Kemira Oyj corrects the incorrect information that has been published in media to the effect that Kemira's share would trade on an ex-cash dividend basis as from Tuesday, March 17, 2010 as a result of a cash dividend.

- Under the authorization, the Board of Directors may decide upon a potential cash dividend in a maximum amount of 0.27 euro per share.

- The Board of Directors will decide upon the other terms related to a potential cash dividend in accordance with the Rules of the Helsinki Stock Exchange and Euroclear Finland Ltd. The authorization to decide upon a potential cash dividend is valid until May 31, 2010.

The Board of Directors of Kemira will decide upon the cash dividend on the basis of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, and Kemira will inform the market with a stock exchange release on the distribution, amount and timing of the potential cash dividend, including the record date, after such decision has been taken.
