Nokia reopens public exchange offer for outstanding Alcatel-Lucent securities

Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today that it has reopened its public exchange
offer in France and in the United States (the "Offer") for the outstanding
Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") and OCEANE
convertible bonds not tendered during the initial public exchange offer period.

Rajeev Suri, President and CEO of Nokia, said: "We are delighted with the
response so far of the great majority of Alcatel-Lucent investors, who have
clearly recognised the value proposition of this combination. With the deal
closed and the integration of the two companies moving forward from today, we
firmly believe that it is in the best interests of any remaining Alcatel-Lucent
securities holders to tender their shares, OCEANE convertible bonds or ADSs into
the reopened Offer. This ensures they would benefit from our planned capital
returns program for Nokia shareholders, as well as from the planned long-term
value created through the combination."

In accordance with Article 232-4 of the AMF General Regulation, the offers in
France and in the U.S. will be reopened from January 14, 2016 to February
3, 2016 and will provide an opportunity for holders of Alcatel-Lucent ordinary
shares, ADSs and OCEANE convertible bonds who did not tender into the initial
Offer, or missed the tender deadline, to participate in the reopened Offer and
exchange their securities for shares or ADSs in Nokia.

This follows the settlement of the initial Offer period, after which Nokia holds
76.31% of the share capital and at least 76.01% of the voting rights of Alcatel-
Lucent, 89.14% of the 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds outstanding, 24.34% of the
2019 OCEANE convertible bonds outstanding, and 15.11% of the 2020 OCEANE
convertible bonds outstanding. Assuming conversion of the OCEANEs tendered into
the Offer at the improved conversion ratio, Nokia would hold 79.32% of the share
capital and at least 78.97% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, as mentioned
in the AMF's notice published on January 5, 2016.

The reopened Offer will close on February 3, 2016. The deadline for tendering
Alcatel-Lucent shares and OCEANE convertible bonds into the reopened Offer is
5:30 PM Paris time (11:30 AM New York City time) on February 3, 2016. The
deadline for tendering Alcatel-Lucent ADSs into the U.S. offer is 5:00 PM New
York City time on February 2, 2016. The AMF will publish the results of the
reopened Offer on February 10, 2016.

The reopened Offer will be conducted on the same terms as the initial Offer, but
the Alcatel-Lucent securities validly tendered during the reopened Offer will
not be permitted to be withdrawn and will be accepted without any minimum tender
condition.

Any Alcatel-Lucent shares, Alcatel-Lucent ADSs or OCEANE convertible bonds not
tendered into the reopened Offer will remain outstanding. After completion of
the reopened Offer, Nokia intends to delist Alcatel-Lucent's ADSs from the New
York Stock Exchange and, subject to applicable law, deregister Alcatel-Lucent's
ADSs under U.S. securities laws, meaning Alcatel-Lucent's ADSs would not be
tradable on any regulated securities exchange and much less information would be
available about the company following delisting and deregistration.

As previously announced and subject to Nokia shareholder approval, Nokia plans
to execute a EUR 7 billion program to optimize its capital structure and return
excess capital to Nokia shareholders. This program is planned to include
approximately EUR 4 billion in distributions to Nokia shareholders. Nokia has no
plans to provide capital returns to remaining holders of Alcatel-Lucent
securities.

If Nokia reaches 95% ownership of the share capital and voting rights of
Alcatel-Lucent, it intends to squeeze out the remaining shares. In addition, if
Nokia reaches 95% ownership of Alcatel-Lucent's fully diluted shares, it intends
to squeeze-out the remaining OCEANE convertible bonds. Such squeeze-out must be
implemented within 3 months of the closing of the reopened Offer and will be
subject to a clearance decision of the AMF.

In addition, Nokia reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to cause
Alcatel-Lucent to redeem at par value, plus, as applicable, accrued interest
from the date the interest was last paid, to the date set for the early
redemption all of the outstanding OCEANEs 2018, OCEANEs 2019 or OCEANEs 2020, if
less than 15% of the issued OCEANEs of any such series remain outstanding.
