Decisions adopted by CapMan Plc's Annual General Meeting



CapMan Stock Exchange Release 7 April 2009 12.55 p.m.

CapMan Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held today in Helsinki.
The meeting confirmed the 2008 financial statements and granted
discharge from liability to the Board of Directors and the CEO for
the 2008 financial year. The AGM decided that no dividend for the
fiscal year 2008 shall be paid. The AGM approved the proposals of the
Board of Directors to the AGM as they were.

The members of the Board of Directors and the organisation of the
Board

The AGM decided that the Board consists of six members. Sari Baldauf,
Tapio Hintikka, Lennart Jacobsson, Conny Karlsson, Teuvo Salminen and
Ari Tolppanen will continue as Board members. Immediately after the
AGM, the organisation meeting of the Board was held and Ari Tolppanen
was elected as Chairman of the Board and Teuvo Salminen as Vice
Chairman of the Board. In the same meeting the Board evaluated the
independence of the Board members from CapMan Plc and its largest
shareholders. The Board concluded that Sari Baldauf, Tapio Hintikka,
Conny Karlsson and Teuvo Salminen are independent of the company.

The compensation of the Board members
The members of the Board will be paid the following monthly
compensations: EUR 4,000 to the Chairman and Vice Chairman and EUR
3,500 to members. Compensation will not be paid for those Board
members that are employed by CapMan Group. Reasonable travel expenses
will be compensated for all Board members.
Auditors

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, corporation of authorized public
accountants, with Jan Holmberg, APA (Auditor Approved by the Central
Chamber of Commerce) as the Lead Auditor, continues as the Company's
Auditors. Terja Artimo, APA, will continue as Jan Holmberg's deputy.
The annual general meeting decided that the auditor is paid a fee and
compensation for travel expenses according to the reasonable
auditor's invoice.

Authorization for the Board to resolve to repurchase Company's shares
or accept them as pledge

The AGM authorised the Board to purchase the Company's own B shares
and accept them as pledge. The authorization amounts to the maximum
of 8,000,000 B shares in the Company, provided however, that the
treasury shares in the possession of, or held as pledges by, the
Company and its subsidiaries shall not exceed one tenth of all
shares.

The shares may be repurchased in order to finance or carry out
acquisitions or other business transactions, in order to develop the
Company's capital structure, to improve the liquidity of the
Company's shares, to be disposed for other purposes, or to be
cancelled. The shares may be accepted as pledge in order to finance
or carry out acquisitions or other business transactions.

The repurchase of shares would be carried out by using the Company's
unrestricted shareholders equity, whereby the purchases would reduce
funds available for the distribution of profits.

The repurchases would be carried out through public trading on the
Nasdaq OMX Helsinki, whereby the shares would be purchased in another
proportion than according to the holdings of the shareholders and in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki
and the Euroclear Finland Ltd. The repurchase price must be based on
the market price of the Company's shares in public trading.

The authorization is in force until 30 June 2010.

Authorization for the Board to resolve to issue shares, stock options
and other entitlements to Company's Shares

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to resolve to issue either
newly issued shares or reissue existing B shares in the Company, as
well as to issue stock options and other entitlements to B shares
referred to in the Finnish Companies Act chapter 10, paragraph 1. The
authorization is to be used to finance and to carry out acquisitions
or other business transactions and the Company's investments, or
employee incentive plans.

The authorization amounts to the maximum of 20,000,000 B shares in
the Company and includes the right to deviate from the shareholders'
pre-emptive right to the Company's shares, provided that weighty
financial reason exists pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act. The
authorization includes the right to resolve to issue shares without
payment under the condition that particularly weighty financial
reason exists pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act. The Board may
also resolve to issue shares to the Company itself without payment.
Pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act the Board of Directors may not,
however, make a decision to issue shares to the Company itself so
that the treasury shares in the possession of, or held as pledges by,
the Company and its subsidiaries would exceed one tenth of all
shares.

The authorization includes the right for the Board to determine the
terms and conditions of the issue and re-issue of shares, share
option rights and other entitlements referred to in the Finnish
Companies Act, chapter 10, paragraph 1, as well as to determine other
matters pertaining to these actions in accordance with the Finnish
Companies Act, including the right to resolve whether the
subscription price be entered wholly or partly to the fund for
invested unrestricted equity or as increase in the share capital.

The authorization is in force until 30 June 2010.
