Metso has completed the buyback of 300,000 shares for its Share Ownership Plans

Metso's decision announced on February 8, 2010 to repurchase a maximum number of
300,000 Company's own shares has been fully executed. The share repurchases
relate to the Company's incentive programs announced earlier (Metso Share
Ownership Plans 2009-12) to be used as potential reward payments in accordance
with the Plan criteria.

Own shares were purchased with the Company's distributable funds thus reducing
the Company's distributable non-restricted equity. Shares were purchased at
market price in public trading on the NASDAQ OMX in Helsinki Exchange. The
average purchase price per share was 23.47 euro and the total amount
7,040,303.60 euro. At the moment, Metso Parent Company holds 709,617 its own
shares.

Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 27,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
