Aldata Solution Oyj STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 21 September 2011 at 9.00 a.m. (EET) ALDATA REVISES ITS FULL YEAR EBIT GUIDANCE DUE TO COSTS ARISING FROM EXPECTED CHANGE IN CONTROL Aldata expects the full year 2011 EBIT to decrease from the 2010 level due to additional costs triggered mainly by the change in control likely to materialize on completion of the mandatory public tender offer made by Symphony Technology II-A, L.P. (Symphony). There is no change in full year 2011 revenues which are expected to be somewhat below the 2010 level. The previous full year guidance was that Aldata expected the year 2011 net sales to be somewhat below the 2010 level, and full year EBIT to improve compared to the previous year. The additional costs that are likely to be triggered relate to different personnel charges and the acceleration of the long-term incentives for key employees and the President and CEO, and are estimated at EUR 1.6 million. As a result of the acceleration, the President and CEO Mr. Bertrand Sciard would not have any long-term incentive schemes in place.
