Tikkurila Oyj renews its commercial paper program, effective from October 14, 2015, so that the maximum aggregate nominal value of the program will be EUR 150 million. This will replace the current EUR 100 million commercial paper program. Based on this new program, Tikkurila Oyj can issue unsecured debt with a maturity of less than one year into the Finnish money markets via Danske Bank Oyj and Pohjola Pankki Oyj. This change does not cause any arrangement costs. The revolving credit facility of the bank financing agreement, announced in June 2015, acts as a back-up facility for the revised commercial paper program.

This revision aims to increase the flexibility of Group's short-term debt financing, to enable replacing some other forms of financing with direct debt from the markets, and to extend the base of potential investors.
