and all except Ilkka Herlin and Peter Immonen to be independent of major
shareholders. Tapio Hakakari was the interim President and CEO as of 8 October
2012 until 28 February 2013, but because the position was temporary, the Board
considers him to be independent of the company after the position has ended.

Cargotec shares they have obtained in remuneration under their ownership for at
least two years from the day they obtained them. The shares will be purchased at
market price on a quarterly basis.

that the membership of Ilkka Herlin, as a significant shareholder, in the
committee is warranted.
