THE SUPREME COURT GRANTED A LEAVE TO APPEAL TO TJ GROUP PLC


TJ Group Plc Stock Exchange Release January 17, 2008                            

The Supreme Court granted a leave to appeal to TJ Group Plc                     

The Supreme Court has today passed a decision, which grants a leave to appeal to
TJ Group Plc concerning the verdict given by the Helsinki Court of Appeal on    
July 5, 2007. A leave to appeal was now granted concerning the measurement of   
the corporate fine. With respect to the other grounds the leave to appeal will  
be decided together with the proceedings of the appeals. The prosecutor has also
been granted a leave to appeal.                                                 

The company is satisfied with the decision, because the company considers the   
verdict given by the Helsinki Court of Appeal last summer to be erroneous and   
unfounded.
