HK Ruokatalo Group Oyj RELEASE 28 February 2007, at 4pm TAMPERE PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS HK Ruokatalo Group and LSO Osuuskunta have sold a property located in the Rahola industrial district of Tampere. The sale concerns HK Ruokatalo’s meat processing plant and distribution terminal along with a smallish office building and land areas. The size of the plot is approximately 34,000 square metres. HK Ruokatalo has leased the buildings until March 2008. The property was sold at book value and the transaction thus gives rise to no additional income or expenses to HK Ruokatalo Group. Sale of the property is part of the company’s restructuring programme in Finland which includes the plan to discontinue meat processing and distribution terminal operations in Tampere by the beginning of 2008. Overall, the restructuring is estimated to deliver annual costs savings of some 15–20 million euros. HK Ruokatalo Group Oyj Kai Seikku CEO Further information: CEO Kai Seikku and CFO Matti Perkonoja.
