The General Meeting decided to establish a Shareholders' Nomination Board to

Shareholders' Nomination Board. The Nomination Board is established for an
indefinite period. 

The Nomination Board shall consist of three members nominated by the

expert. The right to nominate members shall be vested with the three
shareholders of the company having the largest share of the votes represented

shareholders' register held by Euroclear Finland Ltd. However, 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 his/her share of ownership makes a written
request to such effect to the Chairman of the Board of Directors no later than
on August 31, such shareholder's holdings in several funds or registers will be
combined when calculating the share of votes which determines the nomination
right. Should a shareholder not wish to exercise his/her nomination right, the
right shall be transferred to the next largest shareholder who otherwise would
not be entitled to nominate a member. 

The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall request the three largest
shareholders of the company, based on their shareholding on September 1 each
year, to nominate one member each to the Nomination Board. The Nomination Board
shall elect a Chairman from among its members. The term of office of the
members of the Nomination Board expires annually when the new Nomination Board
has been appointed.

repurchase and/or on the acceptance as pledge of the company's own shares as

the shares in the company. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be
used to repurchase own shares on the basis of the authorization. 

Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date
of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market. 

The Board of Directors decides how own shares will be repurchased and/or
accepted as pledge. Own shares can be repurchased using, inter alia,
