The statements contained herein are made as at the date of this document, unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and service of this document shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set forth herein since that date. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of Wärtsilä, Wärtsilä Corporation or Hamworthy except where otherwise stated. The distribution of this document and the accompanying documents in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by the laws of those jurisdictions and therefore persons into whose possession this document and/or the accompanying documents comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. Failure to comply with any such restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This document and the accompanying documents have been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, the City Code and the AIM Rules and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the UK. The availability of the Acquisition to persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Persons who are not so resident should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements in those jurisdictions. The attention of Overseas Shareholders is drawn to paragraph 12 of Part 2 (Explanatory Statement) of this document. NOTICE TO US INVESTORS IN HAMWORTHY US Holders may vote in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the meetings to be convened in connection with the Scheme. US Holders should note that the Scheme relates to the shares of a UK company that is a foreign private issuer as defined under Rule 3b-4 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the US Exchange Act ), is subject to UK disclosure requirements (which are different from those of the United States) and is proposed to be made by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under English law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement for a foreign private issuer is not subject to the proxy solicitation or tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme is subject to the disclosure requirements, rules and practices applicable in the UK to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the requirements of US proxy solicitation or tender offer rules. Financial information included in this document has been prepared, except the financial information relating to the Wärtsilä Group in Appendix IV (Historical Financial Information) and unless specifically stated otherwise, in accordance with accounting standards applicable in the UK and thus may not be comparable to the financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US. The receipt of cash pursuant to the Scheme by a US Holder as consideration for the cancellation of its Hamworthy Shares pursuant to the Scheme may be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each Hamworthy Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Scheme applicable to it. If, in the future, Wärtsilä exercises the right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, such offer will be made in compliance with applicable US laws and regulations. The Loan Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Scheme have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Nonetheless, even though the Loan Note Alternative will not be made available to US Holders, notice of the Loan Note Alternative will be given to US Holders on the same basis as it is given to other holders. Accordingly, the offer of the Loan Notes will be made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 3(a)(10) thereof. 4

The forward-looking statements contained herein include statements about the expected effects of the Acquisition on Hamworthy, Wärtsilä, the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition, synergies, other strategic options and all other statements in this document other than historical facts. Forwardlooking statements may (but will not always) include, without limitation, statements typically containing words such as targets, plans, aims, intends, expects, anticipates, believes, estimates, will, may, budget, forecasts and should and words of similar import. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and have not been reviewed by the auditors of Wärtsilä or Hamworthy. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the Conditions to the Acquisition, as well as additional factors, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in the level of capital investment, success of business and operating initiatives and restructuring objectives, customers strategies and stability, changes in the regulatory environment, fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, the outcome of litigation, government actions and natural phenomena such as floods, earthquakes and hurricanes. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and neither Wärtsilä nor Hamworthy, nor any of their respective advisers, associates, directors or officers undertakes any obligation to update publicly, express by disclaim or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required, or provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement in this document will actually occur.

Introduction On 22 November 2011, the Wärtsilä Directors and the Hamworthy Directors announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer, to be made by Wärtsilä, a whollyowned subsidiary of Wärtsilä Corporation, for the Scheme Shares. I am now writing to you to explain the background to, and terms of, the Acquisition and also to explain why the Board is unanimously recommending that you vote in favour of the Scheme and the resolutions to be proposed at the Meetings required to implement the Scheme, as the Directors have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of Hamworthy Shares and those of their spouses. Further details of the Acquisition are set out in the Explanatory Statement from Hawkpoint, Hamworthy s financial adviser, contained in Part 2 (Explanatory Statement) of this document. This document also contains notices of the Meetings at which resolutions implementing the Acquisition will be put to Hamworthy Shareholders. 2. Summary of the terms of the Acquisition It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement between Hamworthy and Scheme Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act (involving, amongst other things, a reduction of capital under chapter 10 of Part 17 of the Companies Act) although Wärtsilä may elect to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer where permitted to do so in accordance with the Code. Full details of the Scheme are set out in Part 3 (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this document. The Scheme is subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. If the Scheme and the Reduction of Capital become Effective, it is proposed that Scheme Shareholders on the register of members of Hamworthy at the Reduction Record Time will receive (subject to elections under the Loan Note Alternative explained below): for each Scheme Share 825 pence in cash The Offer Price is offered on the basis that Hamworthy Shareholders will not receive an interim dividend in respect of Hamworthy s financial year ending 31 March If a dividend were to be declared the Offer Price would be adjusted downwards on an equivalent basis. The Offer Price of 825 pence per share represents a premium of approximately: * 56.2 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 528 pence per Hamworthy Share for the twelve months ended on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; * 50.2 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 549 pence per Hamworthy Share for the three months ended on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; 11

12 c105946pu010 Proof 5: _13:54 B/L Revision: * 60.2 per cent. to the Closing Price of 515 pence per Hamworthy Share on 20 October 2011, being the last Business Day prior to Wärtsilä approaching Hamworthy with regards to the Acquisition; and * 20.4 per cent. to the Closing Price of 685 pence per Hamworthy Share on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period. In addition the Acquisition represents an EV/LTM EBITDA of 14.3x as of 30 September 2011 when including the recent acquisition by Hamworthy of AW Flow. The Acquisition values Hamworthy s entire issued and to be issued share capital at approximately 383 million. The Scheme requires the approval of Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting and of Hamworthy Shareholders at the General Meeting, both of which have been convened for 9 January The Acquisition is conditional, amongst other things, upon clearance from the German and Norwegian competition authorities. If the Scheme becomes Effective it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted in favour of the resolutions at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Further details of the Scheme are set out in Parts 2 (Explanatory Statement) and 3 (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this document. If the Scheme becomes Effective, subject to elections made under the Loan Note Alternative, cheques in respect of the Cash Consideration will be despatched by post to Scheme Shareholders at their own risk (or the Cash Consideration will be settled through CREST, as the case may be) as soon as practicable and in any event within 14 days after the Effective Date (unless the Panel agrees otherwise). 3. Loan Note Alternative As an alternative to some or all of the Cash Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled under the Scheme, Hamworthy Shareholders (other than Overseas Shareholders) will be entitled to elect to receive Loan Notes to be issued by Wärtsilä on the following basis: for every whole 1 in Cash Consideration otherwise receivable under the Scheme 1 nominal value of Loan Notes The Loan Notes will be governed by English law and will be issued, credited as fully paid, in denominations and integral multiples of 1 nominal value. The Loan Notes will have the benefit of an unsecured guarantee from Wärtsilä Corporation in respect of all obligations for the life of the Loan Notes. No fraction of a Loan Note will be issued. Each Transfer Shareholder s aggregate entitlement to Loan Notes will be rounded down to the nearest 1 and the balance of the consideration disregarded and not paid to such Transfer Shareholder. The Loan Notes will be nontransferable other than to a Noteholder s spouse, civil partner, child, step child or family trust, in each case who is not a person whose registered address is outside the United Kingdom or who is a resident of a country other than the United Kingdom. The Loan Notes will not be qualifying corporate bonds. The Loan Notes will bear interest from the date of issue to the relevant holder of the Loan Notes at a rate per annum of LIBOR. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on 30 June and 31 December in each year or, if that day is not a business day 1, on the immediately following business day (each, an Interest Payment Date ). The first Interest Payment Date will be 30 June 2012 or, if later, six months from the date of issue or, in either case if that day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day (the First Interest Payment Date ) in respect of the period from and including the date of issue of the Loan Notes up to (but excluding) the First Interest Payment Date. The Loan Notes will be redeemable at par (together with accrued interest less any tax required by law to be withheld or deducted therefrom), in whole or in part, for cash at the option of the Noteholders for the first time on the First Interest Payment Date and subsequently semi-annually on subsequent Interest Payment Dates. In certain circumstances, Wärtsilä will have the right to redeem all of the Loan Notes. If not previously redeemed, the final redemption date will be the date falling 1 Under the Loan Note Instrument, a business day means a day except a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks generally are open for business in London, England and Helsinki, Finland. 12

13 c105946pu010 Proof 5: _13:54 B/L Revision: five years after the date of issue of the Loan Notes (or, if such date is not a business day, on the next following business day). No Loan Notes will be issued unless, on or before the Loan Note Deadline, valid elections have been received in respect of at least 2 million in aggregate nominal value of Loan Notes. If insufficient elections are received, Hamworthy Shareholders electing for the Loan Note Alternative will instead receive cash in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition. If at any time on or after the First Interest Payment Date the outstanding nominal amount of Loan Notes is equal to or less than 2 million, Wärtsilä will be entitled to redeem all of the then outstanding Loan Notes. The Loan Note Alternative will be conditional upon the Acquisition becoming Effective. The Loan Notes will not be offered to Overseas Shareholders. Hamworthy Shareholders should consider carefully, in light of their own investment objectives and tax position, whether they wish to elect for Loan Notes under the Loan Note Alternative and are strongly advised to seek their own independent financial advice before making any such election. 4. Recommendation and irrevocable undertakings The Directors, who have been so advised by Hawkpoint, consider the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable so far as Hamworthy Shareholders are concerned. In providing their advice to the Directors, Hawkpoint has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Directors. The Directors unanimously recommend that Hamworthy Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, as they have irrevocably undertaken to vote or procure votes in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of Hamworthy Shares (and, where applicable, those of their spouses) amounting in aggregate to 248,815 Hamworthy Shares (representing approximately 0.55 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Hamworthy). Further details of these irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting are set out in paragraph 5 of Appendix VI (Additional Information) to this document. Copies of the irrevocable undertakings are on display on Hamworthy s website ( and will continue to be so until the closing of the Acquisition. 5. Background to and reasons for recommending the Acquisition Following an initial approach from Wärtsilä regarding a potential acquisition of Hamworthy on 21 October 2011 and a number of subsequent discussions, during which the Board of Hamworthy, in consultation with its advisers, gave careful consideration to the fundamental value of the business and the commercial and current macro-economic environment, the Board of Hamworthy believes that the recommended all-cash offer is at a level which represents fair value. In arriving at their decision to recommend the Acquisition, the Hamworthy Directors have taken into account that the terms of the Acquisition represent a significant premium as set out in paragraph 2 above. In addition, the Hamworthy Directors have taken into account that the terms of the Acquisition represent an EV/LTM EBITDA of 14.3x as of 30 September 2011 when including the recent acquisition by Hamworthy of AW Flow. The combination of Wärtsilä and Hamworthy provides a unique opportunity to drive increased penetration and cross-selling of Hamworthy s solutions on a global scale through the additional resources and assets available to the enlarged group. The Board of Hamworthy has been impressed by the vision and expertise of Wärtsilä and believes the combination will create an exciting platform for long-term growth to the benefit of customers, stakeholders and employees alike. Having considered Wärtsilä s stated current intentions for Hamworthy and having regard to Wärtsilä s size and profile, the Board of Hamworthy regards favourably the prospects for Hamworthy within the Wärtsilä Group, including for Hamworthy s places of business, management, employees and other stakeholders. 6. Intentions regarding Hamworthy and its management and employees Wärtsilä has stated that it attaches great importance to the skills, experience and industry knowledge of the existing management and employees of Hamworthy, who have contributed to Hamworthy s success to date, and whom Wärtsilä has stated that it would anticipate playing an important role in 13

