Outlook for 2013

  * Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding one-off
    items will increase from 2012 level. Growth of the net sales of
    Pharmaceutical Trade Russia will slow down in the first part of the year and
    operating profit will be weaker than the previous year, as a result of
    challenges related to the implementation of the warehouse management system
    started in January 2013.

President and CEO Eero Hautaniemi's comments regarding the financial statements
release:"Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 15.3 per cent to EUR 2,474.4 million and
operating profit excluding one-off items came to EUR 27.9 million in 2012.
Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's operating profit excluding one-off items improved
by EUR 5.6 million to EUR 16.2 million and Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's
operating profit excluding one-off items improved by EUR 10.3 million to EUR
-2.3 million. The wholesale business in Finland performed positively. In the
Swedish retail business, the growth in the relative share of sales of traded
goods, the OTC assortment and parallel imports increased the gross margin, and
costs related to the implementation of IT systems no longer affected operating
profit in 2012. In the Swedish wholesale business the low level of invoicing and
preparation costs of EUR 0.7 million associated with the start-up of the OTC
products and traded goods purchasing and logistics service for pharmacy chains
reduced operating profit significantly compared with the previous year. Delivery
of purchasing and logistics services to five pharmacy chains started according
to plan at the beginning of October. The profitability of operations in Sweden
strengthened in both businesses in the segment during the fourth quarter. The
profitability of the Russian retail business improved as a result of the actions
to boost the efficiency of operations and the growth in sales of individual
pharmacies. The operating loss of the Russian wholesale business decreased as a
result of increased regional and hospital sales, intensified operations and
improved delivery reliability. According to plan, both of the Group's businesses
in Russia made a positive operating profit during the final quarter of 2012. We
will systematically continue our planned measures to boost profitability."

Oriola-KD Group's financial statements release 1 January-31 December 2012

The text section of this financial statements release focuses on the annual
financial statements. A comparison in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has been carried out on the figures for the
corresponding period in 2011, unless otherwise stated. The figures for the
entire year presented in this financial statements release have been audited.
The figures in the tables have been rounded independently.

The Group's net sales and result for January-December 2012

The Oriola-KD Group's (hereinafter Oriola-KD) net sales in 2012 were EUR
2,474.4 million (EUR 2,146.0 million), and the operating profit excluding one-
off items was EUR 27.9 million (EUR 13.2 million). Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden's
operating profit excluding one-off items improved from EUR 10.6 million to EUR
16.2 million and Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's operating loss excluding one-off
items decreased from EUR 12.6 million to EUR 2.3 million. Operating profit was
EUR 26.8 million including a one-off item recognised in the third quarter of a
EUR 1.1 million receivable write-off associated with the bankruptcy of cash
transport company Panaxia AB in Sweden (operating loss EUR 20.2 million
including an EUR 33.4 million impairment charge related to the Russian Stary
Lekar brand). Profit after financial items came to EUR 21.5 million (EUR -28.9
million), profit for the financial year was EUR 17.2 million (EUR -24.1 million)
and earnings per share came to EUR 0.11 (EUR -0.16). Oriola-KD's financial
expenses were EUR 5.3 million (EUR 8.7 million), including a EUR 0.7 million
accrual cost of an arrangement fee for a loan repaid in connection with the
renewal of bank loans during the first quarter, and EUR 3.5 million of financial
income with no cash flow effect related to the acquisition of the minority share
in the Swedish retail company that was recognised in the fourth quarter. Taxes
amounted to EUR 4.3 million (EUR 4.8 million positive). The reduction of the tax
rate in Sweden lowered the Group's effective tax rate.

Return on equity was 5.6 per cent (-7.4%) in 2012. Return on equity was boosted
by the improved profitability of the businesses, the EUR 3.5 million in
financial income with no cash flow effect related to the acquisition of the
minority share in the Swedish retail company that was recognised and the
reduction of the tax rate in Sweden. Return on equity was reduced by the one-off
item of a receivable write-off of EUR 1.1 million associated with Panaxia AB.

