Key events in 2009                                                              

Tamfelt Corp. (Tamfelt) and Metso Corporation (Metso) signed a combination      
agreement on November 5, 2009, after which Metso made a public tender offer to  
purchase all Tamfelt shares. The offer was carried out in the form of a share   
exchange, whereby Metso offered three (3) new shares issued by Metso for each   
ten (10) Tamfelt's shares. Metso offered 0.35 euros for each stock option issued
by Tamfelt. Tamfelt's Board of Directors unanimously recommended Tamfelt's      
shareholders to accept the share exchange offer.                                

The term of the exchange offer for all the shares and stock options issued by   
Tamfelt expired on December 18, 2009. In the final outcome, Metso's shareholding
and voting rights in Tamfelt rose to 98 per cent.  All of Tamfelt's current     
stock options were tendered to Metso in the offer. All the conditions of the    
offer having been fulfilled, Metso implemented the offer on December 23, 2009.  
Thus Metso became Tamfelt's parent company.                                     

Metso intends to acquire all the shares issued by Tamfelt. Having acquired more 
than nine-tenths (9/10) of all Tamfelt shares and the votes conferred by these, 
Metso has presented a demand for redemption according to the Finnish Companies  
Act. Tamfelt announced on Feb 2, 2010 having resolved to apply for the          
termination of trading as well as delisting of all the shares from the Helsinki 
Stock Exchange. In the application, Tamfelt requests that trading with Tamfelt's
shares is terminated and the shares be delisted from the official list of the   
Helsinki Stock Exchange as soon as possible after Metso has gained title to all 
the shares in Tamfelt. This is expected to happen during spring 2010.           

President & CEO Reima Kerttula:                                                 

”Integration with Metso opens up completely new possibilities for Tamfelt to    
develop its products and operations. We must seek global growth more vigorously 
than ever and I trust that we shall have excellent opportunities to do this as  
part of the Metso Corporation.                                                  

During the ongoing strategy period, we work hard to increase our income level to
where it was before the recession. An essential tool in this effort is to invest
heavily on production efficiency. The development of new products and the       
acquisition of new markets and new customers continue to be counted as our key  
success factors in this challenging environment.                                

Joining forces with Metso on product development as well as global sales network
front gives us new opportunities for achieving the set objectives faster.”

BUSINESS FIELD OF THE GROUP                                                     

Tamfelt is a world-leading supplier of technical textiles. The Group develops,  
manufactures and sells technical textiles for various applications in the paper 
and pulp industries, mining and chemical industries, energy industry, wastewater
treatment plants and commercial laundries. Tamfelt's biggest customer segment is
the paper and pulp industry.                                                    

GROUP NET SALES                                                                 

The consolidated net sales were 130.2 million euros, a decrease of 21.1 per cent
from previous year(165.0 million in 2008). Foreign operations accounted for 75.2
per cent (70.7) of the net sales.                                               

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE                                                           

Tamfelt Group's consolidated operating profit without one-off items was 3.3     
million euros (19.8), corresponding to 2.6 per cent (12.0) of the net sales. The
reported operating profit was 1.5 million euros, encumbered by 1.8 million euros
of one-off expenses for the combination with Metso. The net profit for the      
period was 0.0 million euros (down from 12.3 million). Besides the one-off      
expenses, the weaker year-on-year figures resulted from lower delivery volumes  
and tough price competition.                                                    

During 2009 special attention was paid on ensuring cash flow. The cost savings  
program carried out during the year, to ensure future competitiveness and       
business prospects, helped to achieve cost savings of 14.5 million euros. The   
programme included joint consultation negotiations that resulted in a one-off   
expense of around one million euros recorded in the first quarter 2009 for      
employments terminated without work obligation.                                 

Return on net assets was 1.4 per cent (14.4) and return on equity 0.0 per cent  
(11.3). Earnings per share were 0.01 euros (0.41).                              

