TietoEnator Corporation Stock exchange release 19 June 2008, 12.30 pm
EET


Following the lapse of the public tender offer by Cidron Services Oy
on 26 May 2008 the Board of Directors of TietoEnator has continued
discussions with a number of strategic and financial parties that
have separately indicated their potential interest in making an offer
for the Company. None of these discussions has, however, resulted in
any firm and actionable offers for the shares and stock options in
the Company and therefore, active discussions with potential offerors
have ended.

Anders Ullberg, Chairman of the Board, states "Since the announcement
of the offer by Cidron Services for the Company on 20 March the Board
has held detailed discussions and provided due diligence access to
all parties that have indicated a real interest in acquiring the
Company. Having evaluated these alternatives and the inherent nature
of each potential offeror, and their value attributes, the Board's
unanimous view is that it has not received a firm and actionable
offer that represents a fair value for shareholders and
optionholders, and therefore all discussions between the company and
potential offerors have come to an end. The Board believes that it is
now in the interests of all stakeholders to minimize disruption to
the Company and to focus on the execution of the Company's turnaround
activities and revised strategy."

The Board will review TietoEnator's strategy in its annual strategy
meeting during the coming summer and it will publish a summary of
related decisions in connection with the second quarter interim
report on 18 July 2008 to provide shareholders a concrete view about
the details of the revised strategy and the Company's execution
plans.

TietoEnator will publish its second quarter interim report on 18 July
2008 at 8.00 am EET.
