CHANGES IN SAMPO GROUP'S REPORTING STRUCTURE

SAMPO PLC          STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 25 April 2007 at 4.30p.m. 


CHANGES IN SAMPO GROUP'S REPORTING STRUCTURE                                    

In a transaction completed on 1 February 2007, Sampo plc sold the entire stock  
of Sampo Bank plc to Danske Bank A/S. The transaction causes changes in the     
Sampo Group's financial reporting structure and in certain income statement and 
balance sheet items.                                                            

Sampo Bank and its subsidiaries formerly constituted the 'Banking and Investment
Services' segment. This segment will be removed as of 1 January 2007. The Sampo 
Group reports the Sampo Bank Group result for January 2007 on one line in the   
Interim Report for January-March 2007 under 'Discontinued operations'.          

In the 'Other' segment the treatment of Primasoft Oy changes as a result of the 
Sampo Bank transaction. Sampo Group's holding in Primasoft Oy decreased to 20   
per cent of the shares and 30 per cent of the votes. As of 1 January 2007,      
Primasoft will be treated as an associate. The segment will be renamed          
'Holding'.                                                                      

The items related exclusively to banking and investment services will be removed
from the income statement and balance sheet. Additionally, certain changes will 
be made in the consolidated income statement, the most significant of which are 
presented in the following table.