The Group's net sales and result for October-December 2012

Fourth-quarter net sales came to EUR 707.8 million (EUR 558.8 million) and
operating profit to EUR 10.7 million (EUR 5.8 million). Pharmaceutical Trade
Sweden's operating profit improved from EUR 2.6 million to EUR 4.6 million and
Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's operating profit improved from EUR 0.2 million to

period came to EUR 11.6 million (EUR 4.0 million) and earnings per share were
EUR 0.08 (EUR 0.03).

formed its reporting segments by combining its operating segments. The

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics

January-December 2012

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in 2012 were EUR
460.5 million (EUR 414.8 million) and operating profit was EUR 21.6 million (EUR
20.6 million). Invoicing of the pharmaceutical wholesale business in Finland in
2012 was EUR 1,040.2 million (EUR 970.0 million) and net sales were EUR 380.7
million (EUR 335.9 million). Net sales of the pharmaceutical wholesale business
in the Baltic countries were EUR 36.1 million (EUR 34.1 million) and net sales
of the Consumer Health business, i.e. consumer health products sold under
Oriola-KD's own brands or exclusive sales rights, were EUR 44.2 million (EUR
45.3 million). The Finnish pharmaceutical market grew 3.0 per cent (1.0%) in
2012 . Oriola-KD's market share in the Finnish pharmaceutical wholesale market
was 47.0 per cent (45.1%) in 2012.

The wholesale business in Finland performed positively. Competition in the
Consumer Health business increased from the previous year. All operating
countries within Pharmaceutical Trade Baltics made an operating profit. Oriola-
KD signed a new distribution agreement with Abbott in Finland, which entered
into force on 1 January 2012. Abbot's market share is roughly 3 per cent.
(source: IMS Health) During the first quarter of 2012, a new picking automation
line was taken into use at Oriola-KD's main distribution centre in Espoo, and
during the third quarter, the quality and efficiency of the picking automation
line was increased to the target level.

The strategic focus areas of the Finnish wholesale business during 2013 are the
improvement of quality and logistics and the development of innovative value
added services for pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies.

October-December 2012

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics in the fourth quarter
of 2012 came to EUR 118.3 million (EUR 105.7 million) and operating profit came
to EUR 5.4 million (EUR 4.4 million). Invoicing of the pharmaceutical wholesale
business in Finland in the fourth quarter came to EUR 270.2 million (EUR 244.9
million) and net sales came to EUR 97.6 million (EUR 86.3 million). Net sales of
the pharmaceutical wholesale business in the Baltic countries were EUR 10.1
million (EUR 8.7 million), and net sales of the Consumer Health business were
EUR 10.7 million (EUR 10.9 million).

Pharmaceutical Trade Finland and Baltics had 476 (492) employees at the end of
2012.

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden

January-December 2012

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden in 2012 were EUR 1,061.3 million
(EUR 1,042.0 million) and operating profit excluding one-off items was EUR 16.2
million (EUR 10.6 million). Operating profit excluding one-off items improved as
a result of increased profitability in the retail business. In the Swedish
retail business, the growth in the relative share of sales of traded goods, the
OTC assortment and parallel imports increased the gross margin, and costs
related to the implementation of IT systems no longer affected operating profit
in 2012. In the Swedish wholesale business the low level of invoicing and
preparation costs of EUR 0.7 million associated with the start-up of the OTC
products and traded goods purchasing and logistics service for pharmacy chains
reduced operating profit significantly compared with the previous year. Net
sales of the retail business were EUR 502.5 million (EUR 483.0 million).
Invoicing of the pharmaceutical wholesale business was EUR 1,401.4 million (EUR
1,424.5 million) and net sales were EUR 636.7 million (EUR 616.5 million).

Operating profit including one-off items was EUR 15.2 million (EUR 10.6
million). A one-off item of a receivable write-off of EUR 1.1 million associated
with the bankruptcy of cash transport company Panaxia AB and collected cash in
hand from the pharmacies that was not received as a consequence was recognised
in the third quarter.

The Swedish pharmaceutical market declined by 1.7 per cent (grew 2.0%) in 2012.
The tight competition in the Swedish pharmacy market has led to the bankruptcy
of 9 competing pharmacies, and the opening of new pharmacies, which was launched
in 2010, slowed down in 2012. In 2012, Oriola-KD had a 13.4 per cent (13.5%)
market share in the Swedish pharmaceutical retail market and 35.8 per cent
(38.1%) in the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale market. (source: IMS Health) The
increase in sales of parallel imports and generic medicines in Sweden reduced
Oriola-KD's market share in the pharmaceutical wholesale business.

