NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA OR HONG KONG OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE TENDER OFFER OR SUCH RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR REQUIRE OFFER DOCUMENTS, REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES IN ADDITION TO THOSE REQUIRED UNDER FINNISH LAW.

NSIG FINLAND WILL COMMENCE THE VOLUNTARY PUBLIC TENDER OFFER FOR ALL THE SHARES AND OPTION RIGHTS IN OKMETIC ON 22 APRIL 2016

As announced on 1 April 2016, National Silicon Industry Group ("NSIG") and Okmetic Oyj ("Okmetic" or the "Company") have on 1 April 2016 entered into a Combination Agreement pursuant to which NSIG, either directly or through its subsidiary, will make a voluntary public tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Okmetic that are not owned by Okmetic or any of its subsidiaries (the "Tender Offer"). The Tender Offer will be made by NSIG Finland S.á r.l (the "Offeror") which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of NSIG. 

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has today approved the tender offer document relating to the Tender Offer (the "Tender Offer Document"). The acceptance period under the Tender Offer will commence on 22 April 2016 at 9:30 a.m. Finnish time and expire on 27 May 2016 at 4:00 p.m. Finnish time (the "Offer Period"). The Offeror reserves the right to extend the Offer Period from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

The price offered for each share validly tendered in the Tender Offer will be EUR 9.20 in cash (the "Share Offer Price"). As agreed in the Combination Agreement entered into between NSIG and Okmetic, the dividend of EUR 0.65 per share declared by Okmetic's Annual General Meeting held on 7 April 2016 and paid to Okmetic's shareholders on 18 April 2016 (the "Dividend") does not reduce the Share Offer Price.

The Share Offer Price of EUR 9.20 per Okmetic share represents a premium of approximately 21.1 percent compared to the closing price of the Okmetic shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. ("Nasdaq Helsinki") on 31 March 2016, the last trading day before the announcement of the Tender Offer, a premium of approximately 30.2 percent compared to the volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on Nasdaq Helsinki during the 3-month period preceding the announcement of the Tender Offer and  a premium of approximately 29.7 percent compared to the volume-weighted average trading price of the shares during the 12-month period preceding the announcement of the Tender Offer. The Share Offer Price of EUR 9.20 together with the Dividend of EUR 0.65 per Okmetic share already paid to Okmetic's shareholders, EUR 9.85 in the aggregate, represents a premium of approximately 29.6 percent compared to the closing price of the shares on Nasdaq Helsinki on the last trading day before the announcement of the Tender Offer; and approximately 39.4 percent compared to the 3-month and approximately 38.9 percent compared to the 12-month volume-weighted average trading price of the shares on Nasdaq Helsinki preceding the announcement of the Tender Offer.

The price offered for option rights granted under Okmetic's 2013 option plan validly tendered in the Tender Offer will be EUR 4.87 in cash for each 2013 A option right and EUR 4.62 in cash for each 2013 B option right (jointly the "Option Offer Price") after the payment of the Dividend.

Certain of the largest shareholders of Okmetic, Accendo Capital SICAV SIF, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, Oy Ingman Finance Ab, Mandatum Life Insurance Company Limited and Kaleva Mutual Insurance Company, as well as the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Group of Okmetic, representing jointly approximately 29.9 percent of the outstanding shares and votes in Okmetic as well as 92.9 percent of the outstanding option rights, have, subject to certain customary conditions, irrevocably undertaken to accept the Tender Offer.

The Board of Directors of Okmetic, in order to support its assessment of the Tender Offer, has commissioned UBS Limited to provide an impartial fairness opinion concerning the Tender Offer. According to the fairness opinion, attached to the statement of Okmetic's Board of Directors and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out therein, the consideration offered in the Tender Offer is fair from the financial point of view for Okmetic's shareholders and the holders of its option rights. Having received the fairness opinion and evaluated the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and other available information, the Board of Directors of Okmetic has decided to unanimously recommend that the holders of shares and option rights accept the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer Document will be available from 22 April 2016 onwards in the Finnish language at the branch offices of Nordea Bank Finland Plc ("Nordea Bank"), at Nasdaq Helsinki, Fabianinkatu 14, FI-00130 Helsinki, Finland, and at the office of NSIG Finland at 19, rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, and on the internet at www.nordea.fi/osakkeet and www.okmetic.com/fi/sijoittajat/ostotarjous, and in the English language on the internet at www.nordea.fi/equities and www.okmetic.com/investors/tender-offer.

Most of the Finnish book-entry account operators will send a notification of the Tender Offer, including instructions and the relevant acceptance form to their customers who are registered as shareholders in the shareholders' register of Okmetic maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. ("Euroclear") or who are holders of option rights registered in the Finnish book-entry securities system. Shareholders or holders of option rights who do not receive such notification from their account operator or asset manager can contact any branch office of Nordea Bank where such shareholders or holders of option rights shall receive necessary information and can give their acceptance.

Nordea Bank will send a notification of the Tender Offer, including instructions and the relevant acceptance form, to all holders of option rights not registered in the Finnish book-entry securities system who are registered at the beginning of the Offer Period to the registry of holders of option rights held by the Company. If the holder of option rights does not receive such notification and acceptance form from Nordea Bank, or if the instructions and acceptance form cannot be sent because the address of the holder of option rights is unknown, the holder of option rights can contact the Company which shall instruct the holder of option rights on giving his/her acceptance.

A shareholder in Okmetic who is registered as a shareholder in the shareholders' register of Okmetic or a holder of option rights registered in the Finnish book-entry securities system who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall submit a properly completed and duly executed acceptance form to the account operator managing the holder's book-entry account in accordance with its instructions and within the time limit set by the account operator or, in the case such account operator does not accept acceptance forms (e.g. Euroclear), such shareholder or holder of option rights shall contact any branch office of Nordea Bank to give his/her acceptance to tender the shares or option rights.

