Bittium Corporation: Announcement pursuant to chapter 9, section 10 of the
Finnish Securities Market Act

Bittium Corporation ("Bittium" or "Company") has received on October 22, 2015
the following notification:

FLAGGING ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 9, SECTION 5 OF THE FINNISH SECURITIES
MARKET ACT

  1. Issuer of the shares

Bittium Corporation, business identity code 1004129-5

  1. Name of the shareholder subject to notification obligation

Eero Halonen

  1. Reason for the notification

Bittium has on October 21, 2015 announced the final result of the voluntary
public tender offer for the Company's own shares ("Share") and stock options
2008C ("Stock Option") ("Offer"). According to the final result, 97,244,662
Shares were tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 73.2 percent of
all the Shares and votes in the Company. In addition, 166,694 Stock Options were
tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 62.0 percent of all the Stock
Options in the Company.

The sale and purchase of the Shares and Stock Options validly tendered in the
Offer will be executed on or about October 23, 2015. The settlement will be
effected on or about October 27, 2015 (the "Settlement Date").

According to the terms and conditions of the Offer, all the Shares and Stock
Options transferred in the Offer will become null and void as part of the
settlement of the completion trades of the Offer, tentatively on the Settlement
Date, so that the Shares and Stock Options will not come to the Company's
possession.

As a result of completing the Offer Eero Halonen will not own any Company's
Shares when the settlement of the completion trades of the Offer has been
effected and when the Shares and Stock Options have become null and void. Thus
his holdings in Bittium will decrease below the threshold of 5 percent of the
voting rights and total number of Shares of the Company.

After the Shares becoming null and void as a result of completing the Offer, the
remaining number of Company's Shares will be 35,573,368. The Shares of Bittium
are listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The Company has one series of Shares
and each Share entitles to one vote.
