CEO and Founder of Kamux Corporation, Juha Kalliokoski:

"Kamux's business model is based on omni-channel presence through a combination of digital presence and car showroom network, professional procurement and sale of used cars, low fixed costs, rapid inventory turnover, and sales of integrated services. Our vision is to be the leading car retail chain in Europe specializing in the sale of used cars and to continue growing as one of the successful, internationalized Nordic retail concepts. The Listing will support this vision. As the founder of the Company I have been with Kamux since the beginning, and for me, the Listing means the continuation of work together with new shareholders. I intend to remain as a significant owner also after listing, as my objective is to develop the Company further and create long-term shareholder value."

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation, Matti Virtanen:

"Kamux has developed a strong retail concept where the focus is 100% on used cars, and customers are presented with an offering that serves their needs. The Company's history of strong, profitable growth shows the viability of the business model. The Listing is expected to increase Kamux's recognition and trust in Kamux among the public and cooperation partners and as an employer and support its strategy of continuing strong growth in Finland and internationally. Capital raised from the Listing enable more sizeable investments in growth and internationalization as well as deepening of the digital customer experience. Kamux aims to be a forerunner in the digitalization of used car retailing"

CEO of Intera Partners and Member of the Board of Directors of Kamux Corporation, Jokke Paananen:

"Intera is proud of the work Kamux has done in developing a new approach and concept in a traditional market. We foresee a huge opportunity in Kamux's well-organized and customer-centric business model also going forward, and we will continue as a significant owner also after the Listing. We wish to welcome new investors to become part of the Kamux growth story."

Background and reasons for the Offering

The objective of the contemplated Offering is to support Kamux's growth strategy and internationalization by increasing Kamux's visibility in Finland and abroad, which is expected to increase Kamux's recognition and trust in Kamux among the public and cooperation partners and as an employer. The Offering will enable the Company to obtain access to capital markets, expand its ownership base and increase the liquidity of the Shares. Through the listing, the Shares can also be used to reward Kamux's personnel and management.

Use of Proceeds

The Company will receive gross proceeds of approximately 21 million from the Share Issue (calculated based on the mid-point of the Preliminary Price Range and assuming that the Share Issue is fully subscribed for). The proceeds raised by the Company through the Share Issue will be used to support Kamux's growth strategy, including to finance Kamux's expansion and internationalization, such as working capital and growth of car inventory, and to strengthen Kamux's business operations, through further development of the digital customer experience as well as increased utilization of the Company's database, internal systems and tools for analysis to support the Kamux concept.

Information on the Offering

The Company is offering up to 2,852,853 New Shares for subscription to institutional investors outside of the United States and to private individuals and entities in Finland as well as to the permanent employees of Kamux and the members of the Board of Directors of Kamux. The Shares are offered in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right in order to enable the listing of the Shares on the official list of the Helsinki Stock Exchange (the "Listing"). The Board of Directors of the Company is expected to resolve on or about May 11, 2017 on the final subscription price and the number of New Shares to be issued in the Share Issue.

The payment made to the Company for the approved New Share subscription will be booked in its entirety in the invested unrestricted equity fund. Thus, the Company's share capital will not increase in connection with the Share Issue. As a result of the Share Issue, the number of the Shares may increase to up to 39,987,294 Shares. The New Shares issued in the Share Issue represent a maximum of approximately 7.1 percent of the Shares and votes after the Share Issue, assuming that the Share Issue is fully subscribed for excluding the Sale Shares that Intera may sell in addition to the preliminary maximum number of Sale Shares.

The Sellers will offer for purchase initially a maximum of 10,097,366 Sale Shares to institutional investors outside of the United States. Shares offered in the Share Sale represent approximately 25.3 percent of the Shares and votes without the Over-allotment Option (approximately 30.1 percent with the Over-allotment Option) after the Share Issue, assuming that the Share Issue is fully subscribed for excluding the Sale Shares that Intera may sell in addition to the preliminary maximum number of Sale Shares.

If the Offering is not subscribed for in full and the Offering would nevertheless be completed, the subscriptions would be allocated firstly to New Shares, and, thereafter, the number of Sale Shares would be reduced on a pro rata basis to correspond to the number of Shares offered for purchase by the Sellers. Cornerstone investors have an allocation priority in the Offering.

Intera has agreed to grant to the Managers an over-allotment option, exercisable within 30 days from commencement of trading in the Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange (i.e., between approximately May 12, 2017 and June 10, 2017), to purchase or to procure purchasers, for up to 2,557,774 Additional Shares solely to cover over-allotments. The Additional Shares correspond to approximately 6.9 percent of the Shares and votes before the Offering and approximately 6.4 percent after the Offering, assuming that the Offered Shares (defined hereinafter) are fully subscribed for. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the New Shares, the Sale Shares and the Additional Shares are referred to herein as the "Offer Shares."
