Metso has obtained EUR 400 million of new long-term funding

Metso Corporation issues an EUR 400 million 7-year Eurobond under the company's
EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) program. The notes carry a fixed coupon of 2.75
percent. The issue was substantially oversubscribed with around EUR 1.5 billion
of orders, and the bond was allocated to about 170 investors. An application
will be made for a listing of the notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, where
the EMTN program is currently listed.

The new funding will extend Metso's maturity profile and the funds will be used
primarily for general corporate purposes. In addition to the new bond, Metso has
issued private placements totaling EUR 100 million during 2012.

Citigroup, Danske Bank, Nordea Markets, and SEB acted as Joint Bookrunners for
the transaction.
