APPENDIX - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE SALE AND PERSONNEL OFFERING

In the share sale (the "Share Sale"), AKT Holdings S.à r.l. (the "Seller") is offering for purchase preliminarily a minimum of 10,000,000 and a maximum of 11,500,000 shares (the "Sale Shares") of Asiakastieto Group Plc ("Asiakastieto" or the "Company") to (i) private individuals and entities in Finland (the "Public Share Sale") and (ii) to institutional investors in Finland and internationally (the "Institutional Share Sale"). In addition, the Company is offering for subscription to the Company`s personnel in Finland preliminary a maximum of 100,000 new shares of the Company and in possible oversubscription situations a maximum of 50,000 additional new shares of the Company (the "Personnel Shares" and, together with the Sale Shares, the "Offer Shares") (the "Personnel Offering").

The Offer Shares represent preliminarily a maximum of approximately 76.7 per cent of the shares of the Company (the "Shares") and votes before the Personnel Offering and approximately 76.8 per cent after the Personnel Offering, assuming that all preliminarily offered Personnel Shares are fully subscribed for and no additional new Personnel Shares are subscribed for in the Personnel Offering and the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) is not exercised.

The terms and conditions of the Public Share Sale, the Institutional Share Sale and the Personnel Offering are comprised of the general terms and conditions presented herein as well as the special terms and conditions applicable to the Public Share Sale, the Institutional Share Sale, and the Personnel Offering.

The Company and the Seller have appointed Danske Bank A/S, Helsinki Branch ("Danske Bank") to act as the Sole Bookrunner and Pohjola Bank plc ("Pohjola") as the Senior Co-Lead Manager for the Share Sale and Personnel Offering (together, the "Managers").

Share Sale

The Seller is offering for purchase preliminarily a minimum of 10,000,000 and a maximum of 11,500,000 Sale Shares in the Public Share Sale and the Institutional Share Sale. The Sale Shares represent preliminarily a maximum of approximately 76.7 per cent of the Shares and votes before the Personnel Offering and approximately 76.2 per cent after the Personnel Offering, assuming that all Personnel Shares preliminarily offered are fully subscribed for and no additional new Personnel Shares are subscribed for in the Personnel Offering, and the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) is not exercised.

Personnel Offering

The Seller resolved, as the sole shareholder of the Company, on 10 March 2015 to authorise the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") to decide on an increase in the number of the Shares by a total maximum of 150,000 new Personnel Shares. Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors resolved to issue a directed share offering to the Company`s personnel in Finland amounting preliminarily to a maximum of 100,000 Personnel Shares and a maximum of 50,000 additional new Personnel Shares in possible oversubscription situations. The Personnel Shares are offered in deviation from the shareholders` pre-emptive subscription right in order to bind the personnel to the Company. The payments made to the Company for the approved Personnel Share subscriptions will be booked in their entirety in the invested unrestricted equity fund. Thus, the Company`s share capital will not increase in connection with the Personnel Offering.

As a result of the Personnel Offering, the number of the Shares can increase preliminarily to a maximum of 15,100,000 Shares and as a result of issuing the additional new Personnel Shares to cover the possible oversubscription situations to a maximum of 15,150,000 Shares. The Personnel Shares represent approximately 0.7 per cent of the Shares and votes before the Personnel Offering and approximately 0.7 per cent after the Personnel Offering, assuming that all Personnel Shares preliminarily offered in the Personnel Offering are fully subscribed for and no additional new Personnel Shares are subscribed for. If all preliminarily offered and additional Personnel Shares in the Personnel Offering are fully subscribed for, the Personnel Shares represent in total approximately 1.0 per cent of the Shares and votes after the Personnel Offering.

Over-Allotment Option

The Seller will grant the Managers an over-allotment option exercisable within 30 days from the commencement of trading of the Shares on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd (the "Helsinki Stock Exchange"), i.e. during the period expected to be from 30 March 2015 to 28 April 2015, to purchase or to procure purchasers for up to 1,725,000 additional Shares solely to cover over-allotments in the Share Sale, if any (the "Over-Allotment Option"). The shares in the Over-Allotment Option represent approximately 11.5 per cent of the Shares and votes before the Personnel Offering and approximately 11.4 per cent after the Personnel Offering, assuming that all preliminarily offered Personnel Shares are fully subscribed for and additional new Personnel Shares are not subscribed for in the Personnel Offering.

Stabilisation

After the Share Sale, Danske Bank may, within 30 days from the commencement of the trading of the Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange, during the period expected to be from 30 March to 28 April 2015, engage in measures which stabilise, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Shares. Danske Bank may allocate a larger number of Shares than the total number of Sale Shares, which creates a short position. The short position is covered if the short selling does not exceed the number of Shares which Danske Bank can acquire through the Over-Allotment Option. Danske Bank may close covered short selling with the Over-Allotment Option or by purchasing Shares in the market. In determining the acquisition method of the Shares to cover short selling, Danske Bank considers, among other things, the market price of the Shares compared to the Over-Allotment Option price. After the Share Sale, Danske Bank may also bid for and purchase Shares in the market to stabilise the share price. These measures may raise or maintain the market price of the Shares in comparison with the price levels determined independently on the market or may prevent or delay any decrease in the market price of the Shares. However, stabilisation measures shall not be executed at a higher price than the final sale price of the Sale Shares (the "Sale Price"). Danske Bank has no obligation to carry out these measures, and Danske Bank may stop any of these measures at any time.

Any stabilisation measures will be conducted in accordance with the European Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003 implementing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards exemptions for buy-back programmes and stabilisation of financial instruments.

