Espoo, Finland - The offer period in Nokia's public buy-out offer for Alcatel-

exchangeable for existing Shares due on January 30, 2019 (the "2019 OCEANEs"),
and bonds convertible into new or exchangeable for existing Shares due on
January 30, 2020 (the "2020 OCEANEs", and together with the 2019 OCEANEs, the

with the AMF general regulation. In the Squeeze-Out, the Shares and OCEANEs not
tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer will be transferred to Nokia for the same
consideration as the consideration of the Public Buy-Out Offer, i.e., EUR 3.50
per Alcatel-Lucent Share, EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANE,
net of all costs.
