Vacon Plc, Stock Exchange Release, 27 May 2015 at 16.50 (EET)

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted, upon application from Vacon Plc ("Vacon"), an exemption from the duty to publish Q2/2015 interim report, Q3/2015 interim report, the financial statements bulletin for the period 1 January to 31 December 2015 and financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors as well as the auditor's report for the period 1 January to 31 December 2015. Vacon's shares were delisted from Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ltd's official list on 15 May 2015.

In its decision, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has taken into account that in the squeeze-out proceedings under Chapter 18 of the Finnish Limited Liabilities Companies Act, the redemption price is determined based on the fair price of the share before the initiation of arbitral proceedings, and that Vacon has published an interim report covering the period during which the arbitral proceedings became pending. The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has deemed that the exemption does not jeopardize the position of the investors.
