A total of 29 823 078 new shares are offered for subscription at a subscription price of EUR 0.84 per share. Provided that the issue is fully subscribed for, approximately EUR 25 million in new equity will be raised through the issue. The offer shares to be issued represent up to 150 percent of the total shares and the voting rights of the company prior to the offering and 60 percent after the offering. The share issue is based on the authorization granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of January 19, 2007.

The shares will be offered for subscription to the shareholders of the company in proportion to their shareholding in the company. A shareholder or a shareholder whose shares are nominee-registered must be registered on the record date of the offering, March 21, 2007, in the shareholders’ register maintained by the Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd.

In the secondary subscription a shareholder or any other investor may subscribe for any offer shares that have been left unsubscribed for on the basis of the subscription rights. In case of oversubscription of the secondary subscription, i.e. when the commitments given to subscribe for shares exceed the number of shares offered for subscription, offer shares will be allocated primarily to shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings on the record date and up to the maximum commitment set out by each subscriber.

The subscription period commences on March 26, 2007.

EXERCISE OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

Primary Subscription

A shareholder or an investor may participate in the Offering by subscribing for Offer Shares pursuant to the Primary Subscription Rights registered on his or her book-entry account and by paying the Subscription Price. In order to participate in the Offering, a shareholder or an investor must submit a subscription assignment in accordance with the instructions given by his or her own custodian or account operator. Custodians or account operators notify the shareholders of the Offering and the submission of a subscription assignment in accordance with their own practices. Potential inquiries regarding the submission of a subscription assignment in the Primary Subscription should be primarily directed to the shareholder’s custodian or account operator. If a shareholder does not receive the subcription commitment from his own account operator (for example, if the Shares are maintained by the FCSD), the subscription commitment and personal reference number for the payment can be ordered from Evli, telephone number +358 9 4766 9931 or by email from operations@evli.com.

Shareholders and investors participating in the Offering, whose Shares or Primary Subscription Rights are held through a nominee (or other custodian), must submit their subscription assignments in accordance with the instructions given by their custodial nominee account holders.

Any exercise of the Primary Subscription Rights is irrevocable and may not be modified or cancelled otherwise than as stated in "Cancellation of Subscription under Certain Circumstances".

Any Primary Subscription Rights that have not been exercised at the latest by 4:00 p.m., Finnish time, on April 12, 2007, will expire.

Secondary Subscription

A shareholder or Third Party Investor wishing to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Secondary Subscription must notify the number of Offer Shares it commits to subscribe for in the Secondary Subscription. A separate subscription commitment form used in the subscription of the Offer Shares in the Secondary Subscription can be obtained from Evli, telephone number +358 9 4766 9931 or email operations@evli.com. A shareholder of the Company is not obliged to exercise all of its Primary Subscription Rights to be entitled to participate in the Secondary Subscription.

Any subscription commitment submitted in the Secondary Subscription is irrevocable and may not be modified or cancelled otherwise than as stated in "Cancellation of Subscription under Certain Circumstances".

Any Secondary Subscription Right that has not been exercised at the latest by 4:00 p.m., Finnish time, on April 13, 2007, will expire without any compensation.

Öhman J:or Fondkommission AB, Oy Hammaren & Co Ab, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Oy Finvestock Ab, Ramsay & Tuutti Oy Ab and Sampo Life Insurance Company.

CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTIONS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

Investors, who have undertaken to subscribe for the Offer Shares, are entitled to cancel their subscription according to the Finnish Securities Market Act in the event that the Offering Circular is supplemented due to a material mistake or inaccuracy relating to the information in the Offering Circular, which could affect the assessment of the Offer Shares. The subscription must be cancelled within two (2) banking days from the publication of the supplement to the Offering Circular. The Finnish Financial Supervision Authority ("FSA") has, for a special reason, a right to decide that the cancellation period is at least four (4) banking days. The cancellation right may only be used if the investor has undertaken to subscribe for the Offer Shares prior to the publication of the supplement to the Offering Circular and the supplement is published between the time the Offering Circular was approved by the FSA and the time when trading with the interim shares begins. The procedure allowing for the cancellation of subscriptions will be announced together with any such supplement to the Offering Circular through publishing a stock exchange release.

PUBLIC TRADING OF THE PRIMARY SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

The Primary Subscription Rights are freely transferable and will be publicly traded on the Helsinki Stock Exchange from March 26, 2007. The public trading of the Primary Subscription Rights will end on April 3, 2007. The available price on the Helsinki Stock Exchange for the Primary Subscription Rights will be determined in market trading. The Primary Subscription Rights may be acquired or transferred by giving purchase or selling orders to the holder’s own custodian or account operator or to any broker.

