Nokia announces settlement of its reopened public exchange offer for Alcatel-
Lucent securities and the registration of new shares

Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announces that its reopened public exchange offer
for Alcatel-Lucent securities in France and in the United States (the "Reopened
Offer") has been settled and that its new shares have been entered into the
Finnish Trade Register.

As previously announced by the French stock market authority, Autorité des
Marchés Financiers (the "AMF"), on February 10, 2016, 426 695 572 outstanding
ordinary shares, 52 286 499 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), 4 795 096
OCEANE 2018 convertible bonds, 19 971 720 OCEANE 2019 convertible bonds, and
56 644 832 OCEANE 2020 convertible bonds of Alcatel-Lucent (Alcatel-Lucent
shares, ADSs and convertible bonds together the "Alcatel-Lucent Securities")
were tendered into the Reopened Offer in France and in the United States, and
accepted by Nokia in consideration for shares or ADSs in Nokia.

The 320 701 193 new Nokia shares issued as consideration for the Alcatel-Lucent
Securities tendered into the Reopened Offer have been entered into the Finnish
Trade Register today. Following entry of the shares into the Finnish Trade
Register, the total number of Nokia's shares equals 5 769 443 837 shares. The
shares carry the right to dividends and all other shareholder rights as of
today.

The Shares have been paid by contribution in kind with Alcatel-Lucent Securities
that have been tendered into the Reopened Offer. The subscription price, EUR
1 694 107 142.10 in aggregate, which is based on the closing price of Nokia's
shares on Nasdaq Helsinki on February 10, 2016, will be recorded in Nokia's fund
for invested non-restricted equity and, consequently, Nokia's share capital
remains unchanged at EUR 245 896 461.96.

As a result of the Reopened Offer Nokia now holds 91.25% of the share capital
and at least 91.17% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent, 99.62% of the
outstanding OCEANE 2018 convertible bonds, 37.18% of the outstanding OCEANE
2019 convertible bonds, and 68.17% of the outstanding OCEANE 2020 convertible
bonds. This equates to Nokia holding 88.07% of the share capital on a fully
diluted basis.

Nokia requested today the conversion of the OCEANE convertible bonds it holds
following settlement of the Reopened Offer. As a result of such conversion, less
than 15% of the 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds will be outstanding and Nokia will
cause Alcatel-Lucent to redeem at par value, plus accrued interest from the date
the interest was last paid, to the date set for the early redemption all of the
outstanding 2018 OCEANE convertible bonds, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of such OCEANE convertible bonds. After the conversion of the OCEANE convertible
bonds tendered into the initial Offer and the Reopened Offer, at the applicable
improved conversion ratios, Nokia will hold 92.34% of the share capital and at
least 92.26% of the voting rights of Alcatel-Lucent.

It is expected that the newly issued Nokia shares will be delivered by Euronext
Paris to the relevant financial intermediaries of the tendering holders of
Alcatel-Lucent securities on February 15, 2016, while the new Nokia ADSs will
today be registered in the name of the former registered Alcatel-Lucent ADS
holders. The trading in the shares is expected to commence on Nasdaq Helsinki
and Euronext Paris as of February 15, 2016 and the trading in the new Nokia ADSs
representing the shares will commence on the New York Stock Exchange as of
February 15, 2016. In addition, it is expected that the relevant financial
intermediaries of Alcatel-Lucent security holders will receive from Euronext
Paris or Citibank, N.A. the cash proceeds corresponding to the fraction of Nokia
shares or ADSs they are entitled to as from March 1, 2016.
