Lasse Aho, Managing Director of Olvi plc, said the following in connection with the disclosure: "Olvi Group's nine-month performance was good and our earnings improved clearly on the previous year. We were able to improve our overall market position across the entire operating area, and Olvi Group's financial position improved. The increase in operating profit was attributable to good delivery reliability made possible by increased efficiency of production operations, successful new product launches in the spring, as well as extraordinarily good summer weather that affected sales growth particularly in mineral waters."

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR TERM

The global economy is gradually recovering from the financial crisis, and world trade is expected to become livelier. The gross national product, employment rate and consumer demand are estimated to develop positively. However, there are great differences between countries. Any signs of an economic upturn particularly in Latvia and Lithuania are minor for the time being. If the positive development lasts only for a short term, weakening consumer purchasing power will cause a decrease in product demand and guide it towards products of a lower price category.

Country-specific downturns in the economic situation may affect customers' solvency and the schedule of payments, leading to credit losses. The control of accounts receivable has been intensified in order to prevent credit loss risks. On the other hand, credit loss risk is reduced by the fact that Olvi Group's customer base is wide and distributed in several countries.

Olvi's operations are dependent on the reliability of materials management, production facilities, logistics and IT systems. The aim is to prevent the realisation of related risks through continuous analysis and development of processes. Olvi Group companies have insurance covering their assets and business interruptions.

Olvi operates internationally, and its business involves risks arising from foreign exchange fluctuations due to cash flows from purchases and sales, as well as the conversion of balance sheet items in foreign subsidiaries into euro. Olvi Group's parent company is centrally responsible for managing foreign

exchange and financing risks in accordance with the Board of Directors' guidance. NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK Olvi Group's main objective for 2010 is to maintain good profitability. Olvi Group's comparable full-year operating profit for 2010 is estimated to clearly outperform the previous year (comparable operating profit in 2009 stood at 24.6 million euro).

5. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Olvi plc's Board of Directors decided on 26 January 2006 on a share-based incentive scheme for Olvi Group's key personnel.

The share-based bonus scheme is a part of the incentive and commitment scheme for the Group's key personnel and its purpose is to combine the objectives of shareholders and key personnel to improve the company's value.

The scheme includes two vesting periods, the first one extending from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2007 and the second one from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010. The amount of bonuses payable out of the scheme is linked to Olvi Group's net sales and the operating profit percentage in relation to net sales.

The bonuses are payable partially in Olvi plc's Series A shares and partially in cash. The proportion payable in cash covers the taxes and other statutory fees arising from the share-based bonuses. The bonuses for the first vesting period were paid in April 2008. The shares carry a ban on transferring them within two years of reception.

Any bonuses for the second vesting period will be paid in April 2011. 50 percent of the shares received as bonus for the second vesting period may be transferred after one year of reception, and 100 percent after two years of reception. The right to dividends begins when the shares are transferred to the key employees' book-entry accounts.

On the basis of this incentive scheme, a total of 48,000 Olvi plc Series A shares may become payable in 2011 for the second vesting period if the targets are achieved in full.

The target group of the scheme currently includes 20 key employees.

A total of 331 thousand euro was recognised as bonuses associated with the incentive scheme in January-September 2010. No accounting entries associated with this incentive scheme were recognised in January-September 2009. The incentive scheme does not have any diluting effect.

Olvi Group has no warrants or options.

6. TREASURY SHARES

Olvi plc held a total of 12,400 of its own Series A shares on 1 January 2010. The total purchase price of treasury shares was 222 thousand euro. Olvi plc has not acquired more treasury shares or transferred them to others in January-September 2010, which means that the number of Series A shares held by the company is unchanged on 30 September 2010.

Series A shares held by Olvi plc as treasury shares represented 0.12 percent of the share capital and 0.03 percent of the aggregate number of votes. The treasury shares represented 0.15 percent of all Series A shares and associated votes.

On 8 April 2010, the General Meeting of Shareholders of Olvi plc decided to revoke any unused authorisations to acquire treasury shares and authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares using distributable funds. The authorisation is valid for one year starting from the General Meeting and covers a maximum of 245,000 Series A shares.

The Annual General Meeting decided to revoke all existing unused authorisations for the transfer of own shares and authorise the Board of Directors of Olvi plc to decide on the transfer of any A shares acquired on the company's own account within one year of the Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors of Olvi plc has not exercised the acquisition or transfer authorisations granted by the General Meeting between January and September 2010.

Equity to total assets, % = (Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders + share belonging to non-controlling shareholders)/100 * (balance sheet total – advances received)

Earnings per share = Profit belonging to parent company shareholders / Average number of shares during the period, adjusted for share issues

Equity per share = Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders / Number of shares at end of period, adjusted for share issues

Gearing, % = (Interest-bearing debt – cash in hand and at bank) / (Shareholders' equity held by parent company shareholders + minority interest)
