LEMMINKÄINEN CONCLUDES PERSONNEL NEGOTIATIONS

Lemminkäinen has concluded the personnel negotiations regarding more efficient operating methods and reduction of personnel. The negotiations began on 24 October, and they affected the entire Lemminkäinen Group in Finland and in other operating countries.

As a result of the negotiations, the maximum personnel reduction need is 300 man-years. Staff cuts will mainly affect Finnish operations. The aim is to reduce the number by means of other savings and staff reorganisation.

All personnel reductions involved will be finalised by the end of 2012. These arrangements will not cause significant non-recurring expenses in 2011.

The measures agreed result from the company's need to strengthen its profitability and competitiveness. The negotiations were part of Lemminkäinen's comprehensive efficiency programme, seeking annual cost-savings of EUR 50 million from 2013 onwards.

The company employs approximately 8,000 of whom approximately 70 per cent work in Finland.
