Salcomp Plc Stock Exchange Release 7 January 2009 at 14:30 Finnish time SALCOMP TO CONTINUE ADJUSTING ITS OPERATIONS Salcomp continues to adjust its operations in order to meet the weakened demand in the mobile phone charger market. Adjusting measures are targeted to safeguard company profitability and competitiveness. In addition, the target is to enhance cooperation between Sales and R&D functions by rearranging the organization structure. In the Finnish activities Salcomp will immediately start codetermination negotiations on temporary lay-offs and/or shortened working weeks during the first quarter of the year. The codetermination negotiations will concern some 50 people in Finland, including some 4-6 people who will remain without work due to the rearrangement of the organization structure and decrease in amount of work. In order to meet the changed demand situation, production has already been adjusted during the last part of the year 2008 at Salcomp plants in China, India and Brazil, among other things by reducing working shifts. Due to these measures, the number of Salcomp personnel has decreased to 7,025 people at the end of 2008, being 9,722 people at the end of 2007. Adjusting measures concerning operations and other activities will continue in China, India and Brazil in 2009 according to the demand.
