Cash offer of EUR 15.50 per share for TietoEnator Corporation

Introduction
Cidron Services Oy ("Cidron Services"), a company indirectly owned by
Nordic
Capital Fund VI, makes a cash tender offer for all shares and stock
options in
TietoEnator Corporation ("TietoEnator") offering EUR 15.50 per share.

The offer values TietoEnator at more than EUR 1.1 billion, and
represents a
premium of 38 percent to the closing price of EUR 11.27 on 19 March
2008, the
last trading day preceding this announcement.

The acceptance period is expected to begin on 2 April 2008 and end on
28 April
2008.

Following a successful completion of this offer and a subsequent
de-listing of
TietoEnator, Cidron Services is planning to appoint Harri Koponen to
the
position of Executive Chairman.

Harri Koponen:
"We believe that TietoEnator has an attractive position as a market
leader in
the Nordic region with an impressive customer base. Together with the
talented
employees of TietoEnator, we are convinced that we can build on its
successes
and with a supporting owner create an even stronger company."

Robert Furuhjelm, Director of Cidron Services and Partner, Nordic
Capital:
"This offer represents a very attractive proposition for
TietoEnator's
shareholders both from a value and certainty perspective. TietoEnator
is a
leader in a sector facing change. We are convinced that for the next
phase
TietoEnator can better restore its position and realize its full
potential as
an unlisted company without having to focus on short-term financial
performance."

The Offer
Cidron Services offers in cash EUR 15.50 per each share of
TietoEnator. Cidron
Services will also make a cash offer for the stock options of
TietoEnator.

The offer price of EUR 15.50 per share corresponds to a premium of
approximately:

* 38 percent to the closing price of EUR 11.27 of the shares on the
Helsinki
Stock Exchange on the last trading day preceding this announcement;

* 37 percent to the volume-weighted average trading price of EUR
11.29 of the
shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange during the ten day period
preceding this
announcement; and

* 29 percent to the volume-weighted average trading price of EUR
12.03 of the
shares since TietoEnator's Q4 results announcement as of February 6,
2008.

The amount of any dividend paid by TietoEnator prior to the
completion of the
offer will be deducted from the consideration offered for shares in
TietoEnator.

The tender offer is conditional on, amongst other things, the
acceptance of the
tender offer by shareholders representing at least 90 percent of the
shares and
voting rights in TietoEnator on a fully diluted basis (including
shares already
owned by Cidron Services or its affiliates), and the obtaining of all
necessary
regulatory approvals. Cidron Services has reserved the right to waive
any of
the offer conditions, if permitted by law. The principal terms of the
tender
offer, including the conditions for the completion of the tender
offer, are
included as an exhibit to this stock exchange release.

An affiliate of Cidron Services currently owns shares representing
4.4 percent
of the shares and voting rights in TietoEnator.

Cidron Services will finance the tender offer through capital from
its
shareholder and loans from financial institutions. Cidron Services
and its
affiliates have received committed credit facilities for the debt
financing
from Nordea Bank Finland plc, Pohjola Bank plc (formerly OKO Bank
plc) and
Swedbank AB (publ) regarding the part of the consideration in the
tender offer
that is to be financed through external debt financing. The remainder
will be
financed by capital to be provided by the ultimate shareholder of
Cidron
Services. The ultimate ownership of Cidron Services will vest in one
or more
Nordic Capital funds, including Nordic Capital Fund VI.

The external debt financing is available on a "certain funds" basis
which
limits the conditions of the external debt financing to a limited
number of
material conditions and certain other conditions that are practically
within
the control of Cidron Services and its affiliates or otherwise
customary in
financings of this nature. The material conditions of the external
debt
financing include that the tender offer has been accepted by
shareholders of
TietoEnator representing at least 90 percent of the shares and voting
rights in
TietoEnator on a fully diluted basis (including shares already owned
by Cidron
Services or its affiliates) and that all regulatory and/or
competition
authorizations necessary or desirable in connection with the tender
offer have
been obtained. In addition, Cidron Services cannot amend, waive,
withdraw or
fail to enforce any material term or condition of the tender offer
without
consent from the financing banks.

Background to the Offer and Intentions for TietoEnator
Cidron Services believes that TietoEnator occupies an attractive
position in
the IT Services market as a market leader in the Nordic region.
TietoEnator's
excellent customer base built upon long-term relationships with
well-known
companies and institutions forms a solid foundation for the business
and
provides future opportunities for growth and market share gains.
Furthermore,
TietoEnator has a deep pool of talented employees with strong
vertical
expertise.

TietoEnator, however, also faces various significant challenges.
These
challenges require a successful completion, in a quicker pace, of the
restructuring program that has already been initiated. This will be
accomplished at the same time as TietoEnator is facing increasing
competition
from global service providers combined with a slowing market growth.

Cidron Services is attracted by the opportunity of supporting
TietoEnator in
achieving its full potential. The strategy would involve improving
the customer
value proposition based on more efficient delivery models and
improving its
competitiveness in the core Nordic market. It is Cidron Services'
ambition to
support the management team in creating more focused and integrated
client
service teams and invest in the TietoEnator brand.

Cidron Services believes that strengthening TietoEnator's long-term
competitiveness will come at the expense of short-term profitability,
a
situation ill-suited with its status as a publicly listed company. In
a private
setting, the management can fully focus on the execution of the
strategy,
without the distraction of equity markets and quarterly reporting
obligations.
All focus will be on customers and employees. TietoEnator would as a
privately
held company have quicker and easier access to capital enabling the
company to
better capture potential opportunities in the rapidly consolidating
IT Services
market.

Cidron Services does not currently foresee that its strategy and
plans for
TietoEnator will have effects on TietoEnator's personnel or operating
locations
that would materially deviate from the effects of the performance
improvement
program announced by TietoEnator.

Since the current stock option programs of TietoEnator will
effectively
terminate as a result of the tender offer and the compulsory
acquisition
proceedings that Cidron Services expects to commence thereafter,
Cidron
Services intends to replace such stock option programs with new
incentive
compensation programs that will serve to align the interests of
Cidron Services
and TietoEnator with those of the management and employees of
TietoEnator.

Advisors
Morgan Stanley & Co Limited and Nordea Bank Finland Plc. act as
financial
advisors to Cidron Services, Nordea Bank Finland Plc. acts as the
arranger of
the tender offer and White & Case LLP acts as legal advisor to Cidron
Services.
Morgan Stanley & Co Limited is acting as financial advisor to Cidron
Services
in relation to the tender offer, will not regard any other person as
a client
in relation to the tender offer and will not be responsible to anyone
other
than Cidron Services for providing the protections afforded to
clients of
Morgan Stanley & Co Limited nor for providing advice to any such
other person.
