Ahlstrom to complete the transfer of Brazilian wipes business in the second quarter 2012

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


Ahlstrom Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE March 30, 2012 at 13.30



Ahlstrom Corporation, a global high performance materials company, estimates
that the transfer of the Brazilian operation of its former wipes fabrics
business, Home and Personal, to Suominen Corporation will take place in the
second quarter of 2012.

Ahlstrom had previously anticipated that the transfer would have taken place in
the first quarter of 2012. The transfer is subject to the acquiror receiving all
necessary Brazilian regulatory permits for its operations.

The Home and Personal business area excluding the Brazilian part of the
operation was transferred on October 31, 2011 to Suominen Corporation. Receiving
an approval from the competition authorities in Brazil is not a prerequisite for
completing the transaction.
