Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well  
as the issuance of special rights entitling to shares                           

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the
issuance of a maximum of 11,000,000 shares through the issuance of shares
and/or special rights entitling to shares, referred to in chapter 10 section 1
of the Limited Liability Companies Act in one or several instalments. The Board
may decide to issue either new shares or own shares already held by the
company. The maximum amount of the proposed authorisation corresponds to
approximately 48.3% of all the company shares at the date of the AGM. It is
proposed that the authorisation be used for financing and carrying out possible
business acquisitions or other arrangements, for consolidating the company's
balance sheet and financing position, for carrying out commitment and
incentives schemes for the personnel or for other purposes decided by the Board
of Directors. It is further proposed that the authorisation comprise the right
of the Board of Directors to decide on all the terms of the share issue and the
issuance of  special rights according to chapter 10 section 1 of the Limited
Liability Companies Act, including the persons who will receive the shares or
special rights entitling to shares and the amount of the consideration to be
paid. Therefore, the authorisation comprises the right to issue shares or
special rights in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights (directed
issue), as set out by law. It is proposed that the authorisation cancel
previous corresponding authorisations and be in force until 31 December 2010. 


The authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve to acquire and transfer  
the company's own shares                                                        

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to resolve to acquire and
transfer the company's own shares subject to the following provisions: 

The Board of Directors can repurchase a maximum of 2,200,000 company shares
with means included in the company's unrestricted equity so that the company
together with its subsidiaries at no time holds or holds as pledge more than 10
per cent of all the company shares. Shares may be acquired for developing the
company's capital structure, for nullification or for use in accordance with
possible personnel incentive and compensation schemes or as consideration in
business acquisitions and other arrangements. The shares shall be repurchased
at a market price formed in public trading at Nasdaq OMX Helsinki. The
repurchase may be made otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the
shareholders (directed repurchase), provided that the company has a weighing
financial reason for doing so. It is further proposed that the authorisation
cancel previous corresponding authorisations and be in force 18 months from the
date of the decision.
