In addition, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting

17.	Proposal by the Board of Directors concerning the issue of stock options

The Board of Directors proposes that stock options be issued by the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders to the key personnel of the Comptel Group. The
main terms of the proposal are as follows: 

The company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options,
since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and
commitment program for the key personnel. The purpose of the stock options is
to encourage the key personnel to work on a long-term basis to increase
shareholder value. The purpose of the stock options is also to commit the key
personnel to the company. 

The maximum total number of stock options issued will be 4,200,000 and they
will be issued gratuitously. The stock options entitle their owners to
subscribe for a maximum total of 4,200,000 new shares in the Company or
existing shares held by the Company.  The stock options now issued can be
exchanged for shares constituting a maximum total of 3.8% of the company's
shares and votes of the shares, after the potential share subscription, if new
shares are issued in the share subscription. 

The share subscription price will be based on the prevailing market price of
the Comptel Corporation share on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. in April 2009,
April 2010 and April 2011. The share subscription price will be entered into
the invested non-restricted equity fund. 

The share subscription period for stock options 2009A, will be 1 November
2011—30 November 2013, for stock options 2009B, 1 November 2012—30 November
2014 and for stock options 2009C, 1 November 2013—30 November 2015. 

The Board of Directors will decide on the distribution of stock options during
the second quarters of 2009, 2010 and 2011. The members of the Group Executive
Board and other key employees belonging to the target group of the Performance
Share Plan 2009—2011 will not be included in the Stock Option Plan 2009.
