Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the company's

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide
on repurchase of company's own shares in accordance with the proposal of the
Board of Directors. By virtue of the authorization, the Board of Directors is
entitled to decide on repurchasing a maximum of 1,420,000 company's own shares.
The company's own shares shall be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to
the holdings of the shareholders by using the non-restricted equity through
trading on regulated market organized by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price
prevailing at the time of acquisition. The shares shall be repurchased and paid
for in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd and Euroclear Finland
Ltd. The shares shall be repurchased for use as consideration in possible
acquisitions or other arrangements related to the company's business, as
financing for investments or as part of the company's incentive program or to be
held by the company, to be conveyed by other means or to be cancelled. The Board
of Directors shall decide on other terms and conditions related to the
repurchase of the company's own shares. The Repurchase Authorization shall be
valid until 30 June 2017 and shall revoke the previous authorizations for
repurchasing the company's own shares.

Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on share issue as well as on the
issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares

The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to decide
on issuing new shares and/or conveying the company's own shares held by the
company and/or granting special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter
10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act in accordance with the proposal of
the Board of Directors.

New shares may be issued and the company's own shares may be conveyed to the
company's shareholders in proportion to their current shareholdings in the
company or by waiving the shareholder's pre-emption right, through a directed
share issue if the company has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as
using the shares as consideration in possible acquisitions or other arrangements
related to the company's business, as financing for investments or as part of
the company's incentive program. The new shares may also be issued in a free
share issue to the company itself.

New shares may be issued and the company's own shares held by the company may be
conveyed either against payment or for free. A directed share issue may be free
only if there is an especially weighty financial reason both for the company and
with regard to the interests of all shareholders in the company.

Based on the authorization, the Board of Directors may decide to issue a maximum
of 2,840,000 new shares and convey a maximum of 1,487,464 of the company's own
shares held by the company. The number of shares to be issued to the company
itself together with the shares repurchased by the company on basis of the
repurchase authorization shall be at the maximum of 1,420,000 shares.

The Board of Directors may grant special rights referred to in Chapter 10,
Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, which carry the right to receive,
against payment, new shares of the company or the company's own shares held by
the company. The right may also be granted to the company's creditor in such a
manner that the right is granted on a condition that the creditor's receivable
is used to set off the subscription price (convertible bond). The maximum number
of new shares that may be subscribed by virtue of the special rights granted by
the company is in total 1,000,000 shares which number shall be included in the
maximum number of new shares stated above.

The subscription price of the new shares and the consideration payable for the
company's own shares shall be recorded under the invested non-restricted equity
fund. The Board of Directors shall decide on all other terms and conditions
related to the authorizations. The authorizations shall be valid until 30 June
2017 and shall revoke the previous authorizations for share issues and granting
of stock options and other special rights entitling to shares.

Establishing a permanent Shareholders' Nomination Board

The Annual General meeting decided to establish a permanent Shareholders'
Nomination Board in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors. The
Nomination Board shall be responsible for preparing and presenting proposals
covering the remuneration and number of members of the company's Board of
Directors as well as proposal on the members of the Board of Directors to Annual
General Meeting and, where needed, to an Extraordinary General Meeting. The
Nomination Board shall also be responsible for identifying successors for
existing Board members.

The Nomination Board shall consist of four (4) members, three of which shall be
appointed by the company's three largest shareholders, who shall appoint one
member each. The chairman of the company's Board of Directors shall serve as the
fourth member.

The company's largest shareholders entitled to appoint members to the Nomination
Board shall be determined annually on the basis of the registered holdings in
the company's shareholders' register held by Euroclear Finland Ltd as of the
first weekday in September in the year concerned. As regards individual persons
as shareholders, their direct ownership and ownership of corporations over which
he/she exercises control as well as ownership of his/her spouse and children,
will be taken into account in the determination. If a shareholder who has
distributed his/her holdings e.g. into several funds and has an obligation under
the Finnish Securities Markets Act to take these holdings into account when
disclosing changes in share of ownership makes a written request to such effect
to the chairman of the Board of Directors no later than on the weekday prior to
the first weekday in September such shareholder's holdings in several funds or
registers will be combined when calculating the shares which determine the
nomination right.

The chairman of the company's Board of Directors shall request each of the three
largest shareholders established on this basis to appoint one member to the
Nomination Board. In the event that a shareholder does not wish to exercise
his/her or its right to appoint a member, it shall pass to the next-largest
shareholder that would not otherwise be entitled to appoint a member. In case
two shareholders have an equal number of shares and votes and the
representatives of both such shareholders cannot be appointed to the Nomination
Board, the decision between them shall be made by drawing lots.

The chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the
Nomination Board, which will be responsible for electing a chairman from among
its members; the Nomination Board's chairman shall be responsible for convening
subsequent meetings. When the Nomination Board has been elected, the Company
will issue a release to this effect.

The Nomination Board shall serve until further notice, unless the General
Meeting decides otherwise. Its members shall be elected annually and their term
of office shall end when new members are elected to replace them.

The Nomination Board shall submit its proposals to the company's Board of
Directors annually in time for them to be included in the notice of the meeting
and in any case, at the latest, by 10th of February preceding the Annual General
Meeting. Proposals intended for a possible Extraordinary General Meeting shall
be submitted to the company's Board of Directors in time for them to be included
in the notice of the meeting.

The Annual General meeting further decided to adopt the Charter of the
Shareholders' Nomination Board.
