LISTING OF SUBSCRIPTIONS IN 2005 ON THE BASIS OF YIT’S SHARE OPTIONS FROM 2002

In 2005, shares can be subscribed for in the period from April 1 to November 30 on the basis of the share options issued by YIT Corporation in 2002.

It is intended that the increases in the share capital on the basis of the subscriptions will be carried out in 2005 as follows:

Share subscription  Entry into the     New shares deadline            Trade Register     listed April 30            May 6              May 9 June 15             June 27            June 28 August 12           August 19          August 22 November 30         December 5         December 7

The shares entitle their holder to a dividend as from the date of subscription. Other rights will vest when the share capital increase has been entered in the Trade Register.

Subscriptions will be accepted at Nordea Bank Finland plc’s investment advisory branches.

The Annual General Meeting held in the spring of 2002 granted a maximum total of 450,000 Series C share options and a maximum total of 950,000 Series D shares for subscription without consideration.

The shares can be subscribed for annually during the period from April 1 - November 30 such that the subscription period for the Series C share options begins on April 1, 2004, and for the Series D share options on April 1, 2005. Both subscription periods end on November 30, 2006. Each share option entitles its holder to subscribe for two YIT Corporation shares (YTY1V) having a nominal value of one euro.

The subscription price of a share subscribed for with the Series C share options is EUR 6.545 per share. The subscription price of a share subscribed for with the Series D share options will be confirmed before the subscription periods begin.
