Services division at Lassila & Tikanoja Plc. Prior to his current position, he
worked as the Group CFO, as well as Interim CEO of Lassila & Tikanoja Plc.

“I am very pleased to welcome Tuomas to the YIT Group Management Team. Tuomas
has wide understanding of the role of finance as an enabler for a successful
organisation. He has an extensive track record of delivering high-performing
results both in business and in finance. CFO is wingman for a CEO. With his
strategic capability, leadership and energy, I am confident that he will become
a key contributor to the overall success of YIT in the future. I warmly welcome
Tuomas Mäkipeska to YIT”, says Markku Moilanen, President and CEO of YIT.

Creating better living environments - inspires me personally. I am committed to
contribute to the performance and risk management of the company to create even
more successful YIT in the coming years”, says Tuomas Mäkipeska.

The YIT Group’s current CFO Ilkka Salonen has requested to leave YIT to focus on
Board membership and advisor roles in the future. He will continue as the CFO of
YIT until Tuomas Mäkipeska joins the company.

“I want to give my warm thanks to Ilkka Salonen for his work as a CFO at YIT and
Lemminkäinen. Ilkka has had a key role in the integration process of the two
companies. As a result, the balance sheet of YIT has been strengthened and
financing of the company is secured for years to come. Ilkka is a highly
respected colleague at YIT. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours”,
