meeting held after the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, Gustav Nyberg was elected

meeting the Board also decided to re-appoint Roberto Lencioni Chairman of the

The authorized public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy will continue as

Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee

The shareholders approved that EUR 15,500 be paid per month to the chairman of
the Board of Directors, EUR 3,600 per month to the Vice-Chairman and EUR 2,400
per month to the other members of the Board of Directors. Board members having a
full-time position in an Aspo Group company are not paid a fee.

Authorization of the Board to decide on the acquisition of company-held shares

The shareholders authorized the Board to decide on the acquisition of no more
than 500,000 company-held shares using the unrestricted shareholders' equity of
the company. The shares shall be acquired through public trading, for which
reason the shares are acquired otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of
the shareholders and the consideration paid for the shares shall be the market
price of the Aspo's share at the time of repurchase. The authorization does not
exclude the Board's right to resolve on a directed repurchase.

The shares shall be acquired to be used for financing or execution of corporate
acquisitions or other transactions, for execution of the company's share-
ownership program or for other purposes determined by the Board.

The Board may not exercise the authorization to acquire company-held shares if
after the acquisition the company or its subsidiary would posses or have as a
pledge more than ten (10) per cent of the company's stock.

The authorization is valid until the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in 2012, but
no more than 18 months from the approval at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Authorization of the Board to decide on a share issue of the company-held shares

The shareholders authorized the Board to decide on a share issue, through one or
several installments, to be executed by conveying the company-held shares. An
aggregate maximum amount of 754,233 shares may be conveyed based on the
authorization. The authorization will be used for the financing or execution of
corporate acquisitions or other transactions, the execution of the company's
share-ownership program or for other purposes determined by the Board.

The authorization includes the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all
the terms and conditions of the conveyance and thus also includes the right to
convey shares otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders,
in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right on the conditions provided
by law.

The authorization is valid until the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in 2012, but
no more than 18 months from the approval at the Shareholders' Meeting.

Authorization of the Board to decide on a rights issue

The shareholders authorized the Board to decide on a rights issue for
consideration, whereby shareholders have the right to subscribe for new Aspo
shares in proportion to their previous shareholdings. The total number of new
shares to be offered for subscription may not exceed 5,500,000. The Annual
Shareholders' Meeting authorized the Board to specify other terms and conditions
governing such a rights issue.

The authorization is valid until the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in 2012 but
not more than 18 months from the approval at the Shareholders' Meeting. This
authorization does not invalidate the Board authorization to decide on a share
issue related to the transfer of the company-held shares.
