Raisio plc Stock Exchange Release 29 August 2008 NO AMENDMENT TO RAISIO'S TAXATION FOR 2004 The Helsinki Administrative Court has handled the appeal filed by the representative of the Tax Office for Major Corporations concerning the taxation of the sales profit resulting from the divestment of Raisio Chemicals in 2004. The Administrative Court's decision coincides with the original decision made by the Tax Office for Major Corporations in the company's regular taxation, as well as that later made by the Assessment Adjustment Board. According to the decision, the sales profit of approximately EUR 220 million is free of tax. The Administrative Court's decision will take legal effect within 60 days from its announcement, unless the representative of the tax recipients applies for leave to appeal and amendment from Supreme Administrative Court.
