Decisions by the Extraordinary Annual Cooperative Meeting

Pohjola Bank plc's parent company OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative held an
extraordinary annual cooperative meeting on 20 October 2010 in Helsinki. The
meeting decided, as proposed by the Executive Board, to change the Central
Cooperative's Finnish business name to OP-Pohjola osk and the Swedish business
name to OP-Pohjola anl. The auxiliary business name in English, used in
international business, will remain as OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative. The
new names will be valid once they have been entered in the Trade Register.

In addition to the name changes, the meeting made minor changes to the Central
Cooperative's articles of association concerning, among other things, the number
of Executive Board members.
