Important information

This release is for information purposes only and is not to be construed as an
offer to purchase or sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell with
respect to any securities of the Company. The distribution of this release and
the related material concerning the issuance of the Notes may, in certain
jurisdictions, be restricted by law. No actions have been taken to register or
qualify the Notes, or otherwise to permit a public offering of the Notes, in any
jurisdiction. Any offering material or documentation related to the Notes may be
received only in compliance with applicable exemptions or restrictions. Persons
into whose possession this release or any such offering material or
documentation may come are required to inform themselves of and observe all such
restrictions. This release and any such offering material or documentation may
not be distributed or published in any country or jurisdiction if to do so would
constitute a violation of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction or would
require actions under the laws of a state or jurisdiction other than Finland. In
particular, this release and any such offering material or documentation may not
be distributed in the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New
Zealand, Singapore or South Africa or any other jurisdiction in which it would
not be permissible to offer the Notes and this release and any related material
concerning the issuance of the Notes may not be sent to any person in the before
mentioned jurisdictions. The information contained herein shall not constitute
an offer to sell or tender, or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any of
the Company's securities, including the Notes, to any person in any jurisdiction
in which such offer, solicitation or sale or tender would be unlawful. None of
the Company nor the joint lead managers or their representatives accept any
legal responsibility for any violation by any person, whether or not the persons
contemplating investing in or divesting the Company's securities, including the
Notes, are aware of such restrictions.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities
Act, or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the
United States. The Notes may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise
transferred directly or indirectly within the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. Persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in
a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act.

The Company has not authorised the offering of the Notes to the public in any
member state of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) or in the United Kingdom
(each a “relevant state”). All offers of the Notes in that relevant state will
be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation 2017/1129 of the European
Parliament and of the Council (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”) (as the
Prospectus Regulation forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue
of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) from the requirement to produce a
prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation for offers of securities.
Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer of the Notes
within that relevant state should only do so in circumstances in which no
obligation arises for the Company or the joint lead managers to publish a
prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation for such offer. Neither the Company
nor the joint lead managers have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making
of any offer of securities through any financial intermediary. In relation to
each relevant state an offer to the public of any Notes may not be made in a
relevant state, except that an offer of the Notes to the public in a relevant
state may be made as part of the offering pursuant to the following exemptions
from the Prospectus Regulation: (i) an offer is addressed solely to qualified
investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, (ii) an offer is addressed to
fewer than 150 natural or legal persons per relevant state (other than qualified
investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) or (iii) in any other
circumstances falling within Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation, provided
that no such offer of Notes shall require the Company or the joint lead managers
to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation. For
the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in
relation to any of the Notes in any relevant state means the communication in
any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer
and any Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase
any Notes.
