LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION    STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE    4 MARCH 2014 AT 9:30 A.M.

LEMMINKÄINEN CONSIDERS ISSUANCE OF A HYBRID BOND

Lemminkäinen Corporation is considering the issuance of a hybrid bond. The potential issue is expected to be launched in the near future subject to market conditions. The targeted minimum size of the issue is EUR 50 million.

A hybrid bond is an instrument which is subordinated to the company’s other debt obligations and which is treated as equity in the IFRS financial statements. The hybrid bond does not confer to its holders the rights of a shareholder and does not dilute the holdings of the current shareholders.

Nordea Markets acts as the sole lead manager for the transaction.
