local time
Metso's Extraordinary General Meeting approved a demerger plan on October
1, 2013, pursuant to which Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power businesses will
transfer, without liquidation, from Metso to Valmet Corporation. The completion
of the partial demerger is expected to be registered in the Finnish Trade
Register on or about December 31, 2013. The trading of Valmet's shares on NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki is expected to commence on or about January 2, 2014.
Carve-out and pro forma key figures and essential accounting principles for
Valmet are shown below. More extensive information can be found in the
attachment.
Valmet's Carve-out Financial Information
The interim carve-out financial information for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2013 has been prepared by combining the income statements,
comprehensive income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows of the legal
entities and operating units attributable to the Pulp, Paper and Power
businesses in Metso's historical consolidated financial statements and that will
be carved out from Metso to form the Valmet Group. This includes the income,
expenses, assets, liabilities, and cash flows of certain overseas holding
companies owned by the Parent Company and Metso that will either be transferred
to Valmet or that have been allocated to Valmet for the purpose of preparing the
carve-out financial statements and interim carve-out financial information. As
the Valmet Group does not comprise a group of entities under the control of a
parent as defined by IAS 27, "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements",
consolidated financial statements for the businesses have not been prepared
historically for internal or external reporting purposes.
The interim carve-out financial information for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2013 has been prepared in compliance with the recording and
valuation principles of the IFRS standards as adopted by the European Union and
take account of, the accounting basis and accounting principles used in
preparing the carve-out financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 and the carve-out financial
information for the six month period ended June 30, 2013.
The interim carve-out financial information is unaudited and should be read
together with the audited carve-out financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 together with the unaudited carve-out
financial information for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 included in
the demerger prospectus dated September 20, 2013 and released on September
23, 2013.

Valmet's Pro Forma Financial Information
Basis of Compilation of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information is presented to
illustrate the financial impacts of the demerger and certain transactions
related to the formation of Valmet on Valmet's results of operations and
financial position had the demerger taken place at an earlier point in time.
This unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative
purposes only. Because of its nature, this unaudited financial information
illustrates what the hypothetical impact would have been if the demerger and
certain transactions related to the formation of Valmet had taken place at the
dates assumed in the pro forma financial information and does not represent
Valmet's actual results of operations or financial position. This financial
information is not intended to project Valmet's results of operations or
financial position for any future period or as at any future date and does not
represent the results of operations or financial position had Valmet been an
independent publicly traded company during the periods presented. In addition,
it should be noted that the corporate headquarter costs allocated to Valmet for
historical carve-out purposes may not necessarily represent what these costs
would have been if Valmet had operated as an independent legal entity.
Additional costs may be incurred by Valmet following the effective date to
enable it to operate as an independent listed company and as a result of
reorganizing its administrative and headquarter functions.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions,
which are described in the accompanying unaudited pro forma notes. There can be
no assurance that the assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited pro
forma financial information will prove correct.
The pro forma adjustments that have been made to reflect the effects of the
demerger and certain transactions related to the formation of Valmet are based
on Valmet's unaudited interim carve-out financial information as at and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2013, unaudited carve-out financial information
as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and management's estimate of the
transactions that have been completed or are to be completed to effect the
demerger and form Valmet in accordance with the demerger plan. The final amounts
of assets and liabilities transferred to Valmet in the demerger may materially
differ from those presented in the pro forma financial information, as such
balances will be determined on the effective date. This could result in a
significant variation from the results of operations and financial position
presented for Valmet in the pro forma financial information.
Pro Forma Periods
The pro forma statement of income and pro forma statement of comprehensive
income for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 have been compiled assuming that the demerger and certain
transactions related to formation of Valmet had been completed on January
1, 2012, while the pro forma balance sheet as at September 30, 2013 has been
compiled assuming that the demerger and certain transactions related to the
formation of Valmet had been completed on September 30, 2013.
The pro forma financial information presented here should be read in conjunction
with the unaudited carve-out financial information for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2013, the historical carve-out financial information for
Valmet, and other information included in the demerger prospectus mentioned
above.