A holder of option rights not registered in the Finnish book-entry securities system who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall submit a properly completed and duly executed acceptance form in accordance with the instructions and within the time limit set by Nordea Bank.

A shareholder or holder of option rights in Okmetic whose shares or option rights are registered in the name of a nominee and who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall affect such acceptance in accordance with the nominee's instructions.

The completion of the Tender Offer will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Offeror of certain conditions to completion in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

As permitted under Finnish law, the Offeror may purchase shares in Okmetic also on Nasdaq Helsinki or otherwise prior to or after the expiry of the Offer Period or potential extended or subsequent Offer Period, as the case may be, at a price not exceeding the Share Offer Price of EUR 9.20 per share. The Offeror may also, as permitted under Finnish law, purchase option rights in Okmetic prior to or after the expiry of the Offer Period or potential extended or subsequent Offer Period at a price not exceeding the relevant Option Offer Price.

The Offeror will announce the preliminary result of the Tender Offer on or about the first (1st) Finnish banking day following the expiry of the Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been extended or discontinued, the extended or discontinued Offer Period, and will announce the final result on or about the third (3rd) Finnish banking day following the expiry of the Offer Period or, if the Offer Period has been extended or discontinued, the extended or discontinued Offer Period. The announcement of the final result will confirm (i) the percentage of the shares and option rights that have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn and (ii) whether the Tender Offer will be completed.

The detailed terms and conditions of the Tender Offer have been enclosed in their entirety as an annex to this release (Annex 1).

2) no Material Adverse Change (as defined below) having occurred after 1 April 2016 and is still existing on the date when the other Conditions to Completion have been satisfied;

1) any Change in economic, market, regulatory, political or other similar conditions in general or affecting generally the industry in which Okmetic's group operates;

The Offeror reserves the right to waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any of the Conditions to Completion that have not been satisfied. According to the Combination Agreement, if the Offeror waives the Condition to Completion set out in section 1.4 a) and declares the Tender Offer unconditional, it shall ensure that there will be either a remaining period of at least ten (10) Business Days of the ongoing offer period or a Subsequent Offer Period of at least ten (10) Business Days following such a declaration.

If the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 11, Section 5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act acquires, before the expiry of the Offer Period, Shares or Option Rights at a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Offer Price or otherwise on terms that are more favorable than those of the Tender Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter 11, Section 25 of the Finnish Securities Market Act amend the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer to correspond to this acquisition on more favorable terms (obligation to increase the offer). The Offeror shall then, without delay, make public the triggering of the obligation to increase the offer and pay, in connection with the completion of the Tender Offer, and in addition to the Share Offer Price and the Option Offer Price, the difference between the more favourable acquisition terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer to the holders of securities who have accepted the Tender Offer.

If the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 11, Section 5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act acquires, during the nine (9) months following the expiry of the Offer Period, Shares or Option Rights at a higher price than the Share Offer Price or the Option Offer Price or otherwise on terms that are more favorable than those of the Tender Offer, the Offeror must according to Chapter 11, Section 25 of the Finnish Securities Market Act compensate those holders of securities who have accepted the Tender Offer for the amount equal to the difference between the more favorable acquisition terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer (obligation to compensate). The Offeror shall then, without delay, make public the triggering of the obligation to compensate and pay the difference between the more favorable acquisition terms and the consideration offered in the Tender Offer within one month after the triggering of the obligation to compensate to the holders of securities who have accepted the Tender Offer.

According to Chapter 11, Section 25, Subsection 5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act, the obligation to compensate shall, however, not be triggered in case the payment of a higher price than the Share Offer Price (or the Option Offer Price) is based on an arbitral award pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act, provided that the Offeror or any party referred to in Chapter 11, Section 5 of the Finnish Securities Market Act has not offered to acquire Shares (or Option Rights) on terms that are more favorable than those of the Tender Offer before or during the arbitral proceedings.

1.6  Acceptance Procedure of the Tender Offer

Shares

The Tender Offer must be accepted separately for each book-entry account. A shareholder of the Company must have a cash account in a financial institution operating in Finland or abroad. A shareholder may only accept the Tender Offer unconditionally and for every Share on the book-entry account mentioned in the acceptance form on the date of the execution of the sale and purchase of the Shares. Acceptance given during the Offer Period is effective also until the end of any extended Offer Period.

Most of the Finnish book-entry account operators will send a notification of the Tender Offer, including instructions and the relevant acceptance form to their customers who are registered as shareholders in the shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. ("Euroclear"). Shareholders who do not receive such notification from their account operator or asset manager can contact any branch office of Nordea Bank Finland Plc ("Nordea Bank") where such shareholders shall receive necessary information and can give their acceptance.

A shareholder in the Company whose shareholdings are registered in the name of a nominee and who wishes to accept the Tender Offer shall affect such acceptance in accordance with the nominee's instructions.

The holders of the Shares and/or the Option Rights validly tendered may also withdraw their acceptance during the Offer Period if the time allowed for acceptance has lasted over ten (10) weeks and the completion of the Tender Offer has not taken place.

The proper withdrawal of the acceptance for the Shares and/or the Option Rights validly tendered requires that a written notice of withdrawal is submitted to the same account operator to whom the acceptance form with respect to such Shares and/or Option Rights was submitted. In case the acceptance form with respect to Shares and/or Option Rights was submitted to Nordea Bank, the notice of withdrawal must be submitted to Nordea Bank. In case of holdings that are registered in the name of a nominee, the holders of Shares or Option Rights shall instruct the nominee to submit the notice of withdrawal.
