Elcoteq SE
Stock Exchange Release
December 27, 2010, at 10.15 am (EET)


As disclosed already early 2010 and later supported with the authorizations
issued by the Extraordinary General Meeting to Elcoteq's Board of Directors, the
negotiations about the comprehensive and long-term refinancing of the company
continue. The refinancing under negotiations is supposed to consist of various
equity and debt instruments.

In the beginning of the process, Elcoteq has according to the terms and
conditions of its existing Revolving Credit Facility announced its obligation to
arrange a share or rights issue during 2010. However, due to the status and
structure of continuing refinancing negotiations it is not advisable to arrange
a separate share issue in the middle of the process.

Therefore, a directed share or a rights issue or any combination of these two is
postponed and planned to take place earliest on 2011 as a part of new financing
structure.
