RAISING THE SHARE CAPITAL                                                       
The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on       
issuing new shares in the form of an issue against payment and on surrendering  
company shares held by the company in one or more tranches. A maximum total of  
631,757 new shares may be issued, and a maximum of 65,000 shares held by the    
company may be surrendered. The subscription price for the new shares is a      
minimum of their nominal value, i.e. EUR 2.00. The surrender price for the      
company shares held by the company is a minimum of the current value at the time
of surrender determined on the basis of the price in public trading on the      
Helsinki Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors was authorized to diverge from  
the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right on condition that the company  
has a pressing financial reason to do so. The authorization also covers the     
right to offer shares not only against money payment but also against capital   
consideration in kind or on some other specified conditions or by using the     
right of set-off and to decide on the subscription price and other terms and    
conditions related to share issues.                                             

The authorization is valid until the next Annual General Meeting. The           
authorization repeals the previous share issue authorization given on March 29, 
2006 and the authorization given on the same date to surrender the company's own
shares.                                                                         

SALE OF SHARES IN THE JOINT BOOK-ENTRY ACCOUNT                                  
The Annual General Meeting decided on the sale through public trading of shares 
which have been entered in the joint book-entry account opened with the Finnish 
Central Securities Depository under chapter 3a, section 3a of the Companies Act 
(734/1978) and section 8 of the Implementing Act of the new Companies Act       
(624/2006) and for which registration of the ownership right in a book-entry    
account has not been demanded in spite of the fact that five years have passed  
from the date of the registration date. Shareholders must within one year from a
request based on the decision of the Annual General Meeting demand that their   
ownership right be registered or they will forfeit their right to the shares and
only keep the right to the funds obtained from the sale of the shares.
