Proposal for the composition of the Board of Directors

The Nomination Board of Valmet proposes to the next Annual General Meeting,

    members.

Board.

Erkki  Pehu-Lehtonen, Member of  the Board of  Directors of Valmet, has informed
Valmet's  Nomination Board that he will not  be available in the election of the
Board of Directors in the next Annual General Meeting. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen (born

an  invited  expert  in  Board  meetings  within  the limitations imposed by the
Finnish law. The new Board of Directors will invite the personnel representative
as  its  external  expert  in  its  organizing  meeting after the Annual General
Meeting.

"I  am very pleased  with the diversity  of the knowhow  and experience that the
nominees for the Board of Directors possess. These requirements, forming part of
the  principles  on  diversity  agreed  for  Valmet, were high on the Nomination
Board's   agenda   in  the  procedure  preparing  the  proposal  for  the  Board
composition", says Kari Järvinen, the Chairman of the Nomination Board.

based  on the Annual General Meeting's decision,  to use 40 percent of the fixed
annual  remuneration for  purchasing Valmet  shares from  the market  at a price
formed in trading at Nasdaq Helsinki's stock exchange list and that the purchase
will  be carried out within two weeks from the publication of the Interim Review
for the period January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016.