In 2012, Oriola-KD opened a net number of 10 new pharmacies in Sweden, bringing
the total to 219 (209) at the end of 2012. Relative sales of the traded goods
and OTC assortment were approximately 25 per cent of total sales in 2012.
Oriola-KD acquired Kooperativa Förbundet ekonomisk föreningen's (KF) 20 per cent
minority share in the Swedish retail company Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB for
approximately EUR 12.3 million in November 2012 and as a result now holds 100
per cent of the stock of Kronans Droghandel Apotek AB.  Cooperation with KF
concerning the MedMera customer loyalty cards and Oriola-KD right to open new
pharmacies in KF locations will continue as before after the acquisition of the
minority share.

In June 2012, Oriola-KD's Swedish wholesale company Oriola AB signed agreements
with Apoteksgruppen, DocMorris, Medstop and Vårdapoteket on the purchasing,
warehousing and pharmacy distribution of OTC products and traded goods. The
combined purchases under the agreements are expected to come to approximately
EUR 130 million annually as of 2013. Oriola AB is also responsible for the
purchasing, warehousing and pharmacy distribution of Kronans Droghandel Apotek
AB's OTC products and traded goods. The purchasing and logistics service started
up according to plan at the beginning of October; the financial benefits of the
service will be felt in full as of the second half of 2013. The purchasing and
logistics service is expected to increase the profitability of the wholesale and
retail businesses as a result of greater delivery volumes and improved
purchasing conditions.

In 2013, the strategic focus of the retail business will include improving
pharmacy competitiveness, increasing the sales of traded goods and OTC products
and opening some 15 new pharmacies. The strategic focus of the wholesale
business in 2013 will include improving quality and efficiency, developing the
distribution and value added services offered to pharmaceutical companies and
developing new logistics services and purchasing operations for pharmacy chains.

October-December 2012

The net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden in the fourth quarter of 2012 came
to EUR 292.4 million (EUR 258.6 million) and operating profit to EUR 4.6 million
(EUR 2.6 million). The profitability of operations strengthened in both
businesses in the segment. Net sales of the retail business were EUR 126.3
million (EUR 121.4 million). Invoicing of the wholesale business was EUR 385.4
million (EUR 340.9 million) and net sales were EUR 204.0 million (EUR 150.6
million).

Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had 1,324 (1,223) employees at the end of 2012, of
whom 1,064 (988) were employed in retail and 260 (235) were employed in
wholesale.

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia

January-December 2012

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's net sales in 2012 were EUR 952.7 million (EUR
689.4 million) and operating loss was EUR 2.3 million (operating loss EUR 46.0
million including the EUR 33.4 million impairment charge related to the Stary
Lekar brand and operating loss excluding impairment charge EUR 12.6 million).
The profitability of the retail business improved as a result of the growth in
sales of individual pharmacies due to actions to boost efficiency and changes in
pricing. Net sales of the wholesale business in Russia were 831.1 million (EUR
590.9 million) and net sales of the retail business were EUR 148.6 million (EUR
132.3 million). In the wholesale business, net sales of the regional
distribution centres outside Moscow increased by some 64 per cent in 2012, and
in addition to this, sales of pharmaceuticals to hospitals more than doubled on
the previous year. The operating loss of the wholesale business decreased as a
result of increased regional and hospital sales, increased efficiency and
improved delivery reliability. Both businesses achieved positive EBITDA in 2012.

Payment times have increased in the wholesale business in Russia, which has led
to increased credit loss risks. According to its customer credit policy, Oriola-
KD books a credit loss write-off when a trade receivable is more than 180 days
overdue and there is no separate guarantee associated with the trade receivable.
In 2012, the wholesale business booked a total of EUR 2.7 million (EUR 1.9
million) credit loss write-offs relating to the trade receivables. Oriola-KD
actively continues the collection of overdue trade receivables. In order to
minimise credit loss risks, the Russian wholesale business has shortened its
term of payment for its customers, clarified the trade receivables collection
process and strengthened its collection department.

