The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted upon the application of Stonesoft Corporation ("Stonesoft") an exemption from the duty to publish financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors from the year 2013 and the financial statements bulletin from the period January 1 to December 31, 2013. The listing of Stonesoft shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd was terminated on 20.11.2013.

In its decision, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has taken into account, among other things, the fact that in the redemption proceedings under Chapter 18 of the Finnish Companies Act the redemption price is determined based on the fair price of the share before the initiation of the arbitral proceedings, and that Stonesoft has published an interim report covering the first nine months of the accounting period that started on January 1, 2013, during which time the arbitral proceedings became pending. Since the arbitral proceedings were initiated during the said period, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has determined that the exemption concerning subsequent reporting periods does not jeopardize the position of the investors.
