The Board of Directors of Kesko Corporation and the company’s President and CEO
Mikko Helander have agreed to amend Helander’s managing director's contract so
that Helander will continue to act as President and CEO for the time being.

when he turns 63. Helander has acted as the President and CEO of Kesko since
2015.

over past six years. The successful execution of Kesko’s growth strategy has led
