Stock Exchange Release 10/2/2009 15:45 Sanoma would like to correct its previous Stock Exchange Release related to the notice to the Annual General Meeting of Sanoma Corporation published earlier today. The date regarding the authorisation to repurchase of the Company's own shares was wrong. The correct wording is: it is proposed that the authorisation be effective until 30 June 2010.
