Nokia completes the sale of its HERE business to a consortium of leading
automotive companies

Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today that it has completed the sale of its
HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading
automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG.

The transaction which was originally announced on August 3, 2015, valued HERE at
an enterprise value of EUR 2.8 billion, subject to certain purchase price
adjustments. Based on the current estimates of such adjustments, Nokia received
net proceeds from the transaction of approximately EUR 2.55 billion at closing,
which is consistent with Nokia's earlier estimated net proceeds of slightly
above EUR 2.5 billion. Final adjustments will be made based on the verified
closing balance sheet. As previously announced, Nokia expects to book a gain on
the sale and a related release of cumulative foreign exchange translation
differences totaling approximately EUR 1 billion as a result of the transaction.

The sale of HERE is the latest stage of Nokia's transformation ahead of its
planned combination with Alcatel-Lucent, which is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2016.
