Rautaruukki Corporation has received from the Finnish Financial Supervisory
Authority an exemption from the regular duty of disclosure

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted, upon application from
Rautaruukki Corporation ("Rautaruukki"), an exemption from the duty to publish
financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors for the year 2014
and the financial statements bulletin for the period 1 January to 31 December
2014. Rautaruukki's shares were delisted from NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd's official
list on 20 November 2014.

In its decision, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has taken into
account, among other things, that in the squeeze-out proceedings under Chapter
18 of the Limited Liabilities Act - Finland, the redemption price is determined
based on the fair price of the share before the initiation of arbitral
proceedings, and that Rautaruukki has published an interim report covering the
first nine months of the accounting period that started on 1 January 2014,
during which time the arbitral proceedings became pending. Since the arbitral
proceedings were initiated during the said period, the Finnish Financial
Supervisory Authority has deemed that the exemption concerning subsequent
reporting periods does not jeopardize the position of the investors.