Danske Bank will enter into a share lending agreement with the Seller related to the Over-Allotment Option and stabilisation. According to the share lending agreement, Danske Bank may borrow a number of Shares equal to the Over-Allotment Option to cover any possible over-allotments in connection with the Share Sale. To the extent that Danske Bank borrows Shares in accordance with the share lending agreement, it must return an equal number of Shares to the Seller.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company, the Seller and the Managers are expected to enter into an underwriting agreement on or about 27 March 2015 (the "Underwriting Agreement"). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Seller will agree to sell to purchasers procured by the Managers, or failing which, to the Managers themselves, and each of the Managers, severally but not jointly, will agree, subject to certain terms and conditions, to procure purchasers for, or failing such procurement, to purchase from the Seller the percentage of the total number of Offer Shares opposite such Managers` name in the table under "Plan of Distribution".

Procedure for Changing the Preliminary Price Range

If the Preliminary Price Range is changed during the offer period, such change shall be published through a stock exchange release. If the Preliminary Price Range increases or decreases, the Finnish Prospectus will be supplemented and the supplement shall be published through a stock exchange release.

If a Commitment in the Public Share Sale is not cancelled, the possible over paid amount will be refunded to the investor to the bank account identified in the Commitment. See also "Terms and Conditions of the Public Share Sale - Refunding of a Paid Amount".

Cancellation in Accordance with the Securities Markets Act

If the Offering Circular and Finnish Prospectus are supplemented or amended due to a material error or omission or due to material new information after the Financial Supervisory Authority has approved the Finnish Prospectus but before the commencement of trading of the Personnel Shares in the Helsinki Stock Exchange, investors who have submitted a Commitment before the Finnish Prospectus was supplemented or corrected have, in accordance with the Securities Markets Act, the right to cancel their Commitments within at least two (2) banking days after the supplement or correction has been published. The use of the cancellation right requires that the error, omission or material new information that led to the supplement or correction has come out prior to the delivery of the Offer Shares to the investors. Any possible cancellation of the Commitment must concern fully the aggregate number of Shares of all Commitments of the investor in question. If the Finnish Prospectus is supplemented, such an event shall be published through a stock exchange release. Such stock exchange release shall also contain information on the investors` right to cancel their Commitments.

Procedure to Cancel the Commitment

The cancellation of a Commitment must be notified in writing to the subscription place where the initial Commitment was made and within the time limit set for such cancellation. However, a Commitment made by telephone to Danske Bank Investor line or OP 0100 0500 Telephone service may be cancelled by telephone. Cancelling or changing a Commitment in the Public Share Sale cannot be made online via Danske Bank`s electronic bank or E-Subscription or OP Financial Group`s Internet service, but must be made in other Danske Bank`s or OP Financial Group`s subscription place. The possible cancellation of a Commitment concerns the entire Commitment. After the period entitling to the cancellation right has lapsed, the cancellation right no longer exists. If the Commitment is cancelled, the subscription place returns the sum paid for the Offer Shares to the bank account notified in the Commitment. The money is returned as soon as possible after the cancellation, approximately within five (5) banking days of serving the subscription place with the cancellation notice. If an investor`s bank account is in a different bank than the subscription place, the refund will be paid to a Finnish bank account in accordance with the payment schedule of the financial institutions, approximately no later than two (2) banking days thereafter. No interest will be paid on such repaid funds.

Title and Shareholder Rights

The title to the Offer Shares is transferred when the Offer Shares are paid for and recorded in the investor`s book-entry account. The right to dividend and to other distribution of funds as well as other shareholder rights in the Company belong to the investor after the title has been transferred to him or her.

Transfer Tax and Other Expenses

The Seller shall pay the transfer tax that may be levied when the Sale Shares are transferred in connection with the Share Sale.

Right to Cancel the Share Sale and Personnel Offering

The Seller is entitled to cancel the Public Share Sale and the Institutional Share Sale and the Board of Directors is entitled to cancel the Personnel Offering at any time prior to resolving on their execution in connection with the Pricing due to, among other reasons, a material change in the market conditions, the Company`s financial position or the Company`s business. If the Seller or the Board of Directors decides to cancel the Share Sale and/or Personnel Offering, the paid sale and subscription prices will be refunded to investors approximately five (5) banking days after such decision. If the investor`s bank account is in another financial institution than the subscription place, the refund will be paid to a Finnish bank account in accordance with the payment schedule of the financial institutions, approximately no more than two (2) banking days later. No interest will be paid on such repaid funds.

The lock-up provisions will not apply to certain situations, such as in connection with the Company`s employee incentive plans and in connection with the Company carrying out acquisitions by using its Shares and, with regard to the Seller, in connection with a takeover offer targeted at the Company or an offer by the Company to all its shareholders to purchase Shares.

A precondition for participation in the Personnel Offering is undertaking to a lock-up. Pursuant to the lock-up the participants of the Personnel Offering may not without a written consent given in advance by the Managers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) during the period of time that will commence on 30 March 2015 and end, for the Executive Team, on the date that falls 360 days, and for other personnel in Finland on the date that falls 180 days from the Listing, sell, short sell, pledge or otherwise directly or indirectly assign the Shares, or options or warrants, which give the right to buy the Shares or other instruments, which may be converted to or exchanged for the Shares, which they own or have acquired in the Personnel Offering, or of which they have power to assign. The participants of the Personnel Offering shall agree that a transfer restriction, as described herein, shall be recorded to their book-entry accounts.
