SOLTEQ PLC STOCK EXCHANGE BULLETIN ON MAY 28, 2010 In the previous interim report Solteq Plc has estimated the turnover to reach the level of year 2009 and the operating result to be positive.

Because of the weakened estimations Solteq Plc has today started co-operation negotiations with its employees. The purpose of this action is to ensure company's cost effectiveness this year and in the near future. The objective of these negotiations is reduction of maximum 40 man-years during the following 12 months. The reductions are estimated to be executed by lay-offs and notices of termination.
