the Annual General Meeting to keep the Board's remunerations and reimbursement
of travelling expenses as they have been. The annual remuneration of the

reimbursement for travelling expenses will not be paid.

11. Deciding on the number of the members of the Board of Directors

The shareholders that in total represent more than 55.3% of the votes conferred

The shareholders that in total represent than 55.3% of the votes conferred by
the Company's shares have announced to the Company that they will propose at the
Annual General Meeting that the following current members of the Board of
Directors be elected as members of the Board for the term of office that expires

shares on the regulated market on the stock list of Helsinki Stock Exchange. The
shares are purchased in trading organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in

the issue price or the price to be paid for the shares. The issue price of new
shares and the sum to be paid for the Company's shares held by the Company is
subscribed in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity.

With this authorisation, the Board can provide options and other special rights
referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Companies Act that entitle to
