The Board of Directors of SSH has started preparations for the potential return of the company's tied equity to its shareholders
Due the companys withdraw from the VPN-hardware business, the sale of its OEM business, and sopping its Certifier business, the Board of Directors has decided to start preparations for the potential reduction of the tied equity and the distribution of part of its assets to shareholders. The reduction of the tied equity would mean a distribution of assets to shareholders and resulting partial decrease of the share premium fund, which would depend on permission from the Registration Authority, as required by the Companies Act 6:5 §. In the end of the year 2004 companys liquid assets accounted for EUR 33,9 million. The Board of Directors has not yet resolved on the volume of the potential return of equity, other related conditions or the schedule. More detailed information concerning the preparation will be informed when the preparation is ready. Helsinki, 9th February 2005 SSH COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY CORP Arto Vainio CEO