CASH FLOWS AND FINANCING                                                        

Tamfelt's cash flow from operations was 18.5 million euros (18.0). Net working  
capital was 34.2 million euros (41.1). Investments were 5.2 million euros       
(15.7). The Group's interest-bearing loans were 35.8 million euros (35.4).      
Dividend payments amounted to 4.8 million euros (14.7). The company's cash and  
cash equivalents at the end of the period were 20.5 million euros (10.7). The   
amount of unused, unwithdrawn credits was 21 million euros. The balance sheet   
and the equity/assets ratio remained stable.

Business environment and main events                                            

Tamfelt PMC's line of business consists of paper machine clothing (forming and  
dryer fabrics, press felts and fabrics and shoe press belts) for paper and board
machines. Tamfelt PMC has production facilities at Tampere and Juankoski in     
Finland and in Tianjin, China. Tamfelt's merger with Metso enables competitive, 
more comprehensive solutions and offers to common clientele. One of the intended
consequences of the move was to have Tamfelt serve as the principal clothing    
supplier for the start-ups of machinery supplied by Metso. Tamfelt will also    
benefit of Metso's global sales network as the merger progresses.               

Throughout 2009, the demand for paper and board stayed below the record level of
2008. This resulted in production capacity cuts and shutdowns in the forest     
industry especially in Finland and rest of the Europe. As a result the paper and
board output was behind the previous year 2008.                                 

Investments in new manufacturing capacity decreased in the paper and board      
industries. This, together with stock reductions and low rates of capacity      
utilization, has a direct impact on the market for paper machine clothing, which
shrank worldwide. The decline steadied, however, as the year advanced. Towards  
the end of the year, cautious signs of an abating recession and a slight        
increase of new investments and rebuilds could be discerned, especially in      
China. This should affect the demand for Tamfelt's products before long. Tamfelt
PMC's market shares remained unchanged during the reporting period.             

The demand for paper machine clothing was around 20 per cent down year-on-year. 
The tightening competition is reflected in profitability. The financial problems
of major clothing suppliers persisted, and production capacity was scaled back  
in North America, Europe and Australia. A number of business structural         
arrangements occurred; Tamfelt's integration with Metso being one of the most   
significant. Together, the two companies will be better placed to strengthen    
their global market position, notably in the services business. Above all, focus
on the improvement of operations in China and also in North and South America   
must be enhanced. Growth is also sought from new, developing markets and new    
product applications.                                                           

Tamfelt PMC's net sales were 20.9 per cent down year-on-year. Cost savings      
programs and improved efficiency had a positive impact on the profit for the    
last quarter, which improved on the third quarter, but was definitely lower than
the figures for 2008.                                                           

Orders received and order backlog                                               
By the end of the year, Tamfelt PMC's order backlog had slimmed down 20 per cent
from the beginning of 2009. Towards the end of the period, however, more orders 
started to flow in, and the volumes grew from the level of the early year.      

Investments                                                                     
Tamfelt PMC's gross investments in 2009 were 4.0 million euros (12.1). Tamfelt  
PMC continued to invest in improved production efficiency and shorter lead times
by modernizing key production machinery. A new weaving loom was purchased to the
Chinese operation.                                                              

TAMFELT FILTRATION - INDUSTRIAL FILTER FABRICS                                  

Summary of the key figures of the Filtration business area 1-12/2009            

- Net sales 41.6 million euros (1-12/08: 53.0)

Business environment and main events                                            

Tamfelt Filtration manufactures filter fabrics for wet and dry filtration       
processes and ironer felts for commercial laundries. The company enjoys a strong
position in the global filter fabric market for paper, pulp and mining          
industries, as well as in ironer felt market. Tamfelt is the world market leader
in ironer felts. Other major applications include wastewater treatment plants,  
desulphurization in coal-fired power stations, and dust removal in incineration 
plants. Tamfelt Filtration operates manufacturing plants in Tampere, Finland;   
Ovar, Portugal; Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Łódź, Poland, and in Shanghai, China.   