14 c105946pu010 Proof 5: _13:54 B/L Revision: the development of the enlarged business. Wärtsilä has stated its intention to support Hamworthy s management in continuing to develop and execute their longer term strategy for Hamworthy. Within the period of approximately three months following completion of the Acquisition, Wärtsilä intends to perform a strategic review of Hamworthy s business and operations (the Strategic Review ). The Strategic Review is required because Wärtsilä has to date been provided with limited access to information relating to the Hamworthy Group and its employees. The Strategic Review will involve Wärtsilä considering potential areas for business integration in the enlarged Wärtsilä Group and identifying growth opportunities. Until the Strategic Review is completed, Wärtsilä cannot be certain what repercussions there will be on the employment of the management and employees of the Hamworthy Group or the Wärtsilä Group, the locations of Hamworthy s or Wärtsilä s places of business or any redeployment of Hamworthy s fixed assets. Wärtsilä has no intentions to make any changes in relation to these matters until the Strategic Review has been completed. Wärtsilä has confirmed that, upon and following completion of the Acquisition, the Hamworthy Group employers will continue to comply with the contractual entitlements of existing employees in relation to pension and employment rights. Wärtsilä has agreed that Hamworthy enter into additional agreements with Joe Oatley and Paul Crompton which provide that if the respective service contracts of either of them are terminated without cause or if they resign, in either case within 12 months from the date on which the Scheme becomes Effective, the relevant person will receive twelve months salary together with benefits and bonus at the same percentage received in the last financial year of Hamworthy. Hawkpoint, as financial adviser to Hamworthy, considers the arrangements to be fair and reasonable. No other proposals have been made to enter into any incentivisation arrangements with members of Hamworthy s management. As at the Close of Business on 9 December 2011 (the last practicable date prior to posting this document) Hamworthy had received an employee representatives opinion in relation to the Acquisition (pursuant to Rule 25.9 of the Code) from the works council of one of its subsidiaries, Hamworthy Serck Como GmbH, which is attached at Appendix IX (Employee Representatives Opinion) to this document. 7. Hamworthy Share Schemes Details of the effect of the Scheme on existing rights under the Hamworthy Share Schemes are set out in paragraph 13 of Part 2 (Explanatory Statement) of this document. Separate letters will be sent to participants in the Hamworthy Share Schemes with further details of the actions they can take in respect of their options and awards. 8. Cancellation of trading of Hamworthy Shares The attention of Hamworthy Shareholders is drawn to paragraph 11 of Part 2 (Explanatory Statement) of this document in relation to Hamworthy s intention to cancel the admission to trading of Hamworthy Shares on AIM. 9. Taxation Your attention is drawn to Appendix V (UK Taxation) to this document. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position or you are resident in a jurisdiction other than the UK, you should consult your independent professional adviser. 10. Meetings and action to be taken The Scheme and the Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the Conditions set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. In order for the Scheme to become Effective, (i) a special resolution (requiring at least 75 per cent. of votes cast) implementing the Scheme must be passed by Hamworthy Shareholders at the General Meeting, and (ii) the Scheme must also be approved by a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders present and voting, either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting, representing 75 per cent. or more in value of the Scheme Shares voted by those Scheme Shareholders. Under the Companies Act, the Scheme and the Reduction of Capital are also subject to the approval of the Court at the Scheme Court Hearing and the Reduction Court Hearing. These Court Hearings will not be held until the German and Norwegian anti-trust clearances have been received and other 14

15 c105946pu010 Proof 5: _13:54 B/L Revision: Conditions are satisfied or (where applicable) waived. If the Scheme becomes Effective it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they voted in favour of the Scheme. You will find enclosed with this document: * a blue Form of Proxy for use in respect of the Court Meeting; * a white Form of Proxy for use in respect of the General Meeting; * a green Loan Note Form of Election (holders of certificated Hamworthy Shares who are not Overseas Shareholders only); and * a reply-paid envelope for use in the United Kingdom for the return of the Loan Note Form of Election (holders of certificated Hamworthy Shares who are not Overseas Shareholders only). Whether or not you intend to attend the Meetings, you are requested to complete and sign the enclosed Forms of Proxy and return them in accordance with the instructions printed on them. Returning the Forms of Proxy will enable your votes to be counted at the Meetings in the event of your absence. Completed Forms of Proxy should be returned to the Company s registrars, Capita Registrars, by hand (during normal business hours only) or by post to Capita Registrars, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU so as to be received no later than a.m. on 7 January 2012 in relation to the Court Meeting and no later than a.m. on 7 January 2012 in relation to the General Meeting (or, in the case of any adjournment of either meeting, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting). If the blue Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not returned by such time, it may be handed to Capita Registrars on behalf of the chairman of the meeting before the taking of the poll at the Court Meeting and will still be valid. However, the white Form of Proxy for use at the General Meeting will be invalid unless it is received by a.m. on 7 January 2012 (or, in the case of any adjournment of such meeting, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting). The completion and return of the Forms of Proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting in person at either of the Meetings, or at any adjournment thereof, if you so wish and are entitled to do so. Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should contact Capita Registrars for further Forms of Proxy or photocopy the Forms of Proxy as required. Such Shareholders should also read the notes in respect of the appointment of multiple proxies as set out in Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document, and on the Forms of Proxy. To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuer s agent (ID number RA10) not later than a.m. on 7 January 2012 in the case of the Court Meeting and by a.m. on 7 January 2012 in the case of the General Meeting (or, in the case of any adjournment, not later than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuer s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Regulations. It is important that, for the Court Meeting, as many votes as possible are cast so that the Court may be satisfied that there is a fair representation of opinion of Scheme Shareholders. You are therefore strongly urged to sign and return your Forms of Proxy. If you have any questions relating to this document or the completion and return of the Forms of Proxy, please call the Company s registrars, Capita Registrars, on or, if telephoning from outside the United Kingdom, on +44 (0) , Monday to Friday from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Please note that calls to these numbers may be monitored or recorded, and no advice on the merits of the Acquisition or legal, tax or financial advice will be given.

The Acquisition values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Hamworthy at approximately 383 million. The Acquisition is to be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act (involving a reduction of capital under chapter 10 of Part 17 of the Companies Act).

That letter also states that the Directors, who have been so advised by Hawkpoint consider the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable so far as Hamworthy Shareholders are concerned. In providing its advice, Hawkpoint has taken into account the Directors commercial assessments. The Directors cannot and do not give any advice or recommendation to Scheme Shareholders as to whether, or as to what extent, they should elect for the Loan Note Alternative. Whether to elect for the Loan Note Alternative is a matter for each Scheme Shareholder to decide and will be influenced by his or her individual financial and tax circumstances. Scheme Shareholders should seek advice from their own professional independent financial advisers if they are in any doubt as to the action they should take. Hawkpoint has been authorised by the Directors to write to you to explain the Scheme and set out the terms of the Acquisition and to provide you with other relevant information. The terms of the Scheme are set out in full in Part 3 (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this document.

18 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 2. Summary of the Acquisition The Acquisition will be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement between Hamworthy and Scheme Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act (involving a reduction of capital under chapter 10 of Part 17 of the Companies Act). Full details of the Scheme are set out in Part 3 (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this document. The Scheme is subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. If the Scheme and the Reduction of Capital become Effective, it is proposed that Scheme Shareholders on the register of members of Hamworthy at the Reduction Record Time will receive (subject to elections made under the Loan Note Alternative): for each Scheme Share 825 pence in cash The Offer Price is offered on the basis that Hamworthy Shareholders will not receive an interim dividend in respect of Hamworthy s financial year ending 31 March If a dividend were to be declared the Offer Price would be adjusted downwards on an equivalent basis. The Offer Price of 825 pence per share represents a premium of approximately: * 56.2 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 528 pence per Hamworthy Share for the twelve months ended on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; * 50.2 per cent. to the average Closing Price of 549 pence per Hamworthy Share for the three months ended on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; * 60.2 per cent. to the Closing Price of 515 pence per Hamworthy Share on 20 October 2011, being the last Business Day prior to Wärtsilä approaching Hamworthy with regards to the Acquisition; and * 20.4 per cent. to the Closing Price of 685 pence per Hamworthy Share on 16 November 2011, being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period. In addition the Acquisition represents an EV/LTM EBITDA of 14.3x as of 30 September 2011 when including the recent acquisition by Hamworthy of AW Flow. The Acquisition values Hamworthy s entire issued and to be issued share capital at approximately 383 million. The Hamworthy Directors have irrevocably undertaken to procure votes in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings of Hamworthy Shares and those of their spouses which amount in aggregate to 248,815 Hamworthy Shares, representing approximately 0.55 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Hamworthy. Further details of these irrevocable undertakings are set out in paragraph 5 of Appendix VI (Additional Information) to this document. Copies of the irrevocable undertakings are on display on Hamworthy s website ( and will continue to be so until the closing of the Acquisition. Wärtsilä has reserved the right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer. If it elects to do so, additional documents will be required to be sent to Hamworthy Shareholders. In such event, the Takeover Offer will (unless otherwise agreed) be implemented on the same terms (subject to appropriate amendments, including the inclusion of an acceptance condition set at 75 per cent. of the shares to which such Takeover Offer relates or such other percentage (being more than 50 per cent.) as Wärtsilä may decide (subject to Panel consent)) as those which would apply to the Scheme. The Scheme requires the approval of Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting and the passing of a special resolution by Hamworthy Shareholders at the General Meeting, of which notices are set out in Appendices X (Notice of Court Meeting) and XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document, as well as the sanction of the Court and confirmation of the associated Reduction of Capital at the Court Hearings. The Acquisition is conditional, amongst other things, upon clearance from the German and Norwegian competition authorities. If the Scheme becomes Effective it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted in favour of the resolutions at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Subject to valid elections made under the Loan Note Alternative a payment of 825 pence in 18

19 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L cash per Scheme Share will be despatched or, where appropriate, credited through CREST to Hamworthy Shareholders within 14 days of the Effective Date (unless the Panel agrees otherwise). If the Scheme becomes Effective, the Cancellation Shares (the Scheme Shares in respect of which the holders receive Cash Consideration) will be cancelled and the Transfer Shares (the Scheme Shares in respect of which the holders receive Loan Notes) will be transferred to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s). This will occur irrespective of whether or not you attend or vote and, if you have voted, whether you have voted for or against the Scheme at the Court Meeting or the special resolution at the General Meeting. The Scheme is subject to the Conditions and further terms set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. 3. Loan Note Alternative Certain Scheme Shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive Loan Notes instead of all or part of the Cash Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled under the terms of the Acquisition. The Loan Note Alternative will be made available on the following basis: for every whole 1 in Cash Consideration otherwise receivable under the Scheme 1 nominal value of Loan Notes The Loan Notes will be governed by English law and will be issued, credited as fully paid, in denominations and integral multiples of 1 nominal value. The Loan Notes will have the benefit of an unsecured guarantee from Wärtsilä Corporation in respect of all obligations for the life of the Loan Notes. No fraction of a Loan Note will be issued. Each Transfer Shareholder s aggregate entitlement to Loan Notes will be rounded down to the nearest 1 and the balance of the consideration disregarded and not paid to such Transfer Shareholder. The Loan Notes will be nontransferable other than to a Noteholder s spouse, civil partner, child, step child or family trust, in each case who is not a person whose registered address is outside the United Kingdom or who is a resident of a country other than the United Kingdom. The Loan Notes will not be qualifying corporate bonds. The Loan Notes will bear interest from the date of issue to the relevant holder of the Loan Notes at a rate per annum of LIBOR. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on 30 June and 31 December in each year or, if that day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day (each, an Interest Payment Date ). The first Interest Payment Date shall be 30 June 2012 or, if later, six months from the date of issue or, in either case if that day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day (the First Interest Payment Date ) in respect of the period from and including the date of issue of the Loan Notes up to (but excluding) the First Interest Payment Date. The Loan Notes will be redeemable at par (together with accrued interest less any tax required by law to be withheld or deducted therefrom), in whole or in part, for cash at the option of the Noteholders for the first time on the First Interest Payment Date and subsequently semi-annually on subsequent Interest Payment Dates. In certain circumstances, Wärtsilä will have the right to redeem all of the Loan Notes. If not previously redeemed, the final redemption date will be the date falling five years after the date of issue of the Loan Notes (or, if such date is not a business day, on the next following business day). No Loan Notes will be issued unless, on or before the Loan Note Deadline, valid elections have been received in respect of at least 2 million in aggregate nominal value of Loan Notes. If insufficient elections are received, Hamworthy Shareholders electing for the Loan Note Alternative will instead receive cash in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition. If at any time on or after the First Interest Payment Date, the outstanding nominal amount of Loan Notes is equal to or less than 2 million, Wärtsilä will be entitled to redeem all of the then outstanding Loan Notes. The Loan Note Alternative will be conditional upon the Acquisition becoming Effective and will remain open for election until the Loan Note Deadline. Hamworthy Shareholders should consider carefully, in light of their own investment objectives and tax position, whether they wish to elect for Loan Notes under the Loan Note Alternative and are strongly advised to seek their own independent financial advice before making any such election. The Loan Notes are not being offered to any Overseas Shareholders. If any Overseas Shareholder purports to make an election, in full or in part, pursuant to the Loan Note Alternative, then such Overseas Shareholder will be deemed to have elected to receive the Cash 19

