POWERFLUTE

APPLICATION FOR DELISTING FROM FIRST NORTH FINLAND

Powerflute Oyj ("Powerflute" or the "Company"), the packaging and paper group, announces that further to the intention expressed in its preliminary results announcement made on 15 March 2012, it has today submitted a formal application to the Helsinki Stock Exchange for the removal of the Company's shares from trading on First North Finland, the alternative investment market of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki ("First North"), with effect from the end of June 2012.

Since February 2008, the Company's shares have been listed on both First North and the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). Following careful consideration of the merits or otherwise of maintaining the dual listing status, it has been concluded that the interests of shareholders will be best served if trading in the Company's shares is concentrated on its primary listing on AIM.

Further details of how the proposed delisting from First North will affect shareholders and the options available to them, including details of the actions that must be taken by shareholders to facilitate trading of shares through AIM, will be communicated once confirmation of the timetable and any conditions associated with the delisting have been received from the Helsinki Stock Exchange.