Metso's established position in the global paper and pulp industry as well as   
mining and energy industry offers the Filtration business remarkable synergy and
growth opportunities in the company's key markets.                              

In 2009 the demand for wet filtration products declined in all major markets    
with the exception of China. In the last quarter of the year, the market        
recovered slightly, and this trend is expected to continue in 2010.             

The demand for dry filtration fabrics and ironer felts was below the level of   
the previous year following low capacity utilization and stock curtailment in   
the customer industries. The market for dry filtration products, however,       
steadied at the end of the year and a slight upturn is now expected. The        
delivery volumes of ironer felts have adjusted to the global demand.            

A significant share of Tamfelt's filter fabric business today serves            
environmental purposes. Here, too, Metso's strength in environmental technology 
promises good prospects for further development of this field of business.      

Tamfelt Filtration's net sales were 21.5 per cent down year-on-year. Operating  
profit was less than half of the level of the previous year, yet clearly        
positive.                                                                       

Orders received and order backlog                                               
By the end of 2009, Tamfelt Filtration's order backlog grew and was almost 7 per
cent higher than in the beginning of the year. Particularly wet filtration      
products' order volume improved. The order backlog for filter fabrics is        
typically short.                                                                

Investments                                                                     
Tamfelt Filtration's gross investment in 2009 was 0.7 million euros (2.6). The  
highest capital expenditure was in the Portuguese plant.                        

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

The cost of research and development was 3.1 per cent (2.6) of Tamfelt's net    
sales. In the new integrated operation, technical textiles will be developed as 
an integral part of Metso's R&D on fibre and paper technology. Tamfelt will have
improved opportunities for cooperation with customers, equipment and raw        
material suppliers as well as universities and research institutes.             

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS                                                   

Tamfelt's key customer base consists of forest industry and mining industry     
operators. Economic fluctuations and business trends in these industries have a 
direct impact on the order volumes and financial performance. Capacity cuts,    
closures of forest industry operations and downtime have reduced Tamfelt's      
traditional customer base. In the current challenging market situation,         
customers' financial risks are higher than before.                              

Customers make clothing manufacturers compete for contracts and keep            
consolidating their purchases on an ever-smaller number of suppliers. Long-term 
contracts account for a major share of Tamfelt's sales. To maintain competitive 
strength, Tamfelt focuses on improving productivity and capital spending        
efficiency. Tamfelt is actively developing new spearhead products and improved  
service concepts.                                                               

Metso is a world-leading manufacturer of paper and board machines, and the      
integration will help improve Tamfelt's crisis management ability. At this      
stage, it is difficult to estimate the impacts on sales and the financial       
performance - they will only become visible in the second half of the year.     

Tamfelt takes out insurances to cover the risk of damage involved in the        
activities, as far as this is deemed motivated financially or otherwise. The    
coverage includes insurance against material damage, business interruption and  
credit risk as well as product liability and completed operations liability     
coverage. We focus on identifying and reducing risks and risk-related damages.  
However, the business environment involves risks that cannot be covered by      
insurances or eliminated by other means.                                        

A more detailed description of the risks and internal control is published later
in Tamfelt's Financials Report 2009.                                            

PERSONNEL                                                                       

In January-December 2009, Tamfelt employed an average of 1,383 people (down from
1,534). Tamfelt PMC employed 761 and Tamfelt Filtration 439 people. On the last 
day of the year, the number of employees was 1,328 (1,535). Sixty-nine per cent 
of them worked in Finland and 31 per cent abroad. The Group headcount was       
reduced after the joint consultation negotiations held at the Tampere and       
Juankoski plants in early 2009 and the adjustments made in the foreign units.   

