the earnings be retained in distributable equity. No dividend will be paid on
treasury shares. The right to a dividend rests with a shareholder who, by the

decided that the dividend will be paid on April 4, 2017.

- Vice Chairman and the Chairman of the Audit Committee: EUR 60,000, and

- members EUR 46,800

In addition, it was decided that the award and payment of the fixed annual fee
be contingent on the Board members committing to purchasing directly, based on
the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, YIT Corporation shares amounting
to 40% of the fixed annual fee from a regulated market (Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd) at
a price determined by public trading, and that the shares in question be
purchased directly on behalf of the Board members. The shares shall be purchased
within two weeks of the publication of the interim report for the period January
1–March 31, 2017.

It was also decided that the Board members be paid a meeting fee of EUR 550 per
meeting in addition to the fixed annual fee. In addition, the members of Board
Committees are paid an attendance fee of EUR 550 for each committee meeting. Per

auditor. The auditor’s fees will be paid against the invoices approved by the
company.

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the
purchase of company shares as proposed by the Board of Directors. The
