Authorisation to acquire the company's own shares

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition the
company's own shares by using distributable funds on the terms given below. The
acquisition of shares reduces the company's distributable unrestricted
shareholders' equity.

The shares may be acquired in order to develop the company's capital structure,
to be used as payment in corporate acquisitions or when the company acquires
assets related to its business and as part of the company's incentive programmes
in a manner and to the extent decided by the Board of Directors, and to be
transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled. A maximum of 5 900 000 shares
can be acquired. The amount of shares in the possession of the company shall at
no time exceed one tenth (1/10) of the aggregate amount of shares in the
company. The shares will be acquired in accordance with the decision of the
Board of Directors either through public trading, in which case the shares would
be acquired in another proportion than that of the current shareholders, or by
public offer at market prices at the time of purchase. As the acquisition takes
place in public, neither the order of acquisition nor the effect of the
acquisition on the distribution of ownership and voting rights in the company
nor the distribution of ownership and votes among insiders of the company is
known in advance.

The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on all other terms and
conditions.

The authorisation shall be in force 18 months from the decision of this AGM. The
authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by the previous AGM regarding
acquisition of the company's own shares expired simultaneously.

Authorisation to issue shares

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide to issue new shares and to
convey the company's own shares held by the company in one or more tranches. The
share issue can be carried out as a share issue against payment or without
consideration on terms to be determined by the Board of Directors and in
relation to a share issue against payment at a price to be determined by the
Board of Directors.

The authorisation also includes the right to issue special rights, in the
meaning of Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Companies Act, which entitle to the
company's new shares or the company's own shares held by the company against
consideration.

A maximum of 11 800 000 new shares can be issued. A maximum of 5 900 000 own
shares held by the company can be conveyed.

The authorisation comprises a right to deviate from the shareholders' pre-
emptive subscription right provided that the company has an important financial
reason for the deviation in a share issue against payment and provided that the
company taking into account the interest of all its shareholders has a
particularly important financial reason for the deviation in a share issue
without consideration. The authorisation can within the above mentioned limits
be used e.g. in order to strengthen the company's capital structure, to broaden
the company's ownership, to be used as payment in corporate acquisitions or when
the company acquires assets relating to its business and as part of the
company's incentive programmes. The shares may also be subscribed for or own
shares conveyed against contribution in kind or by means of set-off.

In addition, the authorisation includes the right to decide on a share issue
without consideration to the company itself so that the amount of own shares
held by the company after the share issue is a maximum of one-tenth (1/10) of
all shares in the company. Pursuant to Chapter 15 Section 11 Subsection 1 of the
Companies Act, all own shares held by the company and its subsidiaries are
included in this amount.

The authorisation shall be in force 18 months from the decision of this AGM. The
authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by the previous AGM regarding
issuing shares expired simultaneously.