The average length of employment at Tamfelt was 13 years (13). At the end of    
2009, the average personnel age was 41 years (42). Labour turnover was 4.3 per  
cent (7.5). During the year, 54 employees moved to new jobs in the domestic     
units. The average pension age was 61 years (59).                               

Change management in personnel issues was one of the key focus areas in 2009.   
All supervisors received training in the subject, including constructive        
coaching for the management of temporary and permanent lay-off situations.      

ENVIRONMENT                                                                     

Tamfelt's environmental management system under the SFS-EN-ISO 14001 standard   
covering the Tampere and Juankoski plants was certified in 1998 and updated in  
2009. The level of Tamfelt's environmental protection fulfils the current       
statutory requirements.                                                         

The goals and targets to support sustainable development have been published in 
Tamfelt's environmental policy. The company's manufacturing processes do not    
discharge any significant amounts of pollutants. The key objectives of Tamfelt's
environmental management programme are to improve the use of raw materials, to  
cut slow-decaying landfill waste and to avoid unnecessary consumption of water  
and energy.                                                                     

Major environmental initiatives in 2009 in Finland focused on more efficient use
of raw material at the Tampere and Juankoski facilities, waste reduction,       
improved recycling, measures required by the environmental permit granted to the
Tampere plant, efficient energy use and emissions trading. In Tamfelt           
Filtration's Brazilian and Polish operations, environmental management systems  
were being built to the ISO 14001 standard.                                     

The recycling of cloth waste improved a little in 2009 compared to the level of 
previous year. The use of cloth waste for energy production increased during    
2009. Tamfelt continues to research into possibilities to improve the use of    
cloth waste. The total environmental expenditure in 2009 was 0.2 per cent of the
net sales.

The Tamfelt Shanghai Representative Office was closed on December 31, 2009.     
                                                                                
SHARES, SHARE CAPITAL AND OPTIONS                                               

Combination of the two series of shares                                         
In the beginning of 2009, Tamfelt's share capital stood at 27,563,964.00 euros. 
The aggregate number of shares was 27,563,964 of which 10,119,198 were common   
(TAFKS) and 17,444,766 preferred (TAFPS) shares.                                

At the extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on August 31, 2009, the       
Tamfelt Board of Director's proposed that the two series of shares be combined  
into one. The meeting passed a decision to that effect, and there is now only   
one series of shares; each share carries one vote and equal rights. A free share
issue was targeted to the holders of common shares. Contrary to the             
shareholders' preferential rights, the shareholders of common shares got one    
free new share against each four common shares. The combination of the series   
into one and the targeted free issue resulted into four common shares being     
converted into five shares in the company. The targeted free issue consisted of 
2,529,799 new shares.                                                           

As a result of the targeted free issue and the combination of the series,       
Tamfelt's total share stock grew into 30,093,763 shares. Trading in the new and 
combined shares began on September 4, 2009 under the new code TAF1V.            

The targeted free issue did not affect the company's share capital, which       
amounted to 27,563,964,00 euros at the end of the year. The trend of the share  
is shown in the tables at the end of this bulletin.                             

Combination agreement between Tamfelt and Metso and Metso's public tender offer 
for all of Tamfelt's shares and stock options                                   

Tamfelt and Metso signed a combination agreement on November 5, 2009, after     
which Metso made a public tender offer to purchase all Tamfelt shares. The offer
was carried out in the form of a share exchange, whereby Metso offered three (3)
new shares issued by Metso against ten (10) Tamfelt's shares. Metso offered 0.35
euros for each stock option issued by Tamfelt.                                  

Tamfelt's Board of Directors recommended unanimously to the shareholders that   
the exchange offer and the cash consideration offered to the stock option       
holders be accepted.                                                            
                                                                                
The combination agreement required Tamfelt's Board to convene an extraordinary  
meeting of shareholders to decide that Article 12 (Obligation to redeem shares) 
be removed from the Articles of Association. An extraordinary shareholders'     
meeting held on December 1, 2009 decided accordingly and the amendment was      
entered in the Trade Register on December 22, 2009.                             

