The result of Suomen Hoivatilat Oyj's directed offering of preliminarily up to 3.5 million new shares

Suomen Hoivatilat Oyj ("Hoivatilat" or the "Company") announces the result of the offering (the "Offering") of preliminarily up to 3.5 million new shares (the "Offer Shares") directed to Finnish and international institutional investors. The Company announced the launching of the Offering in a stock exchange release published on 23 March 2017. Hoivatilat reserved the right of issuing a higher number of Offer Shares issued in the Offering than the planned preliminary maximum number of Offer Shares.

Hoivatilat's board of directors resolved on 23 March 2017 to issue in the Offering up to 4,500,000 new Offer Shares at a subscription price of EUR 7.00. The subscription price per Offer Share was approximately 3.4 percent lower than the last closing price of the Company's share on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd prior to the Offering. The Offer Shares will be paid on or about 28 March 2017. The subscription price of the Offer Shares, being EUR 31.5 million in aggregate, will be recorded in its entirety in the unrestricted equity reserve. The Offer Shares represent approximately 21.6 per cent of all the shares prior to the Offering and approximately 17.8 per cent of all the shares following the Offering.

The Offering was carried out based on offers received in an accelerated bookbuilding. The Offering was carried out based on the authorisation given by Hoivatilat's annual general meeting to the board of directors on 23 February 2017. Based on the authorisation, the board of directors was authorised to resolve on issuing up to 10,000,000 shares. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken is acting as the Sole Bookrunner of the Offering.

The Offer Shares to be issued in the Offering are new Hoivatilat shares that are equivalent to the existing share class of Hoivatilat. The Offer Shares issued in the Offering will be registered in the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office on or about 28 March 2017 with the same class as the other Shares of the Company. The ISIN code of the Shares (including the Offer Shares) is FI4000148648. The Offer Shares are expected to be ready for delivery to the investors against payment through Euroclear Finland Ltd on or about 29 March 2017.

Hoivatilat intends to make as soon as practicably possible an application for the admission into trading of the Offer Shares on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (the "Helsinki Stock Exchange"). The Offer Shares will be admitted to trading on the official list of the Helsinki Stock Exchange together with the Company's existing shares on or about 29 March 2017 under the trading symbol HOIVA, provided that the Helsinki Stock Exchange approves the listing application in respect of the Offer Shares and that the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority approves a listing prospectus in respect of the Offer Shares. Hoivatilat intends to publish a listing prospectus in respect of the Offer Shares prior to the Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the official list of the Helsinki Stock Exchange

Hoivatilat's CEO Jussi Karjula comments on the Offering: "I am very pleased with the result of the Offering. We obtained a gross amount of EUR 31.5 million in new growth financing, which we will primarily use towards implementing our already agreed property projects and projects in respect of which agreements are made during the years 2017-2018. The growth financing now obtained forms an important part of enabling the implementation of the Company's planned growth. Our shareholder base grew with a significant increase in both Finnish and international institutional investors. The Company's board of directors and management thoroughly considered the way of implementing of the offer. In our assessment, through the selected implementation we reach an end result serving the interests of the Company and all of its shareholders in the best way possible. The conditions for continued growth and shareholder value generation are excellent thanks to the successful Offering and the widened shareholder base."
