('MCFE'), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy In-dustries, Ltd., announced on 23 October 2008 a public tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Rocla Oyj ('Rocla') that are not owned by Rocla and not already owned by MCFE or its group companies (the 'Tender Offer'). The offer period under the Tender Offer commenced on 10 November 2008 and ended on 12 December 2008. According to the final result of the Tender Offer notified by MCFE, the shares tendered in the Tender Offer, together with the Rocla shares already owned by MCFE, represent approximately 98.6 per cent of all the shares and voting rights in Rocla. Together with the treasury shares owned by Rocla, these shares represent approximately 99.3 per cent of all the shares and voting rights in Rocla. All the outstanding option rights have been tendered into the Tender Offer. MCFE has announced that it will complete the Tender Offer in accordance with its terms and conditions. Since MCFE has announced that the conditions to completion have been satisfied and that the Tender Offer will be completed in accordance with its terms and conditions, Rocla will file with the Trade Register a notification to register a resolution passed by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on 1 December 2008, whereby the General Meeting resolved to amend the Articles of Association so that the redemption clause in Article 12 will be abolished. The amendment of the Articles of Association enters into force after it has been registered with the Trade Register. The Tender Offer consideration will be paid to the shareholders and option holders who have validly accepted the Tender Offer on or about 23 December 2008. MCFE's intention is to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares in Rocla. As MCFE's ownership in Rocla upon the settlement of the completion trades will exceed 90 per cent of the shares in Rocla and of the total votes attached thereto, MCFE will initiate redemption proceedings for the remaining shares in Rocla under the Finnish Companies Act.