The term of the share exchange offer covering all the shares and stock options  
issued by Tamfelt expired on December 18, 2009. In the final outcome, Metso's   
shareholding and voting rights in Tamfelt rose to 98 per cent (including the    
shares already held by Metso). All of Tamfelt's current stock options were      
tendered to Metso in the offer. All the conditions for the share exchange offer 
having been fulfilled by the expiry of the term, Metso implemented the offer on 
December 23, 2009. Thus Metso became Tamfelt's parent company.                  

Metso intends to acquire all the shares issued by Tamfelt. Having acquired more 
than nine-tenths (9/10) of all Tamfelt shares and the votes conferred by these, 
Metso presented a demand for redemption according to the Finnish Companies Act. 
Any shares that have not beeb exchanged in the offer will be redeemed in the    
manner prescribed in the Companies Act. When the redemption process is complete,
Tamfelt applies for shares to be removed from the Helsinki Stock Exchange. This 
is expected to happen during spring 2010.                                       

Holding of own shares                                                           
Tamfelt does not hold its own shares. The Board of Directors has no current     
authorization to decide on the acquisition or conveyance of the company's own   
shares.                                                                         

Stock options                                                                   
Tamfelt is currently running one stock option programme (2005) designed for the 
company's key executives. No subscriptions were made under this programme in    
2009. When the two share series of shares were combined, the Board decided to   
alter the terms and conditions of the 2005 stock option programme to entitle the
option holders to subscribe for the series of shares which the company has after
the combination. The subscription price, the number of option rights and the    
number of shares available for subscription remain unchanged. In the agreement  
of November 5, 2009, Metso offered cash payment of 0.35 euros for a stock       
option. On the basis of the offer, all options were transferred to Metso by the 
end of 2009.                                                                    

BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AUDITORS AND EXECUTIVE BOARD                                

Board of Directors                                                              
Until March 18, 2009 the ordinary members of Tamfelt Corp.'s Board of Directors 
were Mikael von Frenckell, Carl-Magnus Cedercreutz, Vesa Kainu, Martin Lilius,  
Jouko Oksanen and Niklas Savander.                                              

Tamfelt Corp.'s Annual General Meeting of March 18, 2009, elected Mikael von

Savander to continue as ordinary members of the Board. Pasi Laine and Christoph 
Vitzthum were elected as new ordinary members. At the organization meeting,     
Mikael von Frenckell was elected to continue as Chairman and Niklas Savander as 
Deputy Chairman.                                                                

The combination agreement published by Tamfelt and Metso on November 5, 2009    
required that Tamfelt's Board convene an extraordinary general meeting of       
shareholders to confirm the number of Board members as five and to elect Mikael 
von Frenckell, Jouko Oksanen and Pasi Laine to continue as Board members and    
Jorma Eloranta (Metso's President & CEO) and Bertel Langenskiöld (President of  
Metso's Paper and Fiber Technology segment) as new members. The extraordinary   
general meeting of December 1, 2009 elected the above persons as ordinary

elected Bertel Langenskiöld as Chairman of the Board.

President & CEO and Executive Board                                             
As of January 1, 2009 the members of the Group's Executive Board were Reima

POST-REVIEW EVENTS                                                              

Tamfelt announced on Feb 2, 2010 having resolved to apply for the termination of
trading as well as delisting of all its shares from the Helsinki Stock Exchange.
In the application, Tamfelt requests that trading with Tamfelt's shares is      
terminated and the shares be delisted from the official list of the Helsinki    
Stock Exchange as soon as possible after Metso has gained title to all the      
shares in Tamfelt.                                                              

