a share repurchase plan. The Board has resolved to use a maximum of
1.0 million euro for the repurchase of own shares, however, so that a

The shares will be repurchased based on the authorization granted by
the Annual General Meeting of Fiskars and which is valid until March
14, 2004. The shares will be purchased through public trading and used
for purposes according to the authorization. All shares to be acquired
