The IPO of Terveystalo Plc has been oversubscribed and the listing will be completed as planned

The Board of Directors of Terveystalo Plc ("Terveystalo" or the "Company") has today decided together with the Selling Shareholders (as defined below) on the completion of the Offering (as defined below). The subscription price for the Offer Shares (as defined below) was EUR 9.76 per share in the Institutional Offering and the Public Offering (as defined below), and EUR 8.79 per share in the Personnel Offering (as defined below), which in total corresponds to a market capitalization of the Company of approximately EUR 1,250 million immediately following the Offering. Demand from Finnish and international investors was strong in the Offering and the Offering was multiple times oversubscribed. Trading of the Company's shares is expected to commence on the prelist of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (the "Helsinki Stock Exchange") on or about October 11, 2017.

Terveystalo will issue in the share issue (the "Share Issue") a total of 10,281,249 new shares in the Company (the "New Shares"), corresponding to approximately 8.0 percent of the Company's shares and votes after the Share Issue. In addition, Lotta Holding I S.à r.l. ("EQT") (a company ultimately owned by the fund EQT VI managed by EQT VI (General Partner) LP, together with associated co-investment vehicles) and certain other existing shareholders in the Company (together with EQT, the "Selling Shareholders") are offering existing shares in the Company (the "Sale Shares") for sale (the "Share Sale", and together with the Share Issue the "Offering"). EQT has decided, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offering, to increase the number of Sale Shares by 5,122,433 Sale Shares, due to which the total number of Sale Shares is 67,811,543. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the New Shares, the Sale Shares and the Additional Shares (as defined below) are referred to together herein as the "Offer Shares".

4,000,000 Offer Shares will be allocated to private individuals and entities in Finland (the ''Public Offering'') and 85,451,054 Offer Shares will be allocated in private placements to institutional investors in Finland and internationally including in the United States of America (the ''United States'') to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the ''U.S. Securities Act'') (the "Institutional Offering"), assuming the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below). All offers and sales outside the United States have been made in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. The commitments given in the Public Offering will be accepted in full for up to 100 Offer Shares and for approximately 41.8 percent of the subscription commitments exceeding this amount. The commitments given in the Public Offering by persons working in the Company as healthcare professionals under a private practitioner agreement will be accepted in full for up to 10,000 Offer Shares and for approximately 41.8 percent of the subscription commitments exceeding this amount.

Terveystalo will issue 355,656 New Shares to permanent employees of the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries in Finland during the subscription period and the members of the Board of Directors of Terveystalo (the "Personnel Offering"). The subscription price per share in the Personnel Offering was ten percent lower than the subscription price in the Institutional Offering and the Public Offering, i.e. EUR 8.79. Due to oversubscription, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to increase the number of the New Shares to be offered in the Personnel Offering from the preliminary maximum of 120,000 New Shares to the above-mentioned 355,656 New Shares. The commitments given in the Personnel Offering will be accepted in full.

The Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately EUR 100 million from the Offering, and the Selling Shareholders will receive gross proceeds of approximately EUR 776 million assuming that all Sale Shares are sold and that the Over-Allotment Option is fully exercised. The total number of the Company's outstanding shares amounts to 128,036,531 shares after the completion of the share class combination and the issuance of shares without payment in proportion to shareholdings (share split) in connection with the Listing (as defined below) and the registration of the New Shares with the Trade Register (on or about October 11, 2017). The total number of shareholders will increase to over 12,000 shareholders after the Offering.

Offer Shares issued in the Public Offering and the Personnel Offering will be recorded on or about October 11, 2017 in the book-entry accounts of investors who have made an approved commitment. In the Institutional Offering, the Offer Shares will be ready to be delivered against payment on or about October 13, 2017 at the latest through Euroclear Finland Ltd.

A confirmation letter regarding the approval of the commitments and allocation of the Offer Shares will be sent as soon as possible and on or about October 17, 2017 at the latest to all investors who have submitted their commitments in the Public Offering and the Personnel Offering. Any excess payments made in connection with the commitments will be refunded to investors' bank accounts approximately five (5) business days after the decision on the completion of the Offering took place (i.e. on or about October 17, 2017). If an investor's bank account is in a different bank than the subscription place, the refund will be paid to a Finnish bank account in accordance with the payment schedule of the financial institutions, approximately no later than two (2) banking days thereafter.

Trading of the Company's shares is expected to commence on the prelist of the Helsinki Stock Exchange on or about October 11, 2017 and on the official list on or about October 13, 2017 (the "Listing"). The share trading code of the shares is "TTALO" and ISIN code FI4000252127.
