AFFECTO PLC        STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE        5 SEPTEMBER 2008 at 09:10
AFFECTO HAS AGREED TO SELL CONTEMPUS AS TO BASWARE

Affecto  Plc has agreed to sell Contempus AS to Basware. Contempus is part  of
Affecto's  operations in Norway and provides software solutions for Enterprise
Purchase  to  Payment  and  Enterprise  Content  Management  solution   areas.
Contempus  has  developed  its own Contempus software  product  range  and  in
addition  to  the software sales it also implements solutions  based  on  that
software.

Contempus was part of Component Software Group ASA, which Affecto acquired  in
2007. In 2007, Contempus generated revenue of 69.3 MNOK (approx. 8.7 MEUR) and
EBITA of 6.8 MNOK (approx. 0.85 MEUR) 2007. As at 30 June 2008, Contempus  had
55 employees and a net cash position of approx. 17 MNOK (approx. 2.1 MEUR). In
Affecto's  reporting, Contempus has been reported in the Operational Solutions
and Norway&Denmark segments.

The transaction price, to be paid in cash on closing date, is 70 MNOK (approx.
8.8  MEUR)  plus an additional price of max. 15 MNOK (approx. 1.9  MEUR).  The
transaction   is  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Norwegian   competition
authorities.  The  transaction is expected to be closed  in  2008,  after  the
necessary clearances from authorities have been obtained.

"Affecto  is  an IT service company by nature, while Contempus  is  a  product
business based on proprietary software. Divesting Contempus helps us to better
focus  in  developing our main business, the Business Intelligence operations.
We  believe  that  Contempus  will have good future  with  Basware",  comments
Affecto's CEO Pekka Eloholma.