The ruble-denominated growth in the Russian pharmaceutical market was about
22.7 per cent (12.4%) in 2012 (source: Pharmexpert). Oriola-KD's retail business
grew 9.7 per cent (26.0%) and wholesale business 37.3 per cent (15.8%) in
Russian rubles in 2012. Oriola-KD's net sales increased by 35.0 per cent (24.9%)
in total in Russian rubles in the year under review.

In 2013 the retail business will focus on developing the pharmacy portfolio,
improving the competitiveness of individual pharmacies and strengthening the
product assortment. At the end of 2012, Oriola-KD had 240 (249) pharmacies in
the Moscow area, of which 169 (181) operated under the Stary Lekar brand and 71
(68) under the 03 Apteka brand. In total, 13 (32) pharmacies were opened and 22
(37) were closed in 2012. In June 2012, Oriola-KD completed its project to close
down unprofitable pharmacies. The retail business's EBITDA was positive
throughout 2012, despite the very competitive environment.

In 2013 the wholesale business will continue to expand regional and hospital
sales and invest in improving the efficiency of logistics operations. The
wholesale business has twelve regional logistics centres in addition to the
Moscow main logistics centre.

October-December 2012

Pharmaceutical Trade Russia's fourth-quarter net sales in 2012 came to EUR
296.9 million (EUR 194.5 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 41.3
million (EUR 35.7 million) and wholesale EUR 265.2 million (EUR 164.9 million).

to EUR 22.7 million at the end of 2012. The non-recourse trade receivables sales
programme was continued during 2012 in the Swedish pharmaceutical wholesale
business. Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden had sold a total of EUR 72.1 million (EUR
61.1 million) in trade receivables by the end of 2012. Interest-bearing debt
consisted mainly of the use of the issued commercial paper programme and advance
payments from pharmacies in Finland. Oriola-KD acquired the minority share of
the Swedish pharmacy company with cash during the fourth quarter of 2012; the
obligation to acquire the minority share was previously reported as interest-
bearing debt.

Oriola-KD's committed long-term credit facility of EUR 100.0 million and EUR
43.3 million of short-term credit account limits with banks were unused at the
end of 2012. A total of EUR 43.8 million (EUR 0.0 million) of Oriola-KD's EUR

period. In February 2012, Oriola-KD renewed all long-term external loan
agreements by signing a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with four
banks amounting to EUR 100.0 million that will mature in April 2014.

Net cash flow from operations in 2012 was EUR 46.1 million (EUR 28.1 million),
of which changes in working capital accounted for EUR 23.1 million (EUR 11.8
million). The trade receivables sales programme that was launched in Sweden
boosted the net cash flow from operations by EUR 22.7 million. Net cash flow
from investing activities was EUR -34.9 million (EUR -27.1 million) including

Corporation's Board of Directors decided on a new share incentive scheme for the
Group's senior management for the years 2013-2015. The company's Board of
Directors determines the earnings criteria for the earning period and the
targets to be set for these at the start of each earning period. The bonus for
the 2013 earning period is based on the Oriola-KD Group's earnings per share
(EPS) and return on capital employed (ROCE). Oriola-KD Corporation is also
planning to set up a share savings plan for 70 of the Group's key employees. The
Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation is aiming to make the final decision
regarding the plan in spring 2013.

Decisions of the 2012 Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Oriola-KD Corporation, held on 26 March 2012,
adopted the 2011 financial statements and discharged the members of the Board of
Directors and the President and CEO from liability for the financial year ending
31 December 2011. According to the decisions of the AGM, the company paid a
dividend of EUR 0.05 per share and distributed EUR 0.03 per share as repayment
of equity on 12 April 2012.

The AGM re-elected Jukka Alho, Harry Brade, Per Båtelson, Pauli Kulvik, Outi
Raitasuo, Olli Riikkala (Chairman), Ilkka Salonen and Mika Vidgrén as Board
members. The AGM confirmed a term of office fee of EUR 48,400 for the Chairman,
EUR 30,250 for the Vice Chairman, and EUR 24,200 for the other members of the
Board. The Chairman receives an attendance fee of EUR 800 per meeting, and the
other Board members EUR 400 per meeting. In accordance with the decision of the
AGM, 40 per cent of the term of office fee was used to acquire Oriola-KD
Corporation's class B shares for the Board members on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
Stock Exchange on 13 April 2012, and 60 per cent of the fee was paid in cash on
20 April 2012.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was re-elected as auditor for the company, with APA
Heikki Lassila as principal auditor.