20 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L Consideration only and will only be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to the Scheme. UBS has advised that, based on market conditions on 9 December 2011 (the last practicable date prior to publication of this document), their estimate of the value of the Loan Notes (had they been in issue on that date) would have been not less than 99 pence per 1 in nominal value of the Loan Notes. A summary of the principal terms and conditions of the Loan Notes is set out in Appendix II (Summary of the Terms of the Loan Notes) to this document. Instructions on completing the Loan Note Form of Election are set out in Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) to this document and in the Loan Note Form of Election. A summary of certain UK tax consequences for Scheme Shareholders who validly elect for the Loan Note Alternative is set out in Appendix V (UK Taxation) to this document. 4. Background to and reasons for the Acquisition Wärtsilä believes that Hamworthy offers a strong strategic fit with, and a complementary product offering to, Wärtsilä. Both companies are well positioned in the rapidly evolving offshore, marine gas applications as well as environmental solutions markets. Wärtsilä has strategically developed its Ship Power division in recent years beyond the traditional engine technology to encompass ancillary equipment and systems to be able to provide customers with more value added marine solutions. Hamworthy, which would be integrated into Wärtsilä s Ship Power division, extends that strategy by introducing new products to Wärtsilä s current portfolio and offering excellent technology in strong market positions, on which Wärtsilä can leverage its international sales and service network. Wärtsilä believes that the combined resources and competence base will improve its potential in offshore markets, help to capture a bigger share of the growing marine gas application market as well as create a stronger position within the rapidly evolving environmental solutions markets. A combination of Wärtsilä and Hamworthy will thus deliver benefits to both businesses current and future customers and stakeholders. 5.

Structure of the Acquisition (a) Introduction It is intended that the Acquisition will be implemented by way of a Court sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Hamworthy and Scheme Shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act, involving a reduction of capital under chapter 10 of Part 17 of the Companies Act. The terms of the Scheme are set out in full in Part 3 (The Scheme of Arrangement) of this document. The procedure involves an application by Hamworthy to the Court to sanction the Scheme and to confirm the associated Reduction of Capital. As consideration under the Scheme, Scheme Shareholders will receive cash or, to the extent that they have validly elected to do so (and subject to certain terms and conditions), Loan Notes. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Wärtsilä, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wärtsilä Corporation, to become the owner of the whole of the issued share capital of Hamworthy. This is to be achieved as follows: (i) The Scheme The Scheme involves: (a) (b) the cancellation of the Cancellation Shares and the application of the reserve arising from such cancellation in paying up in full a number of New Hamworthy Shares which is equal to the number of Cancellation Shares cancelled and issuing the same, credited as fully paid, to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s) in consideration for which Scheme Shareholders will receive 825 pence in cash for each Cancellation Share held at the Reduction Record Time; and the transfer to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s) of the Transfer Shares held by Transfer Shareholders, who will receive Loan Notes in respect of their Scheme Shares under the Loan Note Alternative. (ii) Approval of the Scheme To become Effective, a special resolution (requiring at least 75 per cent. of votes cast) to approve the Scheme must be passed by Hamworthy Shareholders at the General Meeting, and the Scheme must be approved by a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting, representing 75 per cent. or more in value of the Scheme Shares voted by those Scheme Shareholders. The Scheme also requires the sanction of the Court, as well as the satisfaction or (where applicable) a waiver of the other Conditions set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. Upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not, being entitled to do so, they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. The last day of dealings in, and for registration of transfers of, Hamworthy Shares will be the last Business Day prior to the Reduction Court Hearing, following which Hamworthy Shares will be suspended from AIM. (b) The Meetings Before the Court can sanction the Scheme, the Scheme will first require approval by the Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting and the passing of a special resolution by Hamworthy Shareholders at the General Meeting. Notices of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting are set out in Appendices X (Notice of Court Meeting) and XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document, respectively. The entitlement of Hamworthy Shareholders to attend and vote and the number of votes which may be cast at the Meetings will be determined by reference to 21

22 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L holdings of Hamworthy Shares as shown on the register of members of Hamworthy at the Scheme Voting Record Time or, if such meetings are adjourned, on the register of members at 6.00 p.m. on the day two days before the relevant adjourned Meeting. * The Court Meeting The Court Meeting, which has been convened for a.m. on 9 January 2012, is being held at the direction of the Court to seek the approval of Scheme Shareholders for the Scheme. Scheme Shareholders have the right to raise any objections they may have to the Scheme at the Court Meeting. At the Court Meeting, voting will be by way of a poll and each Scheme Shareholder present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each Scheme Share held at the Scheme Voting Record Time. The approval required at the Court Meeting is a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders present and voting, either in person or by proxy, representing 75 per cent. or more in value of the Scheme Shares voted by those Scheme Shareholders. It is especially important that as many votes as possible are cast (whether in person or by proxy) at the Court Meeting so that the Court can be satisfied that there is a fair representation of Scheme Shareholder opinion. You are therefore strongly urged to complete and return the blue Form of Proxy to the Company s registrar, Capita Registrars, by a.m. on 7 January 2012 (or, if the Court Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours before the time and date of the adjourned Court Meeting). Forms of Proxy not lodged by the relevant time may be handed to the Company s registrars, Capita Registrars, on behalf of the chairman at the Court Meeting before the taking of the poll. You will find the notice of the Court Meeting set out at Appendix X (Notice of Court Meeting) to this document. * The General Meeting In addition to the Court Meeting, the General Meeting has been convened for the same date as the Court Meeting at a.m. (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting has concluded or been adjourned) to consider and, if thought fit, approve a special resolution (which requires votes in favour representing at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast) to approve: (i) (ii) (iii) the authorisation of the Directors to take all actions as they may consider necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Scheme; the cancellation and extinction of the Cancellation Shares; subject to the Reduction of Capital taking effect: 1. the capitalisation of the reserve arising on the Reduction of Capital and the issue of the New Hamworthy Shares to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee in accordance with the Scheme; and 2. the giving of authority to the Hamworthy Directors pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act to allot the New Hamworthy Shares; and (iv) certain amendments to Hamworthy s Articles as described below. Voting on the above special resolution will be on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. The chairman reserves his right to demand that the vote be held by way of a poll and, in such event, each Hamworthy Shareholder present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for every Hamworthy Share held at the Scheme Voting Record Time. You will find the notice of the General Meeting set out at Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document. The quorum for the General Meeting will be two or more members present in person or by proxy. Hamworthy Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy in respect of some or all of their Hamworthy Shares. Hamworthy Shareholders are also entitled to appoint more than one proxy. A space has been included in the Forms of Proxy for both the Court Meeting and the General Meeting to allow Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting to specify the number of Scheme Shares or (as the case may be) Hamworthy Shares in respect of which that 22

23 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L proxy is appointed. Hamworthy Shareholders who return a Form of Proxy duly executed but leave this space blank will be deemed to have appointed the proxy in respect of all of their Scheme Shares or (as the case may be) Hamworthy Shares. Hamworthy Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should contact Capita Registrars for further Forms of Proxy or photocopy the Forms of Proxy as required. Such Hamworthy Shareholders should also read the notes in respect of the appointment of multiple proxies set out in the Notice of General Meeting included at Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document and in the Forms of Proxy, and note the principles that will be applied in relation to multiple proxies. (c) (d) (e) Amendments to Hamworthy s Articles It is proposed that Hamworthy s Articles be amended so as to ensure that any Hamworthy Shares issued (for example as a result of the exercise of options or vesting of awards granted under the Hamworthy Share Schemes) on or at any time prior to the Reduction Record Time will be subject to the terms of the Scheme. It is also proposed to amend the Hamworthy Articles so that any person other than Wärtsilä or its nominee who is issued Hamworthy Shares after the Reduction Record Time will, if the Scheme becomes Effective, be obliged immediately to transfer all such Hamworthy Shares issued to it, to Wärtsilä or its nominee (and Wärtsilä and/or its nominee shall be obliged to purchase such shares), subject to a prior right for such person to transfer their resulting Hamworthy Shares to their spouse or civil partner immediately prior to their purchase by Wärtsilä and/or its nominee. The consideration payable for the transfer of such Hamworthy Shares shall be 825 pence each in cash (or such greater amount as may be payable under the Scheme, if modified in accordance with its terms). This amendment to Hamworthy s Articles will avoid any person other than Wärtsilä and/or its nominee being left with Hamworthy Shares after the Effective Date. Save for the issue of New Hamworthy Shares on the Effective Date pursuant to the Scheme, the Company will not issue any Hamworthy Shares after the Reduction Record Time until after the Effective Date. Paragraph (d) of the special resolution set out in the notice of General Meeting at Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document seeks Hamworthy Shareholder approval for such amendments. Sanction of the Scheme by the Court Under the Companies Act, the Scheme and Reduction of Capital also require the sanction of the Court. The hearings by the Court to sanction the Scheme and confirm the Reduction of Capital are expected to be held on 26 January 2012 and 30 January 2012 respectively subject to receipt of German and Norwegian anti-trust clearances by not later than 26 January If these anti-trust clearances are obtained later than anticipated, the Court Hearings may be held on later dates as appropriate. Any such amendment to the date of the Court Hearings will be communicated to Hamworthy Shareholders by an announcement via a Regulatory Information Service and published on Hamworthy s website in accordance with Rule 30.4 of the City Code. Wärtsilä has confirmed that it will be represented by counsel at the Court Hearings so as to consent to the Scheme and to undertake to the Court to be bound thereby. All Hamworthy Shareholders are entitled to attend the Court Hearings in person or through counsel, or other suitably qualified persons, to support or oppose the sanction of the Scheme. Conditions to the Acquisition The Conditions to the Scheme and the Acquisition are set out in full in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document. In summary, the implementation of the Scheme is conditional upon: (i) (ii) (iii) the approval of the Scheme by a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders present and voting, either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting (or at any adjournment of such meeting), representing 75 per cent. or more in value of the Scheme Shares voted by those Scheme Shareholders; the special resolution required to implement the Scheme and the related Reduction of Capital set out in the notice of the General Meeting contained in Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document being duly passed by the requisite majority at the General Meeting (or at any adjournment of such meeting); the receipt of the anti-trust clearances referred to in paragraph (f) below; 23

