(BlackRock, Inc.) 
 
   Sampo plc (business code 0142213-3) has received a disclosure under 
Chapter 9, Section 5 of the Securities Markets Act, according to which 
the number of Sampo A shares (ISIN: FI009003305) owned directly or

decreased on 20 April 2021 below five (5) per cent of Sampo plc's total 
stock. 
 
   In addition, the disclosure obligation arose due to the number of total

decreasing below 5 per cent of Sampo plc's total voting rights.
