Auto-translated from fi

Leasing of microelectronics research and pilot ecosystem facilities Technology Research Centre VTT Ltd ("VTT") is leasing operational and production facilities in the field of microelectronics in a building to be constructed in Otaniemi, Espoo (the "Kvanttinova project", the "project"). VTT intends to enter into a lease and project agreement with Skanska CDF Oy ("project implementer"), acting as the implementer in the project, for the realization of the operational and production facilities. This is a project whose development was initiated in autumn 2023, with the aim of creating a microelectronics research and pilot ecosystem with several actors. And for these actors, approximately 5000 m2 of cleanroom space, among other things. The ecosystem includes VTT and several private companies. The nature of the project from the perspective of procurement law has changed just before the conclusion of the lease and project agreement concerning the project. The project has strict schedule requirements. The Kvanttinova project is linked to significant EU Chips Act funding, which requires that the newly acquired semiconductor and microfabrication processing equipment be in use in the cleanroom from the end of 2028 onwards. Construction work for the Kvanttinova project is scheduled to begin in autumn 2026. The building permit was granted in early June 2026. The planned arrangement consists of several different measures and several types of agreements between different parties. The project implementer must arrange financing for the project and conclude the related contractual arrangements with the investor linked to the project. As part of the arrangement, the project implementer undertakes to purchase the real estate company (KOY Kvanttinova Puhdastilat Maarintie 5, "Real Estate Company"), which owns the property (property ID 49-10-19-9) on which the building is to be constructed. The project implementer is responsible for the construction of the building, managing the design of the facilities and the building), and handles the necessary contractual arrangements with the construction contractor and designers. The real estate company owned by the project implementer is responsible for leasing the constructed facilities to VTT, which in turn subleases the facilities to ecosystem members. The duration of VTT's lease agreement is intended to be 25 years. VTT's target for the total value of the capital rent under the lease agreement for the aforementioned period is EUR 337 million (VAT 0%).
