TAMFELT CORP. STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE September 3, 2009 at 1.45 p.m.             

TAMFELT CORP.'S AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, COMBINATION OF SHARE 
SERIES AND DIRECTED FREE SHARE ISSUE ENTERED INTO THE TRADE REGISTER            

A total of 2,529,799 new shares issued in Tamfelt Corp.'s directed free share   
issue have been entered into the Trade Register on 3 September 2009.            
Shareholders have full rights to these new shares as of the moment they are     
registered.                                                                     

In connection with the combination of the share series, the Extraordinary       
General Meeting of Tamfelt has on 31 August 2009 decided on a free share issue  
to the holders of common shares in such a way that, deviating from the          
pre-emptive rights of the shareholders, holders of common shares would receive  
one (1) new share free of charge for each four (4) common shares. As a result of
the combination of the share series and the directed free share issue, the      
holders of four (4) common shares will hold five (5) shares in the Company.     

The new shares issued in the directed free share issue will be recorded in the  
book-entry accounts of the shareholders entitled to the shares on the basis of  
their registration and will become traded publicly as of 4 September 2009. The  
trading code for Tamfelt shares as of 4 September 2009 is TAF1V and each share  
carries one vote and has equal rights.                                          

To the extent that the number of common shares held by the holder of common     
shares is not divisible by four (4), on the record date of the combination of   
share series, the shares to be formed on the basis of the fractions will be sold
by Nordea Bank Finland Plc for the account of the holders of common shares whose
number of common shares is not divisible by four (4). The shares will be sold on
4 September 2009 in public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd and the  
price will be determined in accordance with the prevailing trading price. Nordea
Bank Finland Plc will declare the funds from the sales of these shares          
approximately 10 September 2009 and the funds will be deposited in the cash     
accounts connected with the book-entry accounts of the shareholders             
approximately 11 September 2009.                                                

At the same time, the amendments to the Articles of Association and the         
combination of the share series have been entered into the Trade Register.      

As a result of the directed free share issue and the combination of the share   
series, the total number of Tamfelt Corp.'s shares is 30,093,763. The directed  
free share issue has no effect on the share capital of the Company.             

The Board of Directors has on 3 September 2009 decided to amend the terms and   
conditions of the Stock Option Program 2005 so that on the basis of stock       
options, the stock option holder is entitled to subscribe for the share series  
the Company has after the combination of the shares. The share subscription     
price, number of stock options and number of shares to be subscribed for with   
stock options will remain unchanged.
