Stock Exchange Release
THE DECISION OF THE HELSINKI COURT OF APPEAL CONCERNING ALLEGED DELAY OF STONESOFT’S PROFIT WARNING IN FEBRUARY 2001
Stonesoft Corporation Stock Exchange Release 31.10.2008
The Helsinki Court of Appeal has today reversed the decision given by the District Court of
Helsinki in November 15, 2006 dismissing all charges against Stonesoft concerning alleged delay of
Stonesoft’s profit warning in February 2001.
In its decision the Helsinki Court of Appeal imposed Stonesoft Corporation a corporate fine
of EUR 20.000 for a security market information offence. Ilkka Hiidenheimo and Hannu Turunen as the
members of the company’s year 2000 Board of Directors and Esa Korvenmaa as the former CEO were each
sentenced to 30 daily fines.
Stonesoft’s view is that it has properly taken care of investor communications during the
period in question and, accordingly, the company considers the decision given by the Court of
Appeal totally groundless. At this stage the company has not yet made its decision on whether or
not to apply a leave to appeal from the Supreme Court.
