LAROX CORPORATION   COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT 24 June 2010 at 11.30 am               

LAROX OYJ EXEMPTED FROM THE OBLIGATION TO PUBLISH AN INTERIM REPORT FOR THE     
PERIOD 1 JANUARY-30 JUNE 2010                                                   

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted Larox Corporation       
(“Larox”) an exemption from the obligation to publish an interim report for the 
period 1 January-30 June 2010 pursuant to Chapter 2, Section 11 of the Finnish  
Securities Market Act.                                                          

Outotec Oyj (“Outotec”) has on 10 June 2010 gained title to all minority shares 
in Larox in the redemption proceedings under Chapter 18 of the Finnish Companies
Act. The listing of the Larox series B shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd was    
terminated on 10 June 2010.                                                     

In its decision, the Financial Supervisory Authority has, among other things,   
taken into account that in the redemption proceedings under Chapter 18 of the   
Finnish Companies Act, the redemption price is determined based on the fair     
price during the period preceding the initiation of the arbitral proceedings.   
The arbitral proceedings became pending on 5 March 2010. Larox has published an 
interim report for the period 1 January-31 March 2010. As the arbitral          
proceedings were initiated during said time period, the exemption cannot,       
according to the decision of the Financial Supervisory Authority, be considered 
to endanger the position of investors.                                          

In Helsinki on 24 June 2010
