AGM's Nomination Board

Following a proposal by the Prime Minister's Office, representing the Finnish
State, the AGM decided to establish an AGM Nomination Board to prepare proposals
covering the members of the Board of Directors and their remuneration for
consideration by the next AGM. The Nomination Board comprises representatives of
the Company's three largest shareholders and shall also include, as an expert
member, the Chairman of the Board. The right to appoint the shareholder
representatives on this Nomination Board will lie with the three shareholders
holding the largest number of votes associated with all the company's shares on
1 November preceding the AGM. In the event that a shareholder does not wish to
exercise his right to appoint a representative, this right shall pass to the
next-largest shareholder. The company's largest shareholders shall be determined
on the basis of the information on holdings registered in the book-entry system,
with the proviso that the holdings of a shareholder required under securities
legislation to flag certain changes in his holdings, and with shares spread
across a number of funds, for example, shall be combined if the shareholder
informs the company of his wishes to this effect in writing by 28 October 2011.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors will be responsible for convening the
Nomination Board, and the Nomination Board's members will appoint a Chairman
from among themselves. The Nomination Board will present their proposal to the
Board of Directors by 1 February prior to the AGM at the latest.
The minutes of the Annual General Meeting shall be available for review in two
weeks from the Annual General Meeting at the company's headquarters.