24 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L (iv) (v) the sanction (with or without modification, on terms reasonably acceptable to Hamworthy and Wärtsilä) of the Scheme and the confirmation of the Reduction of Capital by the Court and office copies of the Court Orders (together with the Statement of Capital) being delivered to the Registrar of Companies for registration; and the other Conditions set out in Appendix I (Conditions and Certain Further Terms of the Acquisition) to this document which are not otherwise summarised in paragraphs (i) to (iv) above being satisfied or (where applicable) waived. (f) (g) Anti-trust approvals The Acquisition is conditional, inter alia, upon clearances from the German and Norwegian competition authorities. Wärtsilä and Hamworthy have agreed to co-operate to obtain all regulatory approvals as promptly as reasonably practicable. Effective Date The Scheme will become Effective in accordance with its terms as soon as office copies of the Court Orders (together with the Statement of Capital) have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. If the Scheme becomes Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders irrespective of whether or not, being entitled to do so, they attended the Meetings or voted in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting or in favour of the special resolution at the General Meeting. If the Scheme does not become unconditional and Effective by 13 June 2012, or such later date (if any) as Wärtsilä and Hamworthy may, with the consent of the Panel, agree and (if required) the Court may allow, the Scheme will not become Effective and the Acquisition will not proceed. (h) (i) Modifications to the Scheme The Scheme contains provisions for Wärtsilä and Hamworthy jointly to consent, on behalf of all persons affected, to any modification of or additions to the Scheme or to any condition approved or imposed by the Court. The Court would be unlikely to approve any modifications of, or additions to, or impose a condition to the Scheme which might be materially adverse to the interests of Scheme Shareholders, unless Scheme Shareholders were informed of any such modification, addition or condition. It would be a matter for the Court to decide, in its discretion, whether or not a further meeting of Scheme Shareholders should be held in these circumstances. Alternative means of implementing the Acquisition Wärtsilä reserves the right to elect to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer where permitted to do so by the Panel (see further paragraph 10 below). 9. Irrevocable undertakings The Hamworthy Directors have irrevocably undertaken to vote or procure votes in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings of Hamworthy Shares and those of their spouses which amount in aggregate to 248,815 Hamworthy Shares, representing approximately 0.55 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Hamworthy. Further details of these irrevocable undertakings are set out in paragraph 5 of Appendix VI (Additional Information) to this document. Copies of the irrevocable undertakings are on display on Hamworthy s website ( and will continue to be so until the closing of the Acquisition. 10. Alternative means of implementing the Acquisition Wärtsilä reserves the right to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer. If it elects to do so, additional documents will be required to be sent to Hamworthy Shareholders. In such event, the Takeover Offer will (unless otherwise agreed) be implemented on the same terms (subject to appropriate amendments, including the inclusion of an acceptance condition set at 75 per cent. of the shares to which such Takeover Offer relates or such other percentage (being more than 50 per cent.) as Wärtsilä may decide (subject to Panel consent)) as those which would apply to the Scheme. 24

25 11. Suspension and de-listing of Hamworthy Shares Prior to the Scheme becoming Effective, the London Stock Exchange will be requested to cancel (i) trading in Hamworthy Shares on AIM and (ii) the listing of Hamworthy Shares on AIM, in each case, with effect from (and by no later than) 8.00 a.m. on the Effective Date. The last day of dealings in Hamworthy Shares on AIM is, unless the Meetings are adjourned or the German and Norwegian anti-trust clearances are obtained after 26 January 2012, expected to be 27 January It is expected that at 5.00 p.m. on 27 January 2012 the Hamworthy Shares will be suspended from trading on AIM and no transfers of Hamworthy Shares will be registered after 5.00 p.m. on that date. On the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of Hamworthy Shares will cease to be valid. In addition, on the Effective Date, entitlements to Scheme Shares held within the CREST system will be cancelled. 12. Overseas Shareholders The implications of the Acquisition to persons who are resident in, ordinarily resident in or who are citizens of, jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Persons who are not resident in, ordinarily resident in or who are not citizens of, the United Kingdom should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements. It is the responsibility of each of the Hamworthy Shareholders resident in, ordinarily resident in or citizens of, a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental exchange control or other consents which may be required or compliance with other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction. Any failure to comply with such applicable requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdictions. This document and the accompanying documents have been prepared for the purpose of complying with English law, the City Code and the AIM Rules and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom. Persons who are not resident in, ordinarily resident in or who are not citizens of the United Kingdom are urged to seek tax advice immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition. Neither this document nor the accompanying documents constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities pursuant to these documents or otherwise in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Loan Notes are not being offered to any Overseas Shareholders. If any Overseas Shareholders purport to make an election, in full or in part, pursuant to the Loan Note Alternative, then such Overseas Shareholder will be deemed to have elected to receive the Cash Consideration only and will only be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to the Scheme. The Loan Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Scheme have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Nonetheless, even though the Loan Note Alternative will not be made available to US Holders, notice of the Loan Note Alternative will be given to US Holders on the same basis as it is given to other holders. Accordingly, the offer of the Loan Notes will be made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 3(a)(10) thereof. For the purpose of establishing the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 3(a)(10) thereof, Hamworthy will advise the Court at the Scheme Court Hearing that its sanctioning of the Scheme will be relied upon by Wärtsilä for such purpose as an approval of the Scheme following a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Scheme to Hamworthy Shareholders, at which hearing all such holders are entitled to attend in person or through counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme and with respect to which adequate notification has been given to all such holders. Hamworthy Shareholders who are resident in, ordinarily resident in, or who are citizens of any jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom should consult their independent professional advisers as to whether they require any governmental or other consents or need to observe any other formalities to enable them to participate in the Acquisition. If a Hamworthy Shareholder is in any doubt as to his eligibility to participate in the Acquisition, he should contact his independent professional advisers immediately. 25

26 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 13. Hamworthy Share Schemes The effects of the Scheme on subsisting options and awards under the Hamworthy Share Schemes are summarised below. All Hamworthy Shares issued on the exercise of options or vesting of awards on or prior to the Reduction Record Time will be subject to the terms of the Scheme. The Scheme will not extend to Hamworthy Shares issued (for example on the exercise of options and/ or vesting of awards), after the Reduction Record Time. However, an amendment to Hamworthy s Articles is to be proposed at the General Meeting (details of which are set out in the Notice of General Meeting set out in Appendix XI (Notice of General Meeting) to this document) to the effect that Hamworthy Shares issued on the exercise of options and/or vesting of awards after the Reduction Record Time will automatically be acquired by Wärtsilä or its nominee on the same terms as the Acquisition. All Hamworthy Shares issued on the exercise of options or vesting of awards after the General Meeting and on or before the Reduction Record Time will be subject to the terms of the Scheme, by virtue of the same amendment to the Articles. The Remuneration Committee of Hamworthy has decided that it would be appropriate for all outstanding options and awards to vest in full. It has, accordingly, resolved in accordance with the rules of the Hamworthy Share Schemes that, conditionally on the Court s sanction of the Scheme, the performance targets attaching to all outstanding options and awards under the Hamworthy Share Schemes be waived so that all such rights are capable of vesting in full in accordance with the rules of the Hamworthy Share Schemes, to the extent not otherwise vested beforehand. The rules of the Hamworthy Share Schemes have been amended by the Board to facilitate the exercise of options and vesting of awards conditional on the Court s sanction of the Scheme. (a) The Hamworthy plc Company Share Option Plan 2004 and the Hamworthy plc Unapproved Share Option Plan 2004 Subsisting options granted under the Hamworthy plc Company Share Option Plan 2004 and the Hamworthy plc Unapproved Share Option Plan 2004 will become fully exercisable, to the extent they are not already exercisable, on the Court s sanction of the Scheme. Any option not exercised within six months of the date on which participants are notified of the Scheme will lapse. (b) The Hamworthy plc Co-Investment Share Plan 2007 All subsisting awards granted under the Hamworthy plc Co-Investment Share Plan 2007 will vest on the Court s sanction of the Scheme. (c) (d) The Hamworthy plc Employee Benefit Trust Hamworthy Shares held by the Hamworthy plc Employee Benefit Trust will be available to satisfy the vesting of awards under the Hamworthy plc Co-Investment Share Plan To the extent that further Hamworthy Shares are required to satisfy subsisting awards granted under the Hamworthy plc Co-Investment Share Plan 2007, Hamworthy is proposing to fund the trustee of the Employee Benefit Trust to enable it to purchase such additional Hamworthy Shares in the market. Loan Notes Participants in the Hamworthy Share Schemes who receive Hamworthy Shares on or before the Reduction Record Time on the exercise of options or vesting of awards, will (provided they are not Overseas Shareholders) be entitled to receive Loan Notes instead of some or all of the Cash Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled, in each case provided they have made valid elections for Loan Notes prior to the Loan Note Deadline. However, this will be subject to valid elections for the Loan Note Alternative being received in respect of at least 2 million in aggregate nominal value of Loan Notes. The terms of the Loan Notes are summarised in Appendix II (Summary of the Terms of the Loan Notes) to this document. (e) Communications with participants in the Hamworthy Share Schemes Participants will be sent letters setting out further details of the impact of the Scheme on their outstanding options and awards and the actions they can take in respect of their options and awards. 26

27 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 14. Settlement Subject to the Scheme becoming Effective, settlement of the Cash Consideration and/or issue of the certificates in respect of the Loan Notes to which any Shareholder is entitled thereunder will be effected within 14 days of the Effective Date in the manner set out below. Except with the consent of the Panel, settlement of consideration to which any Hamworthy Shareholder is entitled under the Scheme will be paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Scheme free of any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which Wärtsilä may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled against such Scheme Shareholder. All documents and remittances sent through the post will be sent at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto. (a) Cash Consideration where Cancellation Shares are held in uncertificated form in CREST On the Effective Date, Cancellation Shares held within CREST will be cancelled. Hamworthy Shareholders who hold Cancellation Shares in uncertificated form will receive any Cash Consideration to which they are entitled through CREST by Wärtsilä procuring the creation of a CREST payment in favour of the appropriate CREST account through which the relevant Scheme Shareholders hold such uncertificated shares in respect of the Cash Consideration due to them. As from the Reduction Record Time, each holding of Hamworthy Shares credited to any stock account in CREST shall be disabled and all Hamworthy Shares will be removed from CREST in due course thereafter. Wärtsilä reserves the right to pay all or any part of the Cash Consideration referred to above to all or any Cancellation Shareholder(s) who hold Scheme Shares in uncertificated form at the Reduction Record Time in the manner referred to in paragraph (b) below if for any reason it wishes to do so. (b) Cash Consideration where Cancellation Shares are held in certificated form On the Effective Date, Cancellation Shares held in certificated form will be cancelled and share certificates for such Scheme Shares will cease to be valid. Settlement of the Cash Consideration due under the Scheme in respect of Cancellation Shares held in certificated form shall be despatched: (i) (ii) by first-class post, by cheque drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank; or by such other method as may be approved by the Panel. All such cash payments shall be made in Sterling. Payments made by cheque shall be payable to the Cancellation Shareholder concerned. Cheques shall be despatched as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and in any event within 14 days after the Effective Date. All deliveries of cheques required to be made pursuant to the Scheme shall be effected by posting the same by first-class post in pre-paid envelopes addressed to the persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses as they appear in the register of members of Hamworthy at the Reduction Record Time, and neither Hamworthy nor Wärtsilä shall be responsible for any loss or delay in the transmission of cheques sent in this way and such cheques shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled thereto. (c) Cash Consideration payable in respect of the Hamworthy Share Schemes Any Cash Consideration payable in respect of Scheme Shares that have been issued or transferred pursuant to the exercise of options or vesting of awards under the Hamworthy Share Schemes shall (unless the Company agrees with Wärtsilä that Clauses 5.1(a) or (b) of the Scheme shall apply) be paid by Wärtsilä to the Company by electronic transfer in time for onward transmission by the Company, in such manner as the Company may determine, to the relevant Scheme Shareholder, less applicable deductions, not more than 14 days after the Effective Date. 27

