The Board of Directors of Terveystalo may, however, resolve to permit the transfer of the Option Rights also before the commencement of the share subscription period. The Board of Directors of Terveystalo has accordingly on 21 January 2009 resolved to grant a permission to the holders of Option Rights to transfer the Option Rights to the Offeror by accepting the Tender Offer and tendering the Option Rights into the Tender Offer despite the transfer restrictions contained in the terms and conditions of the Option Rights. 1.2 Offer Price The Share Offer Price for each Share validly tendered in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer is EUR 2.00 in cash.

If the Offeror extends the Offer Period, the Offer Period will expire on the date and at the time to which the Offeror extends the Offer Period unless the extended Offer Period is discontinued as set forth below. The maximum duration of the Offer Period (including any extended Offer Period) is ten (10) weeks. However, if the Conditions to Completion (as defined below) have not been fulfilled due to a particular obstacle such as, for example, pending competition clearances, the Offeror may extend the Offer Period beyond ten (10) weeks until such obstacle has been removed and the Offeror has had a reasonable time to respond to the situation. The date of the expiry of the extended Offer Period will in such case be published at least two (2) weeks before such expiry. Further, any Subsequent Offer Period may extend beyond ten (10) weeks. The Offeror may discontinue any extended Offer Period should all the Conditions to Completion be fulfilled or waived by the Offeror before the expiry of the extended Offer Period and execute the sale and purchase of the Shares and Option Rights validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with sections 1.9 and 1.10 below. Should the Offeror discontinue the extended Offer Period, the Offeror will announce its decision thereon as soon as possible after such decision has been made and in any case at least one (1) week before the expiry of the extended Offer Period to be discontinued. If the Offeror discontinues the extended Offer Period, the extended Offer Period will expire on such earlier date and at the time indicated in such announcement made by the Offeror. 1.4 Conditions to Completion of the Tender Offer The obligation of the Offeror to accept the Shares and Option Rights validly tendered and to complete the Tender Offer shall be subject to the fulfilment or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver by the Offeror of the following conditions ("Conditions to Completion") on or prior to the date of Offeror's announcement of the final result of the Tender Offer: 1) the valid tender of Shares representing, together with any Shares that the Offeror may otherwise have acquired, more than 90 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares and voting rights of Terveystalo; 2) the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, permits and consents, including competition clearances, on terms acceptable to the Offeror; 3) no event, circumstance or change having occurred after the Announcement that results in or constitutes, or that can reasonably be expected to result in or constitute, a Material Adverse Change (as defined below); 4) the Offeror not, after the Announcement, having received information previously undisclosed to it that has resulted in or constituted, or that can reasonably be expected to result in or constitute, a Material Adverse Change (as defined below); 5) no court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction having given an order or issued any regulatory action preventing, postponing or materially challenging the completion of the Tender Offer; 6) the Board of Directors of Terveystalo having issued its complete statement regarding the Tender Offer (as required by the Finnish Securities Market Act) within two banking days after the Announcement recommending the shareholders and holders of Option Rights to accept the Tender Offer and such recommendation remaining in force and not being modified or changed; 7) the Transaction Agreement not having been terminated and remaining in force; and 8) the facilities under Terveystalo's Refinancing Facilities Agreement remaining available in accordance with the terms and conditions of said agreement.

The Offeror reserves the right to waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any of the Conditions to Completion that have not been fulfilled. 1.5 Obligation to increase the Tender Offer or to pay compensation The Offeror reserves the right to acquire Shares outside of the Tender Offer in public trading on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki or otherwise at a price not exceeding the Share Offer Price of EUR 2.00. If the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 6, Section 10, Subsection 2 of the Finnish Securities Market Act acquires, before the expiry of the Offer Period, Shares or Option Rights at a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Right Offer Price or otherwise at terms that are more favourable than those of the Tender Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter 6, Section 13 of the Finnish Securities Market Act amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer to correspond to those of such acquisition (obligation to increase the offer). The Offeror shall then, without delay, make public the triggering of such obligation to increase the offer and pay, in connection with the payment of the Share Offer Price and the Option Right Offer Price, the difference between the consideration paid in such acquisition made at more favourable terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer. If the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 6, Section 10, Subsection 2 of the Finnish Securities Market Act acquires, during the nine (9) months following the expiry of the Offer Period, Shares or Option Rights in Terveystalo at a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Right Offer Price or otherwise on terms that are more favourable than those of the Tender Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter 6, Section 13 of the Finnish Securities Market Act compensate those holders of securities who have accepted the Tender Offer for the amount equal to the difference between the acquisition on more favourable terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer (obligation to compensate). The Offeror shall then, without delay, make public the triggering of the obligation to compensate and pay the difference between the consideration paid in such acquisition at more favourable terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer within one month after the triggering of such obligation to the holders of securities who have accepted the Tender Offer. According to Chapter 6, Section 13, Subsection 5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act, the obligation to compensate shall, however, not be triggered in case the payment of a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Right Offer Price is based on an arbitral award pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act, provided that the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 6, Section 10, Subsection 2 of the Finnish Securities Market Act has not offered to acquire Shares or Option Rights on terms that are more favourable than those of the Tender Offer before or during the arbitral proceedings. 1.6 Acceptance Procedure of the Tender Offer Shares Most of the Finnish book-entry account operators will send a notification of the Tender Offer, including instructions and the related acceptance form to their customers who are registered as shareholders in the shareholders' register of the Company.
