transaction is EUR 6.1 million and the one-off capital gain from it is EUR 3.5  
million, which will be recorded under other business income for the fourth      
quarter.                                                                        
                                                                                
The Beltton-Group companies will continue operating in the facilities at        
Manttaalitie, Vantaa, as usual. Beltton and Alpha I Oy have signed a long-term  
agreement on Beltton renting the facilities.                                    
                                                                                
The sale of the real estate and plot of land will have a positive effect on     
Beltton's financial results. The building sold to the subsidiary of EU Invest   
A/S comprises 4 460 m2 and the plot of land 7 943 m2. Beltton will continue to  
own a plot of land of 10 052 m2 in the immediate proximity of this plot, which  
has building rights for 5 412 m2 and which enables Beltton to expand its        
operations in the Veromies district of Vantaa.                                  
                                                                                
In accordance with its strategy, Beltton will use the gain from this transaction
for possible corporate arrangements and to strengthen its capital structure.    
”Being a company striving for profitable growth, company acquisitions are a key 
part of our strategy. Capital released with this real estate sale can be        
allocated to strengthening our capital structure, as well as potential company  
acquisitions. I believe that the sale and lease-back is a good solution for us, 
both strategically and in practice,” says Heikki Vienola, CEO of Beltton-Group  
Plc.                                                                            

The sale and lease-back agreement will be reported in accordance with the IFRS  
standards as stipulated in IAS 17. The lease agreement signed by Beltton will be
classified as an operating lease. The capital gain will be entered as income at 
the moment of signing the agreement and the generated rent expenses will be     
recognised as other business expenses during the lease period.
