Bank Finasta to Become a Market Maker for Olainfarm
 
As of today, April 12, 2012, bank Finasta will become a liquidity provider for JSC Olainfarm shares that are listed on
NASDAQ OMX Baltic Main List. Olainfarm is the only listed company in Latvia for which shares the market making is provided.

Bank Finasta, in the capacity of market maker for Olainfarm, has committed itself to maintain a specified price on the buy and
sell side during trading hours. Finasta will maintain the demand and supply for Olainfarm shares at total value of LVL 2000
with a maximum spread between the demand and supply price of 4%.. Consequently, the company investors and shareholders will
be able to buy or sell shares at small quantities with less influence on the price.

“Supported by NASDAQ OMX and Finasta, we give extra assurance to our existing and potential investors. This is one more step
by Olainfarm towards high quality investor relations. Both our present shareholders and potential investors will benefit from
the liquidity provided to our listed shares,” believes Salvis Lapiņš, a JSC Olainfarm” Member of the Board.

Market making is a common practice to promote trading. Currently Orion Securities and now also Finasta are liquidity providers
 in the Baltic market.  Now four Baltic listed companies have market makers: Olainfarm, City Service, Grigiskes, Vilkyškiu
pienine and market making is provided also for the OMX Baltic Benchmark Fund units.

„Liquidity providing is not a common practice in the Baltic stock exchanges, and this is why we see here an opportunity to
promote this financial service. Bank Finasta is actively expanding the range of services it is providing, thereby trying to
find the most appropriate financial service for each individual client. Also, we are willing to make our contribution towards
the development of NASDAQ OMX Baltic securities market,” explains Andrej Cyba, a Finasta Member of the Board, Director of
Finance Markets division.

„The fact that after the economic downturn both listed companies and stock exchange members are starting to pay more attention
 to liquidity is an evidence of market stability and positive sentiment in general. We hope that other listed companies and
stock exchange members will follow the example demonstrated by Finasta and Olainfarm,” adds Daiga Auziņa-Melalksne, Head of
NASDAQ OMX Baltic Markets.

Already for several years Olainfarm has been working towards enhancing the investor relations quality. At present Olainfarm
is the only Latvian company traded on NASDAQ OMX Baltic market that is publishing the current monthly sales data, conducting
investor webinars on a regular basis, and now also is the only Latvian listed company to have a market maker.
