Stock exchange release

Elektrobit (EB) plans to rationalize its operations in the Wireless Business Segment in Finland

Elektrobit (EB) plans to rationalize its operations in the Wireless Business Segment in Finland and targets to achieve annual cost savings of approximately EUR 1 million by centralizing some of its operations more in Oulu and by focusing the roles of its offices in Finland. EB has today started personnel negotiations with its Wireless Business Segment's personnel in Kajaani and Tampere based on financial and production related reasons and restructuring of employer's operations, which is estimated to lead to termination of 20 employment relationships at the maximum. Currently, Wireless Business Segment has 457 employees in Finland.

The planned cost saving actions, if materialized, are estimated to cause non-recurring costs of approximately EUR 0.4 million that will weaken the operating result of the last quarter 2014. Financial impacts of the planned actions are taken into account in the company's outlook for 2014 presented in the interim report January-September 2014, published today. The interim report January-September 2014 is available at the company's internet pages at www.elektrobit.com .