28 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L (d) Loan Notes Whether Scheme Shares are held in certificated or uncertificated form, where a Scheme Shareholder validly elects to transfer some or all of his Scheme Shares in exchange for Loan Notes to be issued by Wärtsilä (on and subject to the terms set out in Appendix II (Summary of the Terms of the Loan Notes) to this document) the amount of the Loan Notes in respect of which the election is made will be issued and credited as fully paid to the electing Scheme Shareholder not more than 14 days after the Effective Date and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Notes. Certificates for the Loan Notes will be despatched by first class post or by such other method as may be approved by the Panel. Each Transfer Shareholder s aggregate entitlement to Loan Notes will be rounded down to the nearest 1 and the balance of the consideration disregarded and not paid to such holder. Under the Scheme, Overseas Shareholders will only be eligible to receive Cash Consideration and may not participate in the Loan Note Alternative. (e) Cancellation of election for the Loan Note Alternative Hamworthy must, at any time prior to the Loan Note Deadline or, if the Scheme Court Hearing is adjourned, at any time prior to 5.00 p.m. on the date seven days prior to the date of the adjourned Scheme Court Hearing, cancel or withdraw any election made for the Loan Note Alternative at the request of any Scheme Shareholder who has validly elected for the Loan Note Alternative. Consequently, if any election for the Loan Note Alternative is so cancelled or withdrawn, Capita Registrars will: (in relation to the Scheme Shares in respect of which any such election has been made) (i) as soon as possible after the date on which Hamworthy notifies Capita Registrars that any such election for the Loan Note Alternative has been cancelled or withdrawn (and, in any event, within 14 days of such notification), return the share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title relating to such Scheme Shares by post (or such other method as may be approved by the Panel); and (ii) immediately after Hamworthy notifies Capita Registrars that any such election for the Loan Note Alternative has been cancelled or withdrawn, give transfer from escrow instructions to Euroclear to transfer all such Scheme Shares which are held in escrow balances and in relation to which it is the Escrow Agent for the purposes of the Scheme to the original stock accounts of the holders of Scheme Shares concerned. All documents sent to Scheme Shareholders or their appointed agents in these circumstances will be sent at their own risk. 15. Taxation Your attention is drawn to Appendix V (UK Taxation) to this document. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position, or you are a resident or subject to taxation in a jurisdiction other than the UK, you should consult your independent professional adviser immediately. 16. Financing of the Acquisition Wärtsilä will finance the Acquisition from its existing cash resources. As required by the City Code, UBS, financial adviser to Wärtsilä, confirms that it is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to Wärtsilä to enable it to satisfy in full the Cash Consideration. 17. Directors, management and employees and the effect of the Scheme on their interests Information regarding the effect of the Acquisition on the Directors, management and employees of Hamworthy is set out in paragraph 6 of Part 1 (Letter from the Chairman of Hamworthy plc) of this document. Details of the interests of the Hamworthy Directors in the share capital of Hamworthy are set out in paragraph 4 of Appendix VI (Additional Information) to this document. Save as set out in this document the effect of the Scheme on such interests of the Hamworthy Directors will not differ from its effect on the interests of any other Scheme Shareholder. 18. Action to be taken Your attention is drawn to paragraph 10 of Part 1 (Letter from the Chairman of Hamworthy plc) of this document which explains the action you should take in relation to the Scheme. 28

33 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L THE SCHEME 1. Cancellation of Cancellation Shares 1.1 The share capital of the Company shall be reduced by cancelling and extinguishing all of the Cancellation Shares. 1.2 Forthwith and contingently upon the Reduction of Capital referred to in Clause 1.1 taking effect (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Hamworthy Articles), the reserve arising in the books of account of the Company as a result of the Reduction of Capital shall be capitalised and applied in paying up in full, such number of the New Hamworthy Shares as is equal to the number of Cancellation Shares cancelled which shall be allotted and issued credited as fully paid (free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights of any nature whatsoever) to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s). 2. Consideration for cancellation of the Cancellation Shares 2.1 In consideration for the cancellation of the Cancellation Shares and the allotment and issue of the New Hamworthy Shares as provided in Clause 1 (Cancellation of Cancellation Shares), Wärtsilä shall (subject as hereinafter provided) pay to or for the account of each Cancellation Shareholder (as appearing in the register of members of Hamworthy at the Reduction Record Time): for each Cancellation Share 825 pence in cash 3. Loan Note Alternative 3.1 Conditional on and subject to the remainder of this Clause 3 (Loan Note Alternative) and Clause 4 (Acquisition of Transfer Shares), if any Scheme Shareholder shall validly so elect in respect of all or some of his Scheme Shares, Wärtsilä shall, in consideration of the transfer of the Transfer Shares, (and subject as herein provided), allot and issue to such Transfer Shareholder (as appearing in the register of members of Hamworthy at the Reduction Record Time) Loan Notes on the following basis: for every 1 of Cash Consideration otherwise receivable under this Scheme 1 nominal value of Loan Notes provided that the Loan Note Alternative shall not be available to Overseas Shareholders. 3.2 Overseas Shareholders will be eligible to receive only Cash Consideration and may not participate in the Loan Note Alternative. Any election by an Overseas Shareholder, in full or in part, for the Loan Note Alternative will be void and such Overseas Shareholders will be deemed to have elected to receive only Cash Consideration. 3.3 If valid elections for the Loan Note Alternative would result in the issue pursuant to this Scheme of less than 2 million in aggregate nominal value of Loan Notes, Wärtsilä will not issue any Loan Notes unless Wärtsilä decides otherwise. If no Loan Notes are issued pursuant to this Clause 3, any Scheme Shares whose holders have elected for the Loan Note Alternative shall be treated as Cancellation Shares for the purposes of this Scheme, such holders shall then receive the Cash Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled under this Scheme and Clause 4 (Acquisition of Transfer Shares) shall not apply. 3.4 The Loan Notes shall be issued credited as fully paid and in amounts and integral multiples of 1 nominal value. No fraction of a Loan Note shall be issued. Each Transfer Shareholder s aggregate entitlement to Loan Notes will be rounded down to the nearest 1 and the balance of the consideration disregarded and not paid to such holder. 3.5 The election referred to in Clause 3.1 shall be made by, in the case of Scheme Shareholders who hold Scheme Shares in certificated form, the completion and delivery of a Loan Note Form of Election in accordance with the instructions set out in the Scheme Document and in the Loan Note Form of Election or by, in the case of Scheme Shareholders who hold Scheme Shares in uncertificated form, delivery of a TTE Instruction validly electing for the Loan Note Alternative. 3.6 Wärtsilä shall be entitled, in determining whether a Loan Note Form of Election is valid or not, to exercise the powers and discretions provided for in Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) to the Scheme Document. 33

34 c105946pu020 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 3.7 Upon execution and delivery by a Scheme Shareholder of a valid Loan Note Form of Election or the delivery of a TTE Instruction validly electing for the Loan Note Alternative, such Scheme Shareholder shall be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the Loan Note Form of Election and in Appendices II (Summary of the Terms of the Loan Notes) and III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) to the Scheme Document and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing): (i) shall be responsible for the declarations and warranties contained in Section D of the Loan Note Form of Election and those set out in Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) to the Scheme Document; and (ii) shall be bound by the provisions set out in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.10 of Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) to the Scheme Document. 3.8 The Loan Notes will be constituted by an instrument substantially in the form already prepared and initialled for the purpose of identification by Hogan Lovells International LLP and Ashurst LLP, solicitors for Wärtsilä and the Company respectively, with such modifications or additions, if any, as may prior to execution be agreed by Hamworthy and Wärtsilä. 3.9 If at the Reduction Record Time the number of Scheme Shares held by a person who has elected to receive Loan Notes is: (i) equal to or exceeds the number of Scheme Shares in respect of which an election for Loan Notes made by him would otherwise be effective, the validity of his election shall not be affected by any alteration in his holding of Scheme Shares between the date on which he made such election and the Reduction Record Time and any reductions in his holding shall, if applicable, be treated as disposals of those Scheme Shares in respect of which he did not elect to receive Loan Notes; or (ii) less than the number of Scheme Shares in respect of which the holder has elected to receive such Loan Notes, he shall be treated as having validly elected to receive Loan Notes in respect of all of the Scheme Shares held by him at the Reduction Record Time. 4. Acquisition of Transfer Shares 4.1 Forthwith and contingently upon the cancellation of the Cancellation Shares becoming effective in accordance with the terms of this Scheme, the allotment of the New Hamworthy Shares referred to in Clause 1.2 (Cancellation of Cancellation Shares) and the registration of such shares in the name of Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s) but subject to Clauses 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6 (Loan Note Alternative), Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s) shall acquire the Transfer Shares fully paid, with full title guarantee, free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances and other interests and together with all rights at the date of this Scheme or thereafter attached to such Transfer Shares including the right to receive and retain all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid thereon, on or after the date of this Scheme. 4.2 For such purposes, the Transfer Shares shall be transferred to Wärtsilä and/or its nominee(s) and, to give effect to such transfer, any person may be appointed by Wärtsilä to execute as transferor an instrument or instruction of transfer of any Transfer Shares and every instrument or instruction of transfer so executed shall be effective as if it had been executed by the holder or holders of the Transfer Shares thereby transferred. 5. Settlement 5.1 As soon as practicable after the Effective Date and in any event not more than 14 days thereafter, Wärtsilä shall: (a) subject to Clause 5.2, in the case of Cancellation Shares which at the Reduction Record Time are in certificated form, despatch or procure the despatch to the persons entitled thereto, or as they may direct, in accordance with the provisions of Clause 5.3, cheques for the sums payable to them in accordance with Clause 2 (Consideration for cancellation of the Cancellation Shares); (b) in the case of Cancellation Shares which at the Reduction Record Time are in uncertificated form, ensure that an assured payment obligation in respect of the sums payable in accordance with Clause 2 (Consideration for cancellation of the Cancellation Shares) to the persons entitled thereto is created in accordance with CREST assured 34

