THE SUPREME COURT GRANTS KIINTEISTÖ OY VILHONKATU 7 LIMITED LEAVE TO APPEAL THE RULING OF THE HELSINKI COURT OF APPEAL ON THE REFURBISHING OF VILHONKATU 7 IN 1999

In its ruling on November 17, 2006, the Supreme Court has granted Kiinteistö Oy Vilhonkatu 7 limited leave to appeal the ruling of the Helsinki Court of Appeal on the refurbishing of Vilhonkatu 7 in 1999.

In its ruling on February 14, 2006, the Helsinki Court of Appeal ordered Kiinteistö Oy Vilhonkatu 7 to pay compensation to YIT for the conversion and additional works involved in the refurbishing of SOK’s former head office property in 1999 as well as the costs caused by the lengthening of the duration of the contract, with interest, and trial costs.

On the basis of the ruling by the Helsinki Court of Appeal, SOK paid EUR 11.1 million to YIT on February 15, 2006. The amount will not be recognized in the result until a final ruling is made.

YIT’s previous stock exchange release on this matter was published on April 18, 2006.
