PAYING PANOSTAJA OYJ BOARD MEMBERS' FEES IN THE FORM OF SHARES HELD BY THE

transferring company shares to each Board member unless a Board member should
already own more than one per cent of the total share capital on the date of
the AGM. If a Board member's holding in the company on the date of the AGM
should exceed one per cent of the total share capital, the fee shall be paid
fully in cash. Panostaja Oyj's Board also decided at its organisational meeting