The creation of such an assured payment arrangement shall be a complete discharge of Wärtsilä s obligations under this Scheme with reference to payments through CREST. 5.6 The provisions of this Clause 5 shall take effect subject to any prohibition or condition imposed by law. 6. Certificates and cancellations 6.1 With effect from and including the Effective Date: (a) (b) (c) all share certificates representing Scheme Shares shall cease to have effect as documents of title to the Scheme Shares comprised therein and every Scheme Shareholder shall be bound at the request of the Company or Wärtsilä to deliver up such share certificates to the Company or Wärtsilä (or to any person appointed by Wärtsilä) for cancellation or to destroy such share certificates; Euroclear shall be instructed to cancel the entitlements to Scheme Shares of Scheme Shareholders who hold their Scheme Shares in uncertificated form, that is, in CREST; and as regards all Cancellation Shares, appropriate entries will be made in Hamworthy s register of members to reflect their cancellation with effect from the Effective Date. 7. Dividend mandates 7.1 Each mandate relating to payment of dividends on any Cancellation Shares and other instructions given to the Company by Cancellation Shareholders in force at the Reduction Record Time shall as from the Effective Date cease to be valid. 7.2 All mandates and other instructions to the Company in force at the Reduction Record Time relating to Transfer Shares shall, unless and until revoked or amended, be deemed as and from the Effective Date to be valid and effective mandates in relation to the payment of interest and capital and instructions to Wärtsilä in relation to the Loan Notes issued in respect thereof. 35

44 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L APPENDIX II SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE LOAN NOTES The Loan Notes will be created and issued pursuant to a resolution of the Wärtsilä Directors (or a duly authorised committee of Wärtsilä) and will each be constituted by the Loan Note Instrument executed as a deed by Wärtsilä and Wärtsilä Corporation. The issue of the Loan Notes will be conditional on the Acquisition becoming Effective. Unless Wärtsilä determines otherwise, no Loan Notes will be issued if, on or before the Loan Note Deadline, valid elections have not been received in respect of at least 2 million in aggregate nominal value of Loan Notes. If the Loan Notes are not issued, Scheme Shareholders electing for the Loan Note Alternative will instead receive cash in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition. The Loan Note Instrument will contain provisions, among other things, to the effect set out below. 1. Form and status The Loan Notes will be issued by Wärtsilä credited as fully paid, in denominations and integral multiples of 1 nominal value and shall be held subject to and with the benefit of the conditions and the provisions set out in the Loan Note Instrument. The Loan Notes constitute unsecured obligations of Wärtsilä. 2. Interest 2.1 Interest on the Loan Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed and shall accrue on a daily basis. 2.2 Interest shall be payable by Wärtsilä semi-annually in arrears on 30 June and 31 December in each year or, if that day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day (each, an Interest Payment Date ). The first Interest Payment Date shall be 30 June 2012 or, if later, the date falling six months from the Date of Issue or, in either case if that day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day (the First Interest Payment Date ) in respect of the period from and including the date of issue of the Loan Notes up to (but excluding) the First Interest Payment Date. Subsequent interest payments shall be payable in respect of periods from (and including) the preceding Interest Payment Date up to (but excluding) the next following Interest Payment Date. 2.3 The rate of interest per annum on the Loan Notes will be LIBOR. LIBOR for these purposes means: the offered rate for six-month Sterling deposits which appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (or on any successor or substitute page or service providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page for purposes of providing quotations in interest rates applicable to Sterling deposits in the London interbank market) at or about a.m. (London time) on the first day of the relevant Interest Period (or, if such day is not a business day, on the immediately following business day). 3. Redemption 3.1 Each Noteholder may, by notice, require Wärtsilä to redeem all or some of the outstanding Loan Notes held by him, on the First Interest Payment Date or on any subsequent Interest Payment Date, at par together with accrued interest (subject to any requirement by law to deduct or withhold tax) up to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date, and subject as follows: (A) (B) if the outstanding principal amount of a Noteholder s Notes is more than 1,000, the Noteholder may require redemption of (i) any amount above 1,000 in integral multiples of 100; or (ii) the entire outstanding amount of their Notes; or if the outstanding principal amount of a Noteholder s Notes is equal to or less than 1,000, the Noteholder may only require redemption of the entire outstanding amount of their Notes. 3.2 Notices must be received not later than 30 days prior to the First Interest Payment Date or the relevant subsequent Interest Payment Date (as the case may be). 44

45 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 3.3 Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled, Wärtsilä will redeem the Loan Notes on the date falling five years after the date of issue of the Loan Notes (or, if such date is not a business day, on the next following business day (the Final Redemption Date )) in full at par together with any interest accrued (subject to any requirement by law to deduct or withhold tax) up to but excluding the Final Redemption Date. 3.4 If, at any time on or after the First Interest Payment Date the outstanding nominal amount of Loan Notes is equal to or less than 2 million, Wärtsilä may, on giving to the remaining Noteholders not less than 20 days notice in writing, redeem all (but not some only) of the outstanding Loan Notes at par together with accrued interest (subject to any requirement by law to deduct or withhold tax) up to but excluding the date of repayment. 3.5 Each Noteholder shall be entitled, by notice, to require Wärtsilä to pay any principal amounts due to such Noteholder on a redemption of the Loan Notes in Euro rather than in Sterling. Wärtsilä shall also be entitled, by notice, to pay any principal amounts outstanding to Noteholders on a redemption of the Loan Notes on the Final Redemption Date or in the circumstances described in paragraph 3.4 above in Euro rather than in Sterling. 4. Repayment on default; acceleration 4.1 Each Noteholder shall be entitled, by giving written notice to Wärtsilä, to declare all of the Loan Notes held by him or her to be due and repayable immediately by Wärtsilä at par together with accrued interest (subject to any requirement by law to deduct or withhold tax) if: (A) (B) (C) (D) (E) Wärtsilä fails within 30 days of the due date to make any payment of principal to such Noteholder; Wärtsilä fails within 30 days of the due date to make any payment of interest to such Noteholder; any effective resolution is passed or order is made for the winding up or dissolution of Wärtsilä save for the purpose of a solvent reorganisation, reconstruction or amalgamation under which a successor or successors undertake to fulfil the obligations of Wärtsilä under the Loan Notes; an administration order is made or a receiver, manager or administrator is appointed in relation to Wärtsilä and such appointment is not discharged within 30 days; or Wärtsilä makes an arrangement or composition with its creditors generally or Wärtsilä makes an application to a court of competent jurisdiction for protection of its creditors (other than in the latter case for the purpose of a solvent voluntary reconstruction or amalgamation). 4.2 Wärtsilä shall notify the Noteholders as soon as reasonably practicable of the occurrence of any of the events described in paragraph 4.1 above. 5. Purchase and cancellation 5.1 Wärtsilä or any member of the Wärtsilä Group may at any time purchase any of the Loan Notes at any price by tender (as available to all Noteholders alike) or private treaty or otherwise by agreement with the relevant Noteholder. 5.2 Any Loan Notes redeemed or purchased by Wärtsilä will be cancelled and may not be re-issued or re-sold. 6. Registration and transfer 6.1 The whole amount of a Noteholder s Loan Notes (whatever the amount) or any part of his holding of Loan Notes, in the latter case only in amounts or integral multiples of 1, are nontransferable other than to a Noteholder s spouse, civil partner, child, step child or family trust, in each case who is not a person whose registered address is outside the United Kingdom or who is a resident of a country other than the United Kingdom. 6.2 The Wärtsilä Directors may refuse to register a transfer unless the requirements set out in the Loan Note Instrument are complied with in respect of the provision of documentation and evidence of the right to transfer, in which case it shall send notice of such refusal to the transferee within two months of receipt of the transfer. 45

46 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 6.3 No transfer of any holding of Loan Notes will be registered during the 14 days immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date or a date by which a payment in respect of interest or principal is required to be made by Wärtsilä. 7. Parent guarantee The Loan Notes will have the benefit of an unsecured guarantee from Wärtsilä Corporation in respect of all obligations for the life of the Loan Notes. 8. Substitution of principal debtor The Loan Notes contain provisions entitling Wärtsilä without the consent of the Noteholders, to: (A) (B) substitute any member of the Wärtsilä Group as the principal debtor or debtors under the Loan Note Instrument in respect of all or any of the Loan Notes, provided that such substitution would not constitute a disposal of the Loan Notes (or any of them) by the Noteholders for the purposes of United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains; or require all, or any, of the Noteholders to exchange the Loan Notes for loan notes of the same principal value issued on the same terms by any other member or members of the Wärtsilä Group, provided that such exchange will fall within the provisions of section 135 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 and prior clearance has been received from the HMRC under section 138 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of such exchange, provided in each case that the obligations under the Loan Notes or any loan notes exchanged for the Loan Notes continue to be guaranteed by Wärtsilä Corporation on substantially the same terms as those set out in the Loan Note Instrument. 9. Taxation Payments of principal or interest made under the terms of the Loan Notes will be made after deduction or withholding of any amount required by law. No additional amount shall be required to be paid by Wärtsilä as a result of or in connection with any withholding or deduction. 10. Modification The provisions of the Loan Note Instrument and the rights of the Noteholders are subject to modification, abrogation or compromise by Wärtsilä with the sanction of a special resolution of the Noteholders. Wärtsilä may amend the provisions of the Loan Note Instrument without the consent of the Noteholders, if (in the opinion of the Wärtsilä Directors, acting reasonably), such amendment is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is required to correct a manifest error and provided that no such amendment may be made which would be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders. 11. Governing law The Loan Notes and the Loan Note Instrument will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. The courts of England will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, dispute or matter of difference which may arise in connection with the Loan Note Instrument. 12. Restriction on offering Loan Notes The Loan Notes will not be issued to any Overseas Person. 13. No recommendation The Hamworthy Directors cannot and do not give any advice or recommendation to Hamworthy Shareholders as to whether, or to what extent, they should elect for the Loan Note Alternative in connection with the Scheme. Whether to elect for the Loan Note Alternative is a matter for each Hamworthy Shareholder to decide and will be influenced by their individual financial and tax circumstances. Hamworthy Shareholders should seek advice from their own independent financial and/ or tax advisers if they are in any doubt as to the action they should take. 46

47 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L 14. Loan Note valuation UBS has advised that, based on market conditions on 9 December 2011 (the last practicable date prior to publication of this document), their estimate of the value of the Loan Notes (had they been in issue on that date) would have been not less than 99 pence per 1 in nominal value of the Loan Notes. 47

