ANNEX: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE ISSUE The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD (the "Company") has in its meeting of 3 June 2009 resolved by virtue of the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 16 April 2009 that the Company shall issue of a maximum of 9,350,000 class B shares by a directed share issue. The shares will be issued on the following terms and conditions: 1. SHARE SUBSCRIPTION A maximum of 9,350,000 new class B shares (the "Shares", each a"Share") shall be issued. The Shares will be offered to be subscribed for by qualified investors referred to in the prospectus directive (2003/71/EC) in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders set forth in Chapter 9, Section 3 of the Finnish Companies Act. 2. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND ITS ENTRY INTO BALANCE SHEET The subscription price for the Shares is EUR 2.25 per Share. The subscription price for the Shares is based on the price determined in the book-building procedure, which is considered the fair value of the Shares. The Subscription Price shall be recorded in its entirety to the unrestricted invested equity fund of the Company. 3. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND PLACE OF SUBSCRIPTION The subscription period commences on 3 June 2009 and ends on 4 June 2009. The subscription shall be effected by paying the entire Subscription Price of the Shares to the bank account as designated by the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has a right to extend the subscription period. 4. TERMS OF PAYMENT The Subscription Price shall be paid upon subscription during the above-mentioned subscription period. 5. RIGHT TO DIVIDEND AND OTHER RIGHTS The Shares entitle to dividend and other rights in the Company as from the registration of the Shares. The Shares will be issued in the Finnish book-entry system. 6. REASONS FOR DEVIATING FROM THE PRE-EMPTIVE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS The pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders are deviated from since the purpose of the share issue is to strengthen the Company's capital structure. There are thus weighty financial reasons from the Company's perspective for deviating from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders as referred to in Chapter 9 Section 4 of the Finnish Companies Act. 7. OTHER ISSUES The Board of Directors of the Company will decide on other matters related to the share issue and practical arrangements resulting therefrom. |
