Elektrobit (EB) rationalizes its operations in the Wireless Business Segment in
Finland

Elektrobit  (EB)  has  concluded  personnel  negotiations,  started  on November
6, 2014, in its Wireless Business Segment in Finland in order to centralize some
its operations more in Oulu and to focus the roles of its offices in Finland. EB
has  decided to terminate the employment  contracts of a maximum of 19 employees
in  its sites in Kajaani and Tampere. For a few employees, EB will alternatively
offer  new positions  in Oulu.  With these  actions EB  will achieve annual cost
savings  of  approximately  EUR  1 million,  from the beginning of 2015 onwards.
Currently, the Wireless Business Segment has 465 employees in Finland.

These  cost  saving  actions  will  cause  non-recurring costs of about EUR 0.4
million  that will  weaken the  operating result  of the  last quarter of 2014.
Financial impacts of the planned actions are taken into account in the company's
outlook  for  2014 presented  in  the  interim  report  January-September 2014,
published  on  November  6, 2014, available  on  the company's internet pages at
www.elektrobit.com.
