the IPO, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and other existing shareholders will be subject to a 180-day lock up and members of management and the Board of Directors of the Company to a 360-day lock up in respect of Shares held.

- The extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of the Company held on September 26, 2017 resolved that the Company's six share classes will be combined into one single class of shares subject to the completion of the Listing. Following the combination of the share classes, each Share in the Company will carry one vote at the Company's general meeting. The EGM further authorized the Board of Directors to, among other, issue new shares to current shareholders in relation to their holdings without consideration (the "Share Split"). The pre-IPO number of Shares in this announcement means the Company's Shares after the share class combination and the Share Split.

Yrjö Närhinen, CEO of Terveystalo comments:
"Terveystalo has demonstrated a strong track record of growth in recent years - we are the largest private healthcare provider in Finland based on revenue and the number of clinics. The contemplated listing is a great opportunity for us to fortify our shareholder base in Finland and to strengthen our prerequisites for continued profitable growth. We also want to remain at the forefront of measuring the impact of treatment and publishing of results of medical quality in Finland as well as digital services. Our quality- and customer-centric business model is both a pride and a competitive advantage for us: our target is to be a forerunner in Finnish healthcare."
Background and reasons for the IPO
The objective of the contemplated IPO and Listing is to improve the Company's ability to successfully pursue its strategy and invest in its business in order to remain at the forefront of developing the standards of the quality and impact of treatment and publishing of results of medical quality in Finland, which the Company expects to drive long-term growth for the Company. The contemplated IPO and Listing would serve to increase the general interest towards the Company and awareness of the Company with investors, business partners and customers, enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain key management and employees, provide the Company an access to capital markets and broaden the ownership base in the Company. The IPO and Listing also enable the Selling Shareholders to partially monetize their holding, and allow for a liquid market for the Shares going forward.
The net proceeds from the IPO are expected to be used toward a partial repayment of some of the existing loans of the Company. The Company estimates additionally that the funds raised through the Share Issue will enable increasing financial flexibility for the Company to pursue growth opportunities in accordance with its strategy, including acquisitions, organic expansion and reorganization of its units and equipment, as well as their capital expenditure.
