Glaston implements directed share issue without payment

The Board of Directors of Glaston Corporation has decided in its meeting on 28 April 2011 to implement a directed share issue without payment on the basis of the authorisation granted to it by the Annual General Meeting on 5 April 2011.

More detailed terms of the share issue are appended to this stock exchange release.

The Company has applied from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority a permission to be exempted from a duty to release a prospectus while an admission for the stock exchange list is applied for the new shares issued in the directed share issue without payment.

The new shares will be entered into the Trade Register approximately on 6 May 2011. After the Trade Register entry, Glaston will have a total of 105,588,636 shares. The issued new shares will be of the same type as the company’s other shares. The new shares will be publicly traded on the Helsinki Stock Exchange approximately on 9 May 2011.
