EVOX RIFA GROUP OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE       25 April 2007                  


REDEMPTION OF SHARES IN EVOX RIFA GROUP OYJ UNDER CHAPTER 18, SECTION 1 OF THE  
FINNISH COMPANIES ACT AND NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR                                 

Evox Rifa Group Oyj (“Evox Rifa”) has been informed that the settlement of the  
completion trades relating to the public tender offer by KEMET Electronics      
Corporation (“KEMET”), a wholly owned subsidiary of KEMET Corporation, for all  
shares and convertible capital loan notes in Evox Rifa has been completed on 24 
April 2007. Following the settlement of the completion trades, KEMET's holding  
in Evox Rifa amounts to 92.7 per cent of all the shares and votes in Evox Rifa. 
Evox Rifa has consequently become a subsidiary of KEMET Electronics Corporation.

As KEMET holds more than nine tenths (9/10) of all the shares and votes in Evox 
Rifa, KEMET has the right, based on Chapter 18, Section 1 of the Companies Act, 
to redeem the shares held by other remaining shareholders in Evox Rifa          
(“Shares”) at fair value. KEMET has on 24 April 2007 notified Evox Rifa of its  
decision to exercise its redemption right and presented its redemption claim for
the remaining Shares in Evox Rifa pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act. The    
content of KEMET's redemption claim is substantially as follows:                

1. Redemption Price of the Shares                                               

The redemption price for the Shares (“Redemption Price”) is EUR 0.12 per Share  
which is the same price as the consideration paid by KEMET in the voluntary     
public tender offer. By virtue of the tender offer, KEMET has gained ownership  
to 92.7 per cent of all the shares and votes in Evox Rifa. Accordingly, the     
Redemption Price of EUR 0.12 per Share should be considered as the fair value of
the Shares in accordance with the Companies Act.                                

2. Transfer Tax and Payments                                                    

Possible transfer tax collected in Finland deriving from the redemption of the  
Shares as well as the payments and charges arising from the book-entry          
registrations carried out as a consequence of the redemption will be borne by   
KEMET.                                                                          

Background to KEMET's redemption notification and claim and the consideration   
offered in the tender offer can be found in the Tender Offer Document dated 9   
March 2007, which is available at the offices of Nordea Bank.                   

KEMET has informed Evox Rifa that to implement the redemption of the remaining  
Shares in Evox Rifa as referred to in the redemption notification and claim,    
KEMET will initiate arbitration proceedings as provided in the Companies Act.