48 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L APPENDIX III PROCEDURE FOR ELECTING FOR THE LOAN NOTE ALTERNATIVE If you hold Scheme Shares in certificated form and you wish to elect for the Loan Note Alternative you must complete the green Loan Note Form of Election in respect of your holding of Scheme Shares and send it using the reply-paid envelope provided with this document (for use in the UK only) or otherwise by post or by hand (during normal business hours only) to Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU by the Loan Note Deadline. If your Scheme Shares are held in uncertificated form through CREST and you are eligible and wish to elect for the Loan Note Alternative, then you should send (or, if you are a CREST personal member, procure that your CREST sponsor sends) a TTE Instruction to Euroclear in accordance with the instructions set out in paragraph 1.2 below. Please telephone the Capita Registrars helpline on (between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. (London time) on any Business Day) or if you are calling from outside the UK on +44 (0) , if you need further copies of the Loan Note Form of Election or if you have queries relating to the Loan Note Form of Election. Overseas Shareholders may not participate in the Loan Note Alternative, and will not be entitled to receive Loan Notes and will be entitled to receive only Cash Consideration pursuant to the Scheme. The Loan Notes that may be issued pursuant to the Scheme have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Nonetheless, even though the Loan Note Alternative will not be made available to US Holders, notice of the Loan Note Alternative will be given to US Holders on the same basis as it is given to other holders. Accordingly, the offer of the Loan Notes will be made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 3(a)(10) thereof. By completing the Loan Note Form of Election, or making a TTE Instruction electing for the Loan Note Alternative you thereby represent and warrant that you are not an Overseas Shareholder. Any person electing for the Loan Note Alternative who is unable to give the declarations and warranties contained in Section D of the Loan Note Form of Election and referred to in this Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative) may be deemed not to have made a valid election under the Loan Note Alternative. Wärtsilä and its agents reserve the right in their sole discretion to reject any Loan Note Form of Election they believe violates the laws of any jurisdiction. 1. Electing to receive the Loan Note Alternative 1.1 Scheme Shares in certificated form To elect to receive the Loan Note Alternative in respect of some or all of your Scheme Shares held in certificated form, you must complete and return a green Loan Note Form of Election. If you have more than one holding of Scheme Shares, you are requested to complete a separate Loan Note Form of Election for each holding of Scheme Shares. You must check that the details in Section A of the Loan Note Form of Election are correct (and, if your details have changed, please update where indicated). If you wish to elect for the Loan Notes instead of all or part of the Cash Consideration, you should insert in Box B the number of Scheme Shares in respect of which you wish to receive only Loan Notes in connection with the Acquisition. You must insert a whole number of Scheme Shares. Loan Notes will not be issued in respect of any fraction of a Scheme Share. You may make a valid election by writing All in Box B in which case the election will apply in respect of all Scheme Shares which you hold at the Scheme Record Time. If Box B is left blank or a number greater than your registered holding of Scheme Shares is inserted in Box B, the number inserted in Box B shall be deemed to be the maximum number of Scheme Shares in respect of which you are entitled to make an election under the Loan Note Alternative. If the figure in Box B is less than the total number of Scheme Shares held by you at the Reduction Record Time, you will receive a sum of Cash Consideration for the balance. You must then (if you are an individual), sign and date Section F of the Loan Note Form of Election in the presence of a witness in accordance with the instructions printed on the form. Alternatively, a company: * may affix its common seal in Section F of the Loan Note Form of Election, which should be affixed and witnessed in accordance with its articles of association or other regulations; 48

49 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L * to which sections 44 or 48 of the Companies Act applies, may execute the Loan Note Form of Election as a deed by two directors or one director and the company secretary signing in the execution part of Section F; or * to which section 44 of the Companies Act applies, may execute the Loan Note Form of Election as a deed by a director signing in the execution part of Section F in the presence of a witness. In all cases, the name of the company must be inserted above the relevant signatures and the name of the person signing and the office he/she holds must be stated. By executing and delivering a Loan Note Form of Election, you will thereby represent and warrant that you are not an Overseas Shareholder and that you will not be acquiring, and will not be holding, the Loan Notes for the account or benefit of an Overseas Shareholder or with a view to the offer, sale, re-sale, delivery or transfer, directly or indirectly, of such Loan Notes to or for the benefit of any Overseas Shareholder or any other person whom you have reason to believe is purchasing for the purpose of such offer, sale, re-sale, delivery or transfer. A completed Loan Note Form of Election (together with your share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title) should be returned and signed in accordance with instructions printed on the form, by post or by hand (during normal business hours only) in the reply paid envelope provided to Capita Registrars, Corporate Actions, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU as soon as possible, but in any event so as to be received by the Loan Note Deadline. No acknowledgement of receipt of documents will be given. Please note that, if you elect for the Loan Note Alternative in respect of Scheme Shares which are held in certificated form and if you fail to return the Loan Note Form of Election by the Loan Note Deadline in accordance with the instructions set out above, your election for the Loan Note Alternative will to that extent be invalid and you will receive the Cash Consideration as if you had not elected for the Loan Note Alternative. 1.2 Scheme Shares in uncertificated form If your Scheme Shares are held in uncertificated form, through CREST, you should take (or procure to be taken) the action set out below to transfer the Scheme Shares in respect of which you wish to elect for the Loan Note Alternative to an escrow balance, using a TTE Instruction specifying Capita Registrars (in its capacity as a CREST participant under Capita Registrars participant ID referred to below) as the Escrow Agent, as soon as possible and, in any event, so that the TTE Instruction settles no later than the Loan Note Deadline. If you are a CREST personal member, you should refer to your CREST sponsor before taking any action. Your CREST sponsor will be able to confirm details of your participant ID and the member account ID under which your Scheme Shares are held. In addition, only your CREST sponsor will be able to send the TTE Instruction to Euroclear in relation to your Scheme Shares. You should send (or procure that your CREST sponsor sends) a TTE Instruction to Euroclear which must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear s specifications and which must contain, in addition to the other information that is required for a TTE Instruction to settle in CREST, the following details: * the total number of Scheme Shares to be transferred to an escrow balance. This is the number of Scheme Shares in respect of which you wish to elect for the Loan Note Alternative; * your member account ID; * your participant ID; * the participant ID of the Escrow Agent. This is RA10; * the member account of the Escrow Agent. This is 27559HAM; * the intended TTE Instruction settlement date. This should be as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than the Loan Note Deadline; * the corporate action ISIN number for the Acquisition. This is GB00B01VFV79; * input with standard delivery instruction priority of 80; * the Corporate Action number for the transaction which is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant Corporate Actions details in CREST; and * a contact name and telephone number should be inserted into the shared note field. 49

50 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L After settlement of the TTE Instruction, you will not be able to access the Scheme Shares concerned in CREST for any transaction or for charging purposes. If the Scheme becomes Effective, the Escrow Agent will transfer the Scheme Shares concerned to Wärtsilä. You are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual for more information on the CREST procedures outlined above. If you hold your Scheme Shares in CREST and make or are treated as making a valid election for the Loan Note Alternative through a TTE instruction, you will thereby represent and warrant that you are not a Overseas Shareholder and that you will not be acquiring, and will not be holding, the Loan Notes for the account or benefit of a Overseas Shareholder or with a view to the offer, sale, resale, delivery or transfer, directly or indirectly, of such Loan Notes to or for the benefit of any Overseas Shareholder or any other person whom you have reason to believe is purchasing for the purpose of such offer, sale, re-sale, delivery or transfer. You should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with a TTE Instruction and its settlement. You should ensure that all necessary action is taken by you (or by your CREST sponsor) to enable a TTE Instruction relating to your Scheme Shares to settle prior to the Loan Note Deadline. In this respect, you are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning the practical limitations of the CREST systems and timings. Please note that, if you elect for the Loan Note Alternative in respect of Scheme Shares which are held in CREST and if you fail to ensure the TTE Instruction is to settle prior to the Loan Note Deadline in accordance with the instructions set out above, your election for the Loan Note Alternative will to that extent be invalid and you will receive the Cash Consideration as if you had not elected for the Loan Note Alternative. If any Loan Note Form of Election is received or where applicable, a TTE Instruction settles after the Loan Note Deadline, or is received or settles before such time and date but is not valid or complete in all respects as at such time and date, such election shall not, for any purpose, be entitled to receive any Loan Notes under the Loan Note Alternative but will instead receive Cash Consideration pursuant to the Scheme. 2. Other terms relating to the Loan Note Form of Election 2.1 Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Appendix III (Procedure for Electing for the Loan Note Alternative), Wärtsilä reserves the right (subject to the terms of the Acquisition and the terms of the City Code) to treat as valid in whole or in part any election for the Loan Note Alternative which is not entirely in order. In that event, no Loan Notes will be issued in respect of such election under the Loan Note Alternative until after the relevant share certificate(s) and/ or other document(s) of title or indemnities satisfactory to Wärtsilä have been received. 2.2 The Loan Note Form of Election, all elections thereunder, all actions taken or made or deemed to be taken or made pursuant to any of these terms and the relationship between a Scheme Shareholder and Wärtsilä or Capita Registrars shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law. 2.3 Execution of a Loan Note Form of Election by or on behalf of a Scheme Shareholder will constitute his agreement that the courts of England are (subject to paragraph 2.4 below) to have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise in connection with the creation, validity, effect, interpretation or performance of the legal relationships established by the Loan Note Form of Election or otherwise arising in connection with the Acquisition and the Loan Note Form of Election, and for such purposes that he/she irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England. 2.4 Execution of a Loan Note Form of Election by or on behalf of a Scheme Shareholder will constitute his agreement that the agreement referred to in paragraph 2.3 above is included for the benefit of Wärtsilä, Capita Registrars and/or its or their respective agents and, accordingly, notwithstanding the agreement in paragraph 2.3 above, each of Wärtsilä, Capita Registrars and/ or its or their respective agents shall retain the right to, and may in its or their absolute discretion, bring proceedings in the courts of any other country which may have jurisdiction and that the electing shareholder irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of any such country. 2.5 All powers of attorney, appointments as agent and authorities on the terms conferred by or referred to in this document or in the Loan Note Form of Election are given by way of security for the performance of the obligations of the Scheme Shareholder concerned and are irrevocable 50

51 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L (in respect of powers of attorney in accordance with section 4 of the UK Powers of Attorney Act 1971) except as required by law or determined by the Panel in accordance with the City Code. 2.6 No acknowledgement of receipt of any Loan Note Form of Election, communication, notice, share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title will be given by or on behalf of Wärtsilä. 2.7 All communications, notices, certificates, documents of title and remittances to be delivered by or sent to or from any Scheme Shareholders (or their designated agents) in respect of the Loan Note Alternative will be delivered by or sent to or from them (or their designated agents) at their own risk. No such document shall be sent to an address outside of the UK. 2.8 Neither Wärtsilä, Wärtsilä Corporation nor any of their respective advisers nor any person acting on its or their behalf shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of elections under the Loan Note Alternative. 2.9 Hamworthy must, at any time prior to the Loan Note Deadline or, if the Scheme Court Hearing is adjourned, at any time prior to 5 p.m. on the date seven days prior to the date of the adjourned Scheme Court Hearing, cancel or withdraw any election made for the Loan Note Alternative at the request of any Scheme Shareholder who has validly elected for the Loan Note Alternative. Consequently, if any election for the Loan Note Alternative is so cancelled or withdrawn, Capita Registrars will (in relation to the Scheme Shares in respect of which any such election has been made) (i) as soon as possible after the date on which Hamworthy notifies Capita Registrars that any such election for the Loan Note Alternative has been cancelled or withdrawn (and, in any event, within 14 days of such notification), return the share certificate(s) and/or other documents of title relating to such Scheme Shares by post (or such other method as may be approved by the Panel); and (ii) immediately after Hamworthy notifies Capita Registrars that any such election for the Loan Note Alternative has been cancelled or withdrawn, give transfer from escrow instructions to Euroclear to transfer all such Scheme Shares which are held in escrow balances and in relation to which it is the Escrow Agent for the purposes of the Scheme to the original stock accounts of the holders of Scheme Shares concerned. All documents sent to holders of Scheme Shares or their appointed agents in these circumstances will be sent at their own risk If you hold your Scheme Shares in certificated form, if the Scheme does not become effective in accordance with its terms, all documents of title lodged pursuant to the Scheme will be returned by post as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within 14 days of the Scheme lapsing) at the risk of the relevant Scheme Shareholders. If you hold your Scheme Shares in uncertificated form, and the Scheme does not become Effective, Capita Registrars will transfer back to you all of your Scheme Shares that were transferred to the escrow balance. All documents sent to Scheme Shareholders or their appointed agents in these circumstances will be sent at their own risk. 51

