ETTEPLAN TO ACQUIRE ITS OWN SHARES

Etteplan Oyj's Board of Directors has today decided to initiate a 
share buyback of maximum of 80,000 own shares in accordance with
the authorisation given to it at the Annual General Meeting on 
29 March 2006. The number of acquired shares shall not exceed 
ten per cent (10%) of the Company's share capital and of the 
number of voting shares.

Shares will be bought back in public trading on the Helsinki Stock 
Exchange for the market price quoted at the time of the buyback, 
as provided by the regulations on public trading of shares.

In accordance with the authorisation, the shares may be acquired
in order to be used as consideration in potential company 
acquisitions or in other structural arrangements. The acquired 
shares may also be invalidated.

The acquisition of company's own shares will start at the earliest 
in a week from the announcement of this Board of Director's decision.

Etteplan will use Evli Bank Plc as its broker.
