The sellers are the management of the company from whom Etteplan 
buys 100 % share of ownership and a corresponding share of voting 
right in the company. The transaction is made partly in form of 
share swap and partly in cash. Etteplan will prepare a share issue
for the contract price payment. Mr. Vesa Junttila, the Managing 
Director of LCA Engineering Oy, Mr. Mikko Moisala, the Chief Design
Engineer of LCA Engineering Oy and the entire personnel continue 
in their present position in their tasks in the company.

been annually on average EUR 3 million and the company's operation
has been profitable. The condition for the realization of the 
contract is that in the financial position of LCA Engineering Oy 
does not occur anything abnormal in the Due Diligence, performed
at a later date.

The signed agreement follows Etteplan's strategy, according to 
which the company continuously develops its operations for its 
customers' changing needs. The agreement will strengthen 
Etteplan's position especially in wood-processing industry 
projects as well as in investment projects in Russia.
