Aspocomp Group Oyj Company Announcement June 20, 2007 at 9:35 am

With its decisions of June 19, 2007 the French Supreme Court has upheld the former decisions of the Rouen appellate court, announced in March 2005, in the legal case initiated by Aspocomp S.A.S’s former employees against Aspocomp Group Oyj. The case relates to the closing of the heavily unprofitable Aspocomp S.A.S. in 2002 and the dismissals that ensued.

According to the decisions of the Rouen appellate court, Aspocomp Group Oyj was ordered to pay approximately EUR 11 million, added by annual interest of about 7 per cent, to former 388 employees of Aspocomp SAS. To date, the interest amounts to approximately EUR 2.1 million.

Aspocomp will decide on and publish further measures after having examined the decision and its grounds.
