ORGANISATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At its organising meeting held on 3 April 2007, the Board elected Mr. Heikki
Hortling as the Chairman of the Board and Mr. Esa Lager as the Vice Chairman of
the Board. 

DECISION REGARDING THE ACQUISITION OF OWN SERIES A SHARES 

In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, the Annual General Meeting
decided to revoke all existing unused authorisations to acquire own shares and
authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's
own shares using distributable funds. The authorisation is valid for one year
starting from the Annual General Meeting and covers a maximum of 245,000 A
shares. The Board of Directors may also propose that any shares acquired on the
company's own account be cancelled by reducing the share capital. 

The authorisation allows the Board of Directors to acquire the company's own
shares for use as consideration in case of any upcoming corporate acquisitions,
for the funding of investments, for the incentive and commitment scheme for key
personnel or for cancellation. The shares would be purchased in accordance with
the Board of Directors' decision in public trading on the Helsinki Exchanges at
the current market price at the time of acquisition. The purchase price shall
be paid to the sellers within the payment period determined on the basis of the
Rules of the Helsinki Exchanges and the Finnish Central Securities Depository. 

Because the maximum number of A shares to be acquired represents less than 5%
of all the shares in the company and approximately 1 % of all the votes, the
acquisition would not have any significant effect on the distribution of
shareholdings and voting rights in the company. 


DECISION REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF OWN SERIES A SHARES

In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, the Annual General Meeting
decided to revoke all existing unused authorisations for the transfer of own
shares and authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the transfer of any A
shares acquired on the company's own account within one year of the Annual
General Meeting. The authorisation would comprise the transfer of all shares
purchased on the basis of acquisition authorisations granted to the Board of
Directors. 

The authorisation grants the Board of Directors with the power to decide to
whom and in what order the shares held by the company shall be transferred. The
Board of Directors could transfer the company's own shares for use as
consideration in case of any upcoming corporate acquisitions, for the funding
of investments or for use within an incentive and commitment scheme for key
personnel. 

The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on the transfer price of the
company's own shares and on the bases for determining the transfer price.
