3. Reason for the notification

Bittium has on October 21, 2015 announced the final result of the voluntary public tender offer for the Company's own shares ("Share") and stock options 2008C ("Stock Option") ("Offer"). According to the final result, 97,244,662 Shares were tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 73.2 percent of all the Shares and votes in the Company. In addition, 166,694 Stock Options were tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 62.0 percent of all the Stock Options in the Company.

The sale and purchase of the Shares and Stock Options validly tendered in the Offer will be executed on or about October 23, 2015. The settlement will be effected on or about October 27, 2015 (the "Settlement Date").

According to the terms and conditions of the Offer, all the Shares and Stock Options transferred in the Offer will become null and void as part of the settlement of the completion trades of the Offer, tentatively on the Settlement Date, so that the Shares and Stock Options will not come to the Company's possession.

As a result of completing the Offer Juha Hulkko will own a total of 1,700,000 Company's Shares when the settlement of the completion trades of the Offer has been effected and when the Shares and Stock Options have become null and void. Thus his holdings in Bittium will decrease below the threshold of 5 percent of the voting rights and total number of Shares of the Company.

After the Shares becoming null and void as a result of completing the Offer, the remaining number of Company's Shares will be 35,573,368. The Shares of Bittium are listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The Company has one series of Shares and each Share entitles to one vote.