The trading symbol of the Primary Subscription Rights is ACG1VU0107.

PAYMENT FOR THE SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Subscription Price of the Offer Shares subscribed for in the Offering shall be paid in full at the time of subscription in accordance with the instructions given by the place of subscription or the relevant custodian or account operator.

APPROVAL OF THE SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Board of Directors of the Company will approve all subscriptions pursuant to the Primary Subscription Rights made in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Offering and applicable laws and regulations.

In cases other than Oversubscription of the Secondary Subscription, the Board of Directors of the Company will approve all subscriptions pursuant to the secondary Subscription Rights made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offering and applicable laws and regulations. In case of Oversubscription of the Secondary Subscription, the Offer Shares will be allocated primarily to shareholders subscribing for Offer Shares in the Secondary Subscription in proportion to their shareholdings on the Record Date.

The Company will publish the final result of the Offering in a stock exchange release on or about April 18, 2007.

REFUND OR PARTIAL REFUND OF SUBSCRIPTION PRICE IN THE SECONDARY SUBSCRIPTION

If the subscription commitment made in the Secondary Subscription is not approved or is approved only partially, the subscription payment made or a part thereof will be refunded to the Finnish bank account indicated in connection with the submission of the subscription commitment by the person who has submitted such subscription commitment, on or about the third (3) banking day, that is, on or about April 20, 2007, following the approval of the subscriptions by the Board of Directors of the Company. No interest will be paid on such refund.

PROCEDURE IN THE EVENT OF OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF THE SECONDARY SUBSCRIPTION

In the event the subscription commitments submitted in the Secondary Subscription exceed the number of Offer Shares available for subscription in the Secondary Subscription (i.e., the Offering is over-subscribed), the subscription commitments will be primarily approved in proportion to the shareholdings of the subscribers as of the Record Date, up to the maximum number of Offer Shares stated in the subscription commitment submitted by such subscriber. If the Offering is over-subscribed by the shareholders of the Company, no Offer Shares will be allocated to Third Party Investors who have committed to subscribe for Offer Shares in the Secondary Subscription. If the Offering is oversubscribed in such a manner that Offer Shares will be allocated also to Third Party Investors, the allocation of Offer Shares among the Third Party Investors will be made in proportion to the number of Offer Shares covered in the subscription commitments. The number of Offer Shares to which the shareholder is entitled will be rounded to whole Offer Shares in a manner to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. Several subscription commitments submitted by one shareholder or investor will be combined before the allocation of Offer Shares to form one subscription commitment.

FEES

No fees or other payments will be charged from the subscribers in connection with submission of a subscription commitment and subscription of Offer Shares. The account operator of each shareholder will charge a fee in accordance with its price list for the maintanance of the book-entry account. In addition, the account operators may charge a fee for the cancellation of subscriptions in the events mentioned above in "Cancellation of Subscriptions under Certain Circumstances".

REGISTRATION OF THE OFFER SHARES TO THE BOOK-ENTRY ACCOUNTS AND TRADING WITH THE OFFER SHARES

The Offer Shares issued in the Offering will be recorded into book-entry accounts as follows:

– Offer Shares that are subscribed for in the Primary Subscription will be recorded on the subscriber’s book-entry account after the registration of the subscription as interim shares (ISIN code FI0009015192, trading under the symbol ACG1VN0107) representing the Offer Shares. Trading with such interim shares will commence on the first trading day following the expiration of the Subscription Period with respect to the Primary Subscription Rights on or about April 13, 2007. The interim shares will be combined with the Company’s existing Shares (ISIN code FI0009008080, trading under the symbol ACG1V) when the Offer Shares have been registered with the Trade Register. Such combination is expected to occur on or about April 19, 2007.

– Offer Shares that are subscribed for in the Secondary Subscription will be recorded on the subscriber’s book-entry account as the same class of shares as the Company’s existing Shares as soon as practically possible after the subscription commitments submitted in the Secondary Subscription have been approved and the Offer Shares have been registered with the Trade Register. This is estimated to take place on April 19, 2007.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
The Offer Shares will entitle their holder to any future dividends declared by the Company and to other shareholder rights in the Company after the Offer Shares have been registered with the Trade Register, which is expected to take place on or about April 19, 2007.
