Referring to the Recommendation for corporate governance of listed
companies (Corporate Governance) the Board of Directors acknowledges
that Yara Nederland BV has acquired 30.05 % of the shares of the
Company from the State of Finland on 24th May 2007 and that in
addition to the aforementioned 30.05 % it has acquired approximately
67.4 % of the Company's shares through the mandatory tender offer
which ended on 27 September 2007. Yara International ASA has received
clearance from the European Commission on 21 September 2007 to
acquire the Company's shares and thus upon completion of the
mandatory public tender offer Yara Nederland BV owns approximately
97.45 % of shares and votes of the Company.

Yara Nederland BV has announced that it will initiate redemption
proceedings in accordance with the Chapter 18, Section 1 of the
Finnish Companies Act for the remainder of the shares. Upon
completion of the redemption proceedings Yara Nederland BV will own
100 % of the Company's shares.

Based on the aforementioned Yara Nederland BV considers that it is
justifiable to deviate from the following recommendations of the
Recommendation for corporate governance of listed companies

1. Number of the Members of the Board of Directors
According to the recommendation the Board of Directors shall consist
of at least five members. Yara Nederland BV considers, taking into
account its ownership in the Company and the fact that after the
forthcoming redemption proceedings have been completed it will own
100% of the Company's shares, appropriate that the Board of Directors
consists of three members only.

2. Independence of the Members of the Board of Directors
Upon completion of the mandatory public tender offer on 9 October
2007 the Company will be subsidiary of Yara Nederland BV and thus it
is appropriate that the Board of Directors consists of members of
Yara's top management.
