A.  MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING               

The following items are on the agenda for the meeting:                          

1. Opening of the meeting                                                       

2. Calling the meeting to order                                                 

3. Election of persons to scrutinise the minutes and to count votes             

4. Recording the legality of the meeting                                        

5. Recording of attendance; adoption of the list of votes                       

6. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and on granting
special rights entitling to shares                                              

The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorise
the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue against payment as well as on 
issuing stock options and other special rights entitling to shares pursuant to  
chapter 10, section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act (624/2006) under   
the following terms and conditions:

-The number of shares to be issued under the authorisation may not exceed 
9,313,089 which is equivalent  to  100 per cent of  all  company  shares  at    
the  time  of  convening  the  Extraordinary General  Meeting.

-Within the limits of the authorisation, the authorisation entitles the Board
of Directors to decide on all terms and conditions of the share issue against 
payment as well as on those of the issue of special rights entitling to shares.

-The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on adding the subscription
price to the share capital or entering it, in whole or in part, into the
invested 
non-restricted equity fund.

-The share issue against payment and the issue of special rights entitling to 
shares may be directed in a way that deviates from the pre-emptive right of     
shareholders, if a weighty financial reason pursuant to the Limited Liability   
Companies Act exists. In such a case, the authorisation may be used to finance  
corporate acquisitions or other investments related to the company's operations 
as well as to maintain and improve the Group's solvency.

-The authorisation is proposed to be effective until the Annual General Meeting 
of 2011.

-The decision on the authorisation must be made by qualified majority; it must
be supported by at least two thirds of the votes cast and the shares
represented at the meeting. 

7. Closing of the meeting
