Metso Corporation's American Depositary Shares (ADSs) have been
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange effective today. Company's
ADSs continue to trade on the OTC market under the ticker symbol
MXCYY.

Metso expects to complete the delisting and deregistration process
during 2007. Metso intends to file a Form 15F with the SEC on
September 17 to terminate its Section 12(g) registration and Section
13(a) and Section 15(d) reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
Upon the filing of Form 15F a 90-day waiting period is triggered
during which time the SEC could object to the filing. At the end of
the 90-day waiting period, such suspension becomes a termination,
provided that the SEC does not raise objections or the Form 15F is
not earlier withdrawn by Metso. Metso reserves the right to delay the
filing of the Form 15F or withdraw the Form 15F for any reason prior
to its effectiveness.


Metso is a global engineering and technology corporation with 2006
net sales of approximately EUR 5 billion. Its 26,000 employees in
more than 50 countries serve customers in the pulp and paper
industry, rock and minerals processing, the energy industry and