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on repurchasing up to fifteen million of
the company's own class B shares. Shares may be repurchased also in a proportion
other than in which shares are owned by the shareholders. The authorisation is
in force for eighteen months following the decision of the AGM.

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on a share issue against payment in one
or more issues, including the right to issue new class B shares or to assign
class B shares held by the company. The authorisation covers a combined maximum
of fifteen million class B shares of the company and includes the right to
derogate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right. The
authorisation is in force for eighteen months following the decision of the AGM.

At its constitutive meeting held immediately after the AGM, the Board of
Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation elected Outi Raitasuo as Vice Chairman of the
Board. The Board appointed from among its members Outi Raitasuo (Chairman),
Harry Brade, Ilkka Salonen and Mika Vidgrén to the Board's Audit Committee, and
Olli Riikkala (Chairman), Per Båtelson and Pauli Kulvik to the Board's
Remuneration Committee.
In addition to the above mentioned members, the Board appointed Harry Brade to
the Remuneration Committee at its meeting held on 29 August 2012. The Board of
Directors has assessed the independence of its members and determined that all
members are independent of both the company and its major shareholders.

Composition of Oriola-KD's Nomination Committee

On 4 Ocotber 2012, the Board of Directors of Oriola-KD Corporation appointed the
following persons as members of the company's Nomination Committee: Into Ylppö
(Chairman), Harry Brade, Matti Kavetvuo, Pekka Pajamo, Olli Riikkala and Timo
Ritakallio.

According to the rules of procedure of the Nomination Committee approved by the
Board of Directors, the committee is a body established by the Board of
Directors whose duty is to prepare and make a recommendation to the Board of
Directors on a proposal to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting regarding
the composition and compensation of the Board of Directors. A member of the
Committee does not need to be a member of the Board of Directors. The purpose of
this deviation from the Corporate Governance Code is to enable election of major
shareholders in the company to the Nomination Committee and thus to ensure that
their opinions are heard well before the Annual General Meeting.

Risks

Oriola-KD's Board of Directors has approved the company's risk management policy
in which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and
reporting are specified. The Group's risk management seeks to identify, measure
and manage risks that may threaten Oriola-KD's operations and the achievement of
goals set. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been
determined in the Group.

Oriola-KD's risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk
management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and
daily decision-making at Oriola-KD.

During the third quarter of 2012, Oriola-KD updated the principal strategic and
operational risks in its business:

  * Amendments to pharmaceutical market regulations may weaken Oriola-KD's
    profitability.
  * In the Swedish retail business, the free establishment of pharmacies has led
    to a rapid increase in the number of pharmacies. The number of pharmacies
    may continue to grow, which means that the fierce competition could
    continue.
  * In the Russian retail business, tough competition resulting from the large
    number of pharmacies may lead to a further decrease in the gross margin and
    a rapid turnover rate of key personnel.
  * Extra capacity ensuing from a change in the Swedish wholesale market will
    intensify competition, which may weaken the profitability of operations. The
    share of single channel distribution in the pharmaceutical wholesale market
    may decline rapidly, which may weaken the profitability of operations and
    lead to the restructuring of wholesale operations.
  * As a result of the tough competition in the Russian wholesale business, the
    gross margin may decline further, which will lead to a continued need to
    intensify operations and restructure wholesale operations over the long
    term. The payment behaviour that is typical to the Russian market, combined
    with the regional expansion of operations may increase credit risks.
  * Strategic development projects involve operational risks

The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency rate, liquidity,
interest rate and credit risks. Currency risks are the most significant
financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as any changes in the value of the Russian
ruble or the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD's financial
performance and equity.

Goodwill and intangible rights are subject to impairment testing at least once
every year. Changes in cash flow forecasts based on strategic plans, or in the
discount rate or perpetuity growth rate, can cause a goodwill write-off, which
would weaken Oriola-KD's result. The impairment test of the goodwill of the
Russian cash-generating units, in particular, is sensitive to changes in the
discount rate or cash-flow forecasts.

