the Tender Offer.  Symphony Group will provide equity financing for

shares of Aldata to be delisted from the Helsinki Stock Exchange as
soon as permitted and practicable under applicable laws and
regulations. Offeror has engaged Danske Markets Corporate Finance to
act as lead manager in the Tender Offer.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS                  BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Aldata's Board of Directors

Aldata issued a stock exchange release on 26 April 2007 stating that
Symphony Group, acting through Symphony Technology II-A, L.P., had
acquired a total of 20.089.125 shares in Aldata equaling to 29.29% of
the share capital and voting rights of Aldata. Symphony Group is in
control of the Offeror and therefore Offeror holds the said 29.29% of
the Shares in Aldata. Aldata's Board has evaluated the competence of
each of its members to participate in the preparation and decision
making in connection with the execution of the Combination Agreement.
The Board has noted that Symphony Group's managing director Mr.
William Chisholm ("Chisholm") and Symphony Group's adviser Mr.
Bertrand Sciard ("Sciard") are members of the Board. The Board's two
other members are Mr. Pekka Vennamo and Mr. Peter Titz (Chairman of
the Board). According to its evaluation and based on the
recommendation from outside legal counsel the Board has resolved that
Chisholm shall not participate in the preparation, evaluation or
decision-making of the Board regarding the Combination Agreement or
the subsequent Tender Offer and that Sciard shall not participate in
the preparation or evaluation of the Combination Agreement or the
subsequent Tender Offer but shall, however, participate in the
decision-making based on the evaluation of the non-conflicted Board
members Mr. Vennamo and Mr. Titz. Further, neither Chisholm nor
Sciard shall be given any information regarding third party competing
acquisition proposals, if any, until the non-conflicted Board members
have resolved to give such information to the Offeror.

The Board has acted solely through its non-conflicted and independent
members.

The Board has engaged an investment bank, Thomas Weisel Partners LLC
("TWP"), to provide an independent fairness opinion concerning the
Share Offer Price and the Warrant Offer Prices with respect to the
in-the-money Warrants. The fairness opinion rendered by TWP and
received by the Board supports the Share Offer Price and such Warrant
Offer Prices. Therefore, and based on other evaluations and
considerations made by the Board, the Board is of the opinion that
the Share Offer Price and the Warrant Offer Prices are sufficient and
supports the offered prices to the shareholders and holders of
Warrants of Aldata.

The Board will issue its opinion on the Tender Offer as stipulated in
the Securities Markets Act (the "SMA"), Chapter 6, Section 6 as soon
as possible after the Tender Offer document has been communicated to
Aldata in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 4 of the SMA (the"Opinion"). This Opinion will, among other things, address the Tender
Offer from the perspective of Aldata as the target company and the
holders of the Aldata's Shares and Warrants and the strategic plans
of the Offeror presented in the offer document and on the likely
effects thereof on the operations and employment of the Aldata.
