Sanoma Oyj - Decisions of general meeting

Resolutions of Sanoma's Annual General Meeting 2011

Stock Exchange Release 5/4/2011  16:15

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, Sanoma Corporation's
Annual General Meeting approved today the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.10 per
share and authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of the Company's own
shares. The AGM also approved other proposals to the AGM as they were.

Board members Jane Erkko and Rafaela Seppälä were re-elected and Nancy McKinstry
and Kai Öistämö were elected as new members to the Board. Jaakko Rauramo
continues as Chairman of the Board and Sakari Tamminen as Vice Chairman.

The AGM adopted the financial statements for 2010 and discharged the members of
the Board of Directors as well as President and CEO from liability for the
financial year 2010.

Use of the profit and dividend payment

The AGM resolved that a dividend of EUR 1.10 per share shall be paid and a sum
of EUR 550,000 shall be transferred to the donation reserve and used at the
Board of Directors' discretion. The record date for distribution of dividends is
8 April 2011 and in Finland, the dividends will be paid on 15 April 2011.
Outside Finland, the actual dividend payment date will be determined by the
practices of the intermediary banks transferring the payments.

Authorisation to decide on the repurchase of the Company's shares

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of maximum of
16,000,000 Company's own shares. The authorisation is effective until 30 June
2012 and terminates the corresponding authorisation granted by the AGM on 8
April 2010.

These shares will be purchased with the Company's unrestricted shareholders'
equity, and the repurchases will reduce funds available for distribution on
profits. The shares will be repurchased to develop the Company's capital
structure, carry out or finance potential corporate acquisitions or other
business arrangements, or to be transferred for other purposes, retained as
treasury shares, or cancelled.

The shares can be repurchased either through a tender offer made to all
shareholders on equal terms or in other proportion than that of the current
shareholders at the market price of the repurchase moment on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd.
