Aspocomp Group Oyj   Company Announcement  February 18, 2008 at 1:10
pm

21 former employees of Aspocomp Group Oyj's French subsidiary
Aspocomp S.A.S., who were not involved in the previous litigation in
France, have raised claims against Aspocomp Group Oyj in French
court. The total amount of the claims is about 750.000 euros. The
hearings in French Court will be held on winter and spring 2008.

Aspocomp Group Oyj announced on June 20, 2007 that with its decisions
of June 19, 2007 the French Supreme Court has upheld the former
decisions of the Rouen appellate court, announced in March 2005, in
the legal case initiated by Aspocomp S.A.S's former employees against
Aspocomp Group Oyj. Aspocomp Group Oyj was ordered to pay
approximately EUR 11 million, added by annual interest of about 7 per
cent, to former employees of Aspocomp SAS. The case relates to the
closing of the heavily unprofitable Aspocomp S.A.S. in 2002 and the
dismissals that ensued.
