Rautaruukki Corporation Stock Exchange Release 30 January 2009 at 11.40 Frame delivery for football stadium in St Petersburg to be re-tendered Materialisation of the approximately EUR 100 million contract, signed by Rautaruukki in February 2008, to deliver steel structures for the new Zenit football stadium in St Petersburg, Russia has turned out to be uncertain. For reasons beyond Ruukki's control, the project start has been postponed several times. The main contractor of the project has changed and the new contractor is re-tendering the frame delivery. Ruukki had not started making the steel structures for the Zenit project and has thus not incurred costs as a result of the project. Ruukki is negotiating about the delivery, but there is currently no certainty that the project will continue as far as Ruukki is concerned. Ruukki announced the matter in a stock exchange bulletin dated 22 February 2008.