54 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L APPENDIX V UK TAXATION United Kingdom Taxation The following paragraphs, which are intended to be a general guide only, are based on current UK tax legislation and what is understood to be the current practice of Her Majesty s Revenue & Customs. They summarise certain limited aspects of the UK taxation treatment of the Acquisition and relate only to the position of Scheme Shareholders who are resident or ordinarily resident or domiciled in the UK for taxation purposes and who hold their Scheme Shares beneficially as an investment (other than under a personal equity plan or an individual savings account) and who have not (and are not deemed to have) acquired their Scheme Shares by virtue of an office or employment. They do not address the UK tax consequences for Scheme Shareholders who are brokers, dealers or traders in shares or securities. Special considerations may also apply to Scheme Shareholders who have acquired or acquire their Scheme Shares under the Hamworthy Share Schemes, including provisions imposing a charge for income tax. The below summary is not intended to provide specific advice and no action should be taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon it. Any person who is in any doubt as to his taxation position, or who is subject to taxation in a jurisdiction other than the UK, should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser immediately. 1. United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains Liability to United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains will depend on a Scheme Shareholder s individual circumstances and on the form of consideration received. 1.1 Cash The receipt by a Scheme Shareholder of Cash Consideration payable under the terms of the Scheme should constitute a disposal (or part disposal) of his Scheme Shares for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains which may, depending on the Scheme Shareholder s individual circumstances (including the availability of exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses), give rise to a liability to UK taxation of chargeable gains or an allowable loss. Any chargeable gain on such a disposal will be computed on the basis of an apportionment of the allowable cost to the Scheme Shareholder of acquiring his Scheme Shares, by reference to their market value at the date of the disposal. An individual Scheme Shareholder whose total taxable income and gains after all allowable deductions are less than the upper limit of the basic rate income tax band (currently 35,000) will be liable to capital gains tax at the current rate of 18 per cent. An individual Scheme Shareholder with chargeable gains above that limit will be subject to capital gains tax at the current rate of 28 per cent. A corporate Scheme Shareholder with profits above the upper limit (currently 1,500,000) will be liable to corporation tax on chargeable gains at the current rate of 26 per cent. A corporate Scheme Shareholder with profits below the lower limit (currently 300,000) will be liable to corporation tax on chargeable gains at the current rate of 20 per cent. Marginal relief applies where a company s profits fall between 300,000 and 1,500, Loan Notes In general, a Transfer Shareholder who, either alone or together with persons connected with him, does not hold more than five per cent. of, or of any class of, the shares or debentures of Hamworthy should not be treated as having made a disposal of his Transfer Shares for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains to the extent that he receives Loan Notes as consideration for the exchange of his Transfer Shares following a valid election under the Loan Note Alternative under the Scheme. He should, to that extent, be treated in the manner described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below. Any Transfer Shareholder who, either alone or together with persons connected with him, holds more than five per cent. of, or of any class of, shares or debentures of Hamworthy is advised that provided the Scheme is being carried out for bona fide commercial purposes and does not form part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance of liability to capital gains tax or corporation tax, he should be treated in the manner described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below. It is not intended that a clearance be made to HMRC under section 138 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of the Loan Note Alternative. 54

55 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L (a) (b) UK tax resident non-corporate Transfer Shareholders For a Transfer Shareholder who is a UK tax resident individual shareholder, the Loan Notes should be treated as non-qualifying Corporate bonds and accordingly any chargeable gain or allowable loss which would otherwise have arisen on a disposal of Transfer Shares by an individual shareholder should be rolled over into the Loan Notes and the Loan Notes should be treated as the same asset as his Transfer Shares acquired at the same time and price as his Transfer Shares. A subsequent disposal or part disposal of Loan Notes (including redemption) may, depending on individual circumstances, give rise to a liability to UK taxation on chargeable gains. Any chargeable gain or allowable loss on the disposal or part disposal (including redemption) of the Loan Notes should be calculated taking into account the original cost of the holder of acquiring the relevant Transfer Shares. An individual Transfer Shareholder whose total taxable income and gains after all allowable deductions are less than the upper limit of the basic rate income tax band (currently 35,000) will be liable to capital gains tax at the current rate of 18 per cent. An individual Transfer Shareholder with chargeable gains above that limit will be subject to capital gains tax at the current rate of 28 per cent. UK tax resident corporate Transfer Shareholders For a Transfer Shareholder within the charge to UK corporation tax, the Loan Notes will be qualifying corporate bonds for the purposes of UK taxation on chargeable gains. Accordingly, the whole of any chargeable gain or allowable loss which would have arisen on a disposal of Transfer Shares at market value immediately prior to the exchange of Transfer Shares for Loan Notes will be held over and deemed to accrue on a subsequent disposal or part disposal (including redemption) of the Loan Notes. No further indexation allowance will be available to a corporate Transfer Shareholder for the period during which any gain is held over in this way. Any profit, gain or loss accruing to such a corporate Transfer Shareholder in respect of a Loan Note on a disposal (including redemption) of the Loan Note (other than the held over gain which will be dealt with as referred to above) will not give rise to a charge to UK corporation taxes on chargeable gain or, as the case may be, an allowable loss for the purpose of United Kingdom taxation of chargeable gains, but will be taxed or relieved as income in accordance with paragraph 2.3 below. 2. Taxation of interest on Loan Notes 2.1 Finnish withholding tax Noteholders who are not resident in Finland for tax purposes and do not engage in trade or business through a permanent establishment in Finland will not be subject to Finnish taxes on payments in respect of the Loan Notes. 2.2 UK taxation of Non-corporate Noteholders The gross amount of the interest on the Loan Notes will form part of the recipient s income for the purposes of UK income tax and will be subject to income tax at the applicable rate depending on the individual s other taxable income, credit being allowed for Finnish tax withheld (if any). On a transfer or disposal (including redemption) of Loan Notes by an individual, a charge to UK income tax may arise under the accrued income scheme in respect of the interest on the Loan Notes which has accrued since the preceding interest payment date. 2.3 UK taxation of Corporate Noteholders Under Part 5 of the Corporation Tax Act 2009, a Noteholder within the charge to UK corporation tax in respect of the Loan Notes will generally bring into the charge to corporation tax as income, interest on, and any profits and gains arising from, the Loan Notes in accordance with the Noteholder s statutory accounts provided that these accounts are prepared broadly in accordance with any generally accepted accounting practice (whether UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice or International Financial Reporting Standards). 2.4 Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax ( SDRT ) No stamp duty or SDRT should be payable by Scheme Shareholders as a result of the Scheme. 55

As required by the Code, UBS, financial adviser to Wärtsilä, confirms that it is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to Wärtsilä, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wärtsilä Corporation, to enable it to satisfy in full the Cash Consideration. 8. Material contracts Share purchase agreement in relation to the purchase of AW Flow Holdings Limited On 3 October 2011, a share purchase agreement was entered into between Hamworthy International Limited (a member of the Hamworthy Group) ( Hamworthy International ) as the purchaser, Hamworthy as its guarantor and Mark Picton Anselt and John Wall as the sellers (the Sellers ). The share purchase agreement set out the terms on which Hamworthy International agreed to purchase and the Sellers agreed to sell the entire issued share capital of AW Flow Holdings Limited million was paid on completion (comprising 19.2 million paid to the Sellers on completion and 2.4 million paid into an escrow account to be released to the Sellers following a retention period) with a further 2.4 million of deferred consideration payable over the next two years. The share purchase agreement also provided for a working capital and net debt/cash position adjustment mechanism which is currently expected to result in an additional payment of 1.8 million to the Sellers. If Hamworthy International fails to make any further payment due (and not disputed) under the share purchase agreement, then Hamworthy will pay the amount within 10 days of such sum being validly demanded from it. The share purchase agreement contains covenants, representations, warranties and indemnities which are customary for this type of transaction. Letter agreements between Hamworthy and Joe Oatley and Paul Crompton setting out their amended termination rights On 21 November 2011 Hamworthy entered into additional letter agreements with Joe Oatley and Paul Crompton which provide that, if the respective service contract of either of them is terminated without cause or if they resign, in either case within 12 months from the date on which the Scheme becomes Effective, the relevant person will receive twelve months salary together with benefits and bonus at the same percentage received in the last financial year of Hamworthy. Hawkpoint, as financial adviser to Hamworthy, considers the arrangements to be fair and reasonable. The terms of these letter agreements were approved by the Company s Remuneration Committee and agreed to by Wärtsilä. Letter between Hamworthy and Wärtsilä confirming the agreed position in relation to how the Hamworthy Share Schemes will be treated In a letter agreement from Hamworthy to Wärtsilä dated 21 November 2011, Hamworthy informed Wärtsilä that the Company s Remuneration Committee had resolved that it would be appropriate for all options and awards under the Hamworthy Share Schemes to vest in full. 64

65 c105946pu030 Proof 5: _13:55 B/L Wärtsilä acknowledged and agreed to this, and to the Hamworthy Articles being amended to allow Hamworthy Shares awarded to participants in the Hamworthy Share Schemes to be acquired by Wärtsilä, by counter-signing the letter. Confidentiality undertaking On 4 November 2011 Wärtsilä Corporation entered into a confidentiality undertaking with Hamworthy in relation to the Acquisition including customary confidentiality provisions and undertakings by Wärtsilä not to solicit Hamworthy s employees, customers and suppliers. 9. Ratings No ratings agency has publicly accorded Wärtsilä, Wärtsilä Corporation or Hamworthy with any current credit rating or outlook. 10. Effect of completion of the Acquisition As at 30 September 2011 Wärtsilä Corporation had a net asset position of c1,571m (total assets of c4,439m and total liabilities of c2,868m). The assets and liabilities of a consolidated Wärtsilä Corporation and Hamworthy would be comprised of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Wärtsilä Corporation and Hamworthy as at the date of the Acquisition. When incorporating the assets and liabilities of Hamworthy at the date of the Acquisition, Wärtsilä Corporation would continue to have a positive net asset position. As at 30 September 2011 Wärtsilä Corporation had a net cash position of c54m (cash and cash equivalents of c658m and interest bearing debt of c604m). Given the intention to finance the Acquisition from existing cash resources, the Acquisition will impact Wärtsilä Corporation s balance sheet by reducing its net cash position by approximately the Enterprise Value of Hamworthy (as noted in Paragraph 3 of Appendix VII (Bases and Sources) to this document) which will move Wärtsilä Corporation from a net cash position to a net debt position. Wärtsilä expects that the Acquisition will be accretive to earnings per share in the first twelve months following the Acquisition. 11.

The consentaneous recommendation of the Board of Directors to the shareholders to approve the take over, gives us confidence in Wärtsilä s operational fairness. Therefore we look forward to the coming months with positive expectations. We are especially exited to have the first concrete contacts of our business with Wärtsilä, as we see our future in the Wartsila power plant division. We expect a win-win situation from both sides. Our product groups: * Fresh water generators land: a product with future potential especially in combination with bigger Diesel engines * Water cooled condensers in combination with turbines in power plants * Air cooled condensers in combination with turbines in power plants * Fresh water generators for ships are replaced with a different technology The works council of Hamworthy Serck Como has no concerns at all about a take over from Wärtsilä. We hope for synergy effects in the area of research and development as well as using the sales network to further improve the business. Therefore we are looking positively forward the integration into the Wärtsilä group and will actively support the process. Geestacht, Best regards Christian Wende (Head of Works council) 74
