ANNEX: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE ISSUE

The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD (the "Company") has in its
meeting of 3 June 2009 resolved by virtue of the authorisation
granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 16 April 2009
that the Company shall issue of a maximum of 9,350,000 class B shares
by a directed share issue. The shares will be issued on the following
terms and conditions:

1. SHARE SUBSCRIPTION

A maximum of 9,350,000 new class B shares (the "Shares", each a"Share") shall be issued. The Shares will be offered to be subscribed
for by qualified investors referred to in the prospectus directive
(2003/71/EC) in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription rights of
the shareholders set forth in Chapter 9, Section 3 of the Finnish
Companies Act.

2. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND ITS ENTRY INTO BALANCE SHEET

The subscription price for the Shares is EUR 2.25 per Share. The
subscription price for the Shares is based on the price determined in
the book-building procedure, which is considered the fair value of
the Shares.

The Subscription Price shall be recorded in its entirety to the
unrestricted invested equity fund of the Company.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND PLACE OF SUBSCRIPTION

The subscription period commences on 3 June 2009 and ends on 4 June
2009. The subscription shall be effected by paying the entire
Subscription Price of the Shares to the bank account as designated by
the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has a right to
extend the subscription period.

4. TERMS OF PAYMENT

The Subscription Price shall be paid upon subscription during the
above-mentioned subscription period.

5. RIGHT TO DIVIDEND AND OTHER RIGHTS

The Shares entitle to dividend and other rights in the Company as
from the registration of the Shares.

The Shares will be issued in the Finnish book-entry system.

6. REASONS FOR DEVIATING FROM THE PRE-EMPTIVE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF
THE
SHAREHOLDERS

The pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders are deviated
from since the purpose of the share issue is to strengthen the
Company's capital structure. There are thus weighty financial reasons
from the Company's perspective for deviating from the pre-emptive
subscription rights of the shareholders as referred to in Chapter 9
Section 4 of the Finnish Companies Act.

7. OTHER ISSUES

The Board of Directors of the Company will decide on other matters
related to the share issue and practical arrangements resulting
therefrom.
