Metso Corporation's conveyance of own shares based on the Share Ownership Plan 2009-2011

The Board of Directors of Metso Corporation decided in October 2008 on the Share
Ownership Plan 2009-2011. The purpose of the share ownership plan is to combine
the interests of Metso's shareholders and management to enhance the value of the
company and to bind the management to the company by offering them an incentive
scheme based on share ownership.

In order to implement the reward payments in accordance with terms of the share
ownership plan, the Board of Directors of Metso has on April 13, 2012 decided on
a conveyance of a maximum of 128,890 existing own shares held by Metso to a
total of 83 participants of the plan through a directed share issue without
consideration. The Share issue is based on the authorization granted to the
Board of Directors by Metso's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on
March 29, 2012.

The final exact number of own shares to be conveyed and the final participant
list will depend on the fulfillment of certain conditions of the share ownership
plan at the time of the conveyance, on or about April 27, 2012.
