Sanoma Oyj - Decisions of general meeting

Resolutions of Sanoma's Annual General Meeting 2012

Stock Exchange Release 3/4/2012  15:45

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, Sanoma Corporation's
Annual General Meeting 2012 approved today the payment of a dividend of EUR
0.60 per share and authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of the
Company's own shares. The AGM also approved other proposals to the AGM as they
were.

Board members Annet Aris, Jaakko Rauramo and Sakari Tamminen were re-elected as
members to the Board. Jaakko Rauramo continues as Chairman of the Board and
Sakari Tamminen as Vice Chairman.

The AGM adopted the financial statements for 2011 and discharged the members of
the Board of Directors as well as President and CEO from liability for the
financial year 2011.

Use of the profit and dividend payment

The AGM resolved that a dividend of EUR 0.60 per share shall be paid and a sum
of EUR 550,000 shall be transferred to the donation reserve and used at the
Board of Directors' discretion. The record date for distribution of dividends is
10 April 2012 and in Finland, the dividends will be paid on 17 April 2012.
Outside Finland, the actual dividend payment date will be determined by the
practices of the intermediary banks transferring the payments.

Authorisation to decide on the repurchase of the Company's shares

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of maximum of
16,000,000 Company's own shares. The authorisation is effective until 30 June
2013 and terminates the corresponding authorisation granted by the AGM on 5
April 2011.

These shares will be purchased with the Company's unrestricted shareholders'
equity, and the repurchases will reduce funds available for distribution on
profits. The shares will be repurchased to develop the Company's capital
structure, carry out or finance potential corporate acquisitions or other
business arrangements, or to be transferred for other purposes, retained as
treasury shares, or cancelled.

The shares can be repurchased either through a tender offer made to all
shareholders on equal terms or in other proportion than that of the current
shareholders at the market price of the repurchase moment on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd.
