and  business  acquisitions  or  other  arrangements and investments of business
activities  and in the employee incentive  and commitment programs. By virtue of

shareholders'  equity. However, in  accordance with Section  11 of Chapter 15 of
the  Finnish Companies Act the total number  of shares in the Company, which the
Company  and its subsidiaries have  in their possession or  as a pledge, may not
exceed  one  tenth  of  the  total  issued  share  capital  of  the Company. The
authorization  replaces all  previous authorizations  and it  is valid 18 months
from  the decision of the Annual General Meeting. The authorization concerns the

otherwise in being transferred or cancelled.
