 Positive profit warning: Aktia plc updates outlook for 2010                     

 Aktia Group's operating profit for the full year 2010 is expected to exceed the 
 result for 2009. In prognoses published earlier, the full year operating profit 
 was expected to be at the same level as in 2009. Operating profit for 2009      
 amounted to EUR 47.0 million.                                                   

 Following a robust first quarter, also the outcome for the period April - May   
 2010 has been strong, thus the estimate for the full year 2010 has been revised 
 upwards.                                                                        

 The operating profit has improved mainly due to better than expected net        
 interest income, reduced costs and lower write-downs of credits.                

 The main risk factor is still the unrest on the financial market. The fund at   
 fair value, reporting unrealised value changes, remains higher than its level at
 the turn of the year. On 21 June 2010, the fund at fair value amounted to EUR   
 50.0 million (EUR 43 million at 31 December 2009).
