The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has approved a supplement to the prospectus prepared for the combination of Outotec and the Metso Minerals Business - Seite 4

Outotec and Metso are Finnish companies. The transaction, including the information distributed in connection with the demerger and the related shareholder votes, is subject to disclosure, timing and procedural requirements applicable in Finland, which are different from those in the United States. The financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which may not be comparable to the financial statements or financial information applicable in the United States or by U.S. companies.

The new shares in Outotec have not been and will not be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system in the United States. Neither Outotec nor Metso intends to take any action to facilitate a market in the new shares in Outotec in the United States.

The new shares in Outotec have not been approved or disapproved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any other regulatory authority in the United States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed comment upon, or endorsed the merit of, the demerger or the accuracy or the adequacy of this release. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

It may be difficult for U.S. shareholders of Metso to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under U.S. federal or state securities laws, since Outotec and Metso are located in Finland, and all or some of their officers and directors are residents of, non-U.S. jurisdictions. Judgements of U.S. courts are generally not enforceable in Finland. U.S. shareholders of Metso may not be able to sue Outotec or Metso or their respective officers and directors in a court in Finland for violations of the U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws, or at the least it may prove to be difficult to evidence such claims. Further, it may be difficult to compel Outotec or Metso and their affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction of a U.S. court. In addition, there is substantial doubt as to the enforceability in Finland in original actions, or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.
