The Board has decided to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting for
December 3, 2004.

The Board of Directors of Fiskars Corporation will propose to the EGM
the payment of an extra dividend of EUR 1.00 per A-share and EUR 0.98
per K-share. The Board will also propose a bonus issue in which two
new A-shares will be issued for each five existing A-shares and two
new K-shares for each five existing K-shares.

The following matters will be put before the EGM:

(1) Proposal concerning extra dividend
The Board proposes that, based on the approved balance sheet for the
financial year that ended on December 31, 2003, an extra dividend of
EUR 1.00 per each A-share and EUR 0.98 per each K-share be distributed
in addition to the dividend (EUR 0.31 per A-share and EUR 0.29 per K-
share) decided by the Annual General Meeting on March 16, 2004.

Should the EGM approve the Board’s proposal to pay extra dividend, the
dividend will be paid to the shareholders listed at the record date,
December 9, 2004, in the shareholder register maintained by Finnish
Central Securities Depository. The Board proposes that the extra
dividend be paid on December 17, 2004.

(2) Proposal concerning bonus issue
The Board of Directors proposes that the company’s share capital be
increased from EUR 55,364,430 to EUR 77,510,200 through a bonus share
issue.

Under the bonus issue, two (2) new A-shares will be issued for each
five (5) existing A-shares and two (2) new K-shares will be issued for
each five (5) existing K-shares, i.e. altogether 15,698,426 new A-
shares and 6,447,344 new K-shares. The calculatory nominal value of
each share is EUR 1.00/share.

The right to receive new shares under the bonus issue shall belong to
the shareholders listed in the company’s shareholder register at the
record date. The record date is December 9, 2004.

The new shares will be entered directly in the book-entry account of
the shareholder on or about December 10, 2004 provided that the
increase in share capital has been entered in the Trade Register.

The new shares carry full dividend rights for the financial year
beginning January 1, 2004 but thus not for the extra dividend for the
financial year 2003 that is proposed to the EGM above. The shares will
carry the other shareholder rights in the company from the date of
registration of the increase of share capital.

(3) Proposal concerning the sale of shares not transferred to book-
entry securities system

account, consisting of shares not transferred to the book-entry
securities system as well as of shares that have not been claimed in
the bonus issues of 1995 and 1999, in total 33,102 A-shares and 8,766
K-shares, be sold for the account of their owners.
