In relation to Kotkamills' strategic review process concerning L.P. Pacific Films ("LPPF"), as described in Kotkamills Group Oyj's stock exchange release published on 26 October 2016, LPPF's sole shareholder Kotkamills Oy has today on 18 November 2016 signed and completed a share purchase agreement concerning the sale and purchase of all issued and outstanding shares in LPPF to Surfactor Germany GmbH.

The enterprise value (on a debt and cash free basis) of LPPF is EUR 25 million. The purchase price is subject to a closing accounts adjustment, which is not expected to be material. The purchase price is paid to Kotkamills Oy in cash.
