Since the Company's shares are included in the book-entry system, the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act concerning the right to participate in General Meetings of Shareholders shall also be taken into account. The General Meetings of Shareholders shall be held in Espoo, Helsinki, or Vantaa." Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide the buyback of Company shares In accordance with a proposal by the Board of Directors, the AGM authorized the Board to decide the purchase of the Company's own shares ('Buyback authorization') under the following terms: Under this Buyback authorization, the Board shall be authorized to decide the purchase of and/or take as security a maximum of 2,000,000 Company shares using the Company's unrestricted equity. The number of shares shall be equivalent to approximately 0.78% of the Company's total shares. Shares may be purchased in one or more lots. The purchase price shall be at least the lowest price paid for Company shares in regulated trading at the time of purchase and no more than the highest price paid for Company shares in regulated trading at the time of purchase. In connection with the buyback of Company shares, derivative, share lending, or other agreements that are normal within the framework of capital markets may take place in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements and at a price determined by the market. The authorization shall allow the Board to decide to purchase shares otherwise than in proportion to shareholders' current holdings (directed buyback). Shares so purchased can be used as consideration in possible acquisitions or in other arrangements that are part of the Company's business, to finance investments, as part of the Company's incentive program, or be retained, conveyed, or cancelled by the Company. The Board of Directors shall decide the other terms related to the buyback of Company shares.

The treasury shares held by the Company can be distributed to the Company's shareholders in proportion to the shares they already own or via a directed share issue that bypasses shareholders' pre-emptive rights if the Company has a weighty financial reason for doing so, such as using the shares in question as consideration in possible acquisitions or in other arrangements that are part of the Company's business, to finance investments, or as part of the Company's incentive program. The treasury shares held by the Company can be conveyed against payment or distributed free of charge. A directed share issue can only be made free of charge if there is a particularly weighty financial reason, in respect of the Company's interests and those of all its shareholders, for doing so. The Board will also be responsible for the other terms and conditions of a share issue. The authorization shall remain in force until 30 June 2017. Availability of the minutes for review The minutes of the Annual General Meeting shall be available for review in two weeks from the Annual General Meeting at the company's headquarters.
