Elcoteq plans to restructure its operations to adjust the company's cost
structure to the current business volumes and to improve profitability.

Elcoteq has today convened a meeting of the employee representatives of Elcoteq
SE Finnish Branch, Elcoteq Finland Oy and Elcoteq Design Center Oy for statutory
personnel negotiations. The negotiations will address the restructuring of the
company's activities in Finland and the possibility of temporary lay-offs,
shifting to part-time works or the termination of employee contracts on
production or financial grounds. The personnel negotiations are estimated to
impact Elcoteq's entire personnel in Finland.

Besides Finland, similar reorganization of operations and rationalization
procedures are being discussed in certain other Elcoteq locations.

With the restructuring plan, the company targets to achieve signficant annual
fixed cost savings.
