 NESTE OIL SPECIFIES ITS CLAIMS IN INSTALLATION CONTRACT DISPUTE                 

Neste Oil has specified its claims against YIT Industrial and Network Services in a contract dispute being processed in the court of arbitration by presenting compensation also on subsequent lost production. Neste Oil's total claims amount to EUR 107 million.

YIT contests Neste Oil's claims and has presented claims against Neste Oil based in principal on the amendments and additional work performed and the additional costs that arose from the prolongation of the contract.

The disagreement that has arisen in the financial final settlement for the mechanical installation work of production line 4, which was completed at Neste Oil's Porvoo oil refinery in the summer 2007, was brought before the court of arbitration for a decision in April 2008. YIT published a stock exchange release concerning the matter on April 1, 2008.