Metso currently holds 98 percent of all the shares and votes in Tamfelt. Metso  
has initiated the redemption proceedings in accordance with Chapter 18 of the   
Finnish Companies Act in order to acquire the remaining shares in Tamfelt.      
Provided that the arbitral tribunal appointed by the Redemption Committee of the
Central Chamber of Commerce confirms that Metso's redemption right is clear,    
Metso is entitled under law to gain title to the remaining shares in Tamfelt by 
posting a security approved by the arbitral tribunal for the payment of the     
redemption price.                                                               

OUTLOOK                                                                         

To improve the company's cost structure and delivery strength, the focus of     
activities has shifted and continues to shift outside Finland and Europe.       
Metso's global network and strong position in developing markets will help      
improve Tamfelt's competitive strength also in these regions.                   

The economic uncertainty created by the global financial crisis continues to    
affect the growth of world economy significantly. The demand for paper and the  
production volumes of the forest industry are believed to lag behind the        
long-term average rate. Tamfelt's integration with Metso makes it possible to   
offer competitive, more comprehensive solutions to the common clientele. This is
expected to increase the sales of PMC products.                                 

The mining industry volumes are expected to grow and improve the market for     
filter fabrics. Increasing environmental awareness and tightening standards are 
likely to be established as a long-term global trend. This is expected to boost 
the demand for filter fabrics. Around half of Tamfelt's filtration business now 
serves environmental purposes. Metso's strong position and knowhow in           
environmental technology will benefit also Tamfelt in this field of business. It
is expected that combined competence will offer new opportunities to ramp up the
sales of filtration products.                                                   

Weak market conditions, toughening price competition and struggle for market    
shares continue to affect the outlook for the entire industry, including        
Tamfelt. The cost saving initiatives launched in 2009 had a positive effect on  
the full-year result. The saving programmes will continue in 2010. Thanks to the
saving measures and a tight capital budget Tamfelt succeeded to keep the cash   
flow at a good level and equity/assets ratio remains excellent. Despite modest  
signs of recovery, it is believed that the unstable market situation will       
persist through the first half of 2010 at least.                                
                                                                                
The heavy investments made in the last few years have improved Tamfelt's        
delivery performance, productivity and cost competitiveness. No major           
investments in capacity will be made in the near future. Tamfelt's liquidity is 
expected to remain good.                                                        

Integration with Metso brings many opportunities to improve business and        
profitability. Their impact will be seen as the integration process advances.   
Extent of the impacts is yet difficult to estimate, this will become clearer    
during the second half of 2010.                                                 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT                     

The Board of Director proposes to Tamfelt's Annual General Meeting that no      
dividend be distributed.                                                        


Auditors' report on the financial statements was given on February 8, 2010. The 
figures are rounded off.                                                        


Helsinki, February 8, 2010                                                      

Tamfelt Corp.                                                                   

Board of Directors                                                              


INTERIM REPORTS AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING IN 2010                              

At the time of this release, Metso holds 98 per cent of Tamfelt's shares. Metso 
intends to acquire a 100 per cent shareholding in Tamfelt in the first quarter  
of 2010 and to apply for the shares to be removed from the Helsinki Exchanges.  
If Tamfelt leaves the Helsinki Exchanges as projected, the company's financial  
performance will hence be reported as part of Metso Corporation, and Tamfelt    
will no longer publish any financial bulletins of its own.                      

The date of the Annual General Meeting is March 29, 2010, as previously         
informed.                                                                       


- The financial statements were prepared to the IFRS standard. Since January 1, 
2009 the Group applies the following revised standards: IAS 1.                  

- The 2008 comparison data was converted as required by the basis of            
measurement. The criteria for recognizing the non-hedging derivative instruments
referred to in the IFRS standard have been changed; profits and losses are now  
recognized in the item corresponding to the hedged item in the income statement.
Exchange gains and losses from business operations are recognized above the     
operating profit line. Exchange gains and losses related to foreign             
currency-denominated loans are recognized in financial income and expenses. This
improves the full-year net sales for 2008 by 0.3 million euros.
