Outotec supplements the offer document with a stock exchange release published by Larox

Larox Corporation ("Larox") has on January 18, 2010 published a stock exchange release regarding its write-off of deferred taxes attached as Annex 1 to this release.

Outotec has decided to supplement the combined tender offer document and listing particulars (the "Offer Document") relating to its tender offer for Larox (the "Tender Offer") with this release and the stock exchange release published by Larox on 18 January 2010 attached hereto as Annex 1.

As a consequence of supplementing the Offer Document a right to withdraw the acceptance of the Tender Offer becomes under the Finnish Securities Market Act available to the Larox shareholders and holders of the unused subscription rights relating to the 1994 bonus issue by Larox (the "Subscription Rights") who have accepted the Tender Offer.

The proper withdrawal of the shares and Subscription Rights validly tendered requires that a written notice of withdrawal is submitted to the same account operator to whom the acceptance form with respect to such Larox shares or Subscription Rights was submitted, in such manner, that it is received by January 21, 2010. In case the acceptance form was submitted to Nordea Bank Finland plc, the notice of withdrawal must be submitted to Nordea Bank Finland plc. In case of holdings that are registered in the name of a nominee, the shareholder shall instruct the nominee to submit the notice of withdrawal. The delivery of the notice of withdrawal will be deemed made only once actually received by the relevant account operator or Nordea Bank Finland plc.

If a shareholder who has accepted the Tender Offer against share consideration withdraws its acceptance in accordance with the procedure described above, the temporary type of book-entry of Larox entered on the shareholder's book-entry account will be converted back into corresponding Larox shares in the book-entry system and the shares will be entered on the shareholder's book-entry account as soon as possible and within approximately three (3) Finnish banking days following the receipt of a proper notice of withdrawal.

If a shareholder or a Subscription Right holder who has accepted the Tender Offer against cash consideration or the Subscription Right offer price withdraws its acceptance in accordance with the procedure described above, the transfer restriction registered on the tendered shares or Subscription Rights on the relevant book-entry account will be removed as soon as possible and within approximately three (3) Finnish banking days following the receipt of a proper notice of withdrawal.

A shareholder or Subscription Right holder may at any time prior to the expiry of the offer period under the Tender Offer re-tender withdrawn shares and Subscription Rights by following the acceptance procedures described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The offer period under the Tender Offer expires on January 22, 2010 unless the offer period is extended.

The account operator managing the relevant book-entry account or a nominee may charge a fee for withdrawals in accordance with its price lists.

The Offer Document, together with this supplement thereto, will be available at the website of Outotec at www.outotec.com and at the website of Nordea Bank Finland Plc at www.nordea.fi/sijoita.

ANNEX 1

Larox Corporation Company announcement  18.1.2010 at 10.30 am

Write-off of deferred taxes further deepens Larox's negative result for the year
2009

Larox Corporation announced in a company announcement published in September 25, 2009 the Group result 2009 to be clearly negative because of the 4.6 million euros non-recurring costs related to the adjustment measures.

The loss, which is bigger than expected, is due to reasons beyond Larox's business operations. Following the share transaction realized at the end of December 2009 Outotec Oyj has received control of Larox and Larox has become subsidiary of Outotec Oyj.

With the change of the ownership Larox looses the confirmed losses in the taxation of certain subsidiaries, and the related deferred taxes of approximately 4 million euros will be written off in the Group financial statements 2009. Based on preliminary calculations and the write-off of deferred taxes Larox estimates that the loss will be clearly bigger than expected.

Larox will publish the result 2009 on February 9, 2010.
