In accordance with the applicable regulations, Orion Corporation discloses the following information:

The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has imposed a penalty payment of EUR 6,000 on Ari Lehtoranta, a member of the Board of Directors of Orion, because he failed to notify, by the deadline, the issuer (Orion Corporation) and the FIN-FSA of the acquisition of Orion’s shares made on his own account on 28 April 2023.
