Details of the Cancellation
This cancellation aligns with Nokia's ongoing share buyback program, which commenced earlier in the year.

After the cancellation, the total outstanding shares of Nokia Corporation now stand at 5,605,850,345. Moreover, the company maintains 208,160,941 shares in treasury.