Near-term risks and uncertainty factors

A decrease in gross margin resulting from intense competition and an increase in
credit risks concerning customers may have an impact on the profitability of the
wholesale business in Russia. Oriola-KD's strategic development projects in the
wholesale business in Russia and the operations in Sweden involve operational
risks which may have an effect on Oriola-KD's profitability.

Profit distribution proposal

Oriola-KD's parent company is Oriola-KD Corporation, whose distributable assets
based on the balance sheet on 31 December 2012 were EUR 225.3 million (EUR
221.9 million). Oriola-KD Corporation's profit for the financial year 2012 was
EUR 15.5 million (EUR 64.6 million).

The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.05 per
share (EUR 0.05 per share) is paid for 2012, and that EUR 0.04 per share (EUR
0.03 per share) is distributed from the reserves of unrestricted equity as
repayment of equity, totaling EUR 0.09 per share (EUR 0.08 per share) in
distributed assets.

Annual General Meeting

Oriola-KD Corporation's Annual General Meeting will be held on 20 March 2013 at
5.00 p.m. at the Helsinki Fair Centre. The matters specified in article 10 of
the Articles of Association and other proposals of the Board of Directors, if
any, will be dealt with at the meeting. The Board of Directors will decide on
the notice of the Annual General Meeting and the proposals contained in it at a
later date. The notice of the Annual General Meeting will be published in the
Helsingin Sanomat newspaper on 27 February 2013 at the latest.

Publication of the annual report

2013 at the latest.

Corporate governance statement

The company has issued a Corporate Governance Statement prepared in accordance
with Recommendation 54 of the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2012. The
Corporate Governance Statement is not part of the report of the Board of
Directors. The statement is available at www.oriola-kd.com.

Outlook

Oriola-KD's outlook for 2013 is based on external market forecasts, agreements
with pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, and management assessments. In the
period 2012-2016, the pharmaceutical market is expected to grow on average per
year by 0.3 per cent in Finland, 0.5 per cent in Sweden, and 11.1 per cent in
Russia, measured in local currencies (source: IMS Health).

Oriola-KD estimates that net sales and operating profit excluding one-off items
will increase from 2012 level. Growth of the net sales of Pharmaceutical Trade
Russia will slow down in the first part of the year and operating profit will be
weaker than the previous year, as a result of challenges related to the
implementation of the warehouse management system started in January 2013.

Events after the review period

A new warehouse management system was taken into use at the main logistics
center in Moscow in January 2013, which is expected to improve the efficiency of
logistics starting from the second half of the year. Growth of the net sales of
Pharmaceutical Trade Russia will slow down in the first part of the year and
operating profit will be weaker than the previous year, as a result of
challenges related to the implementation of the warehouse management system
started in January 2013. Oriola-KD signed a letter of intent on a 10-year lease
agreement to transfer a new main logistics centre in Moscow region and on the
logistics centre's automation solution. According to the plan, the final lease
agreement will be signed during the first quarter of 2013 and the new automated
main logistics centre will be in use during the first half of 2014.

The logistics centre in Irkutsk was closed down temporarily due to damage caused
by a fire that broke out in neighbouring premises and the efforts required to
extinguish this fire. The net sales of the logistics centre in Irkutsk account
for about 2 per cent of the net sales of the Russian wholesale business. The
logistics centre is expected to resume operations during the second quarter of
the year.

In Finland, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health will be cutting the
wholesale prices of patented pharmaceuticals by 5 per cent from the beginning of
February 2013.

On 29 January 2013, the Nomination Committee of Oriola-KD Corporation presented
to the Board of Directors its recommendation that the Board propose the
following to the 2013 Annual General Meeting concerning the composition of the
Board of Directors:

  * The number of members of the Board of Directors shall be six.
  * The present members of the Board of Directors, Jukka Alho, Harry Brade, Per
    Båtelson, Outi Raitasuo and Mika Vidgrén, shall be re-elected.
  * Karsten Slotte shall be elected as a new member of the Board of Directors.
  * Jukka Alho shall be elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Olli Riikkala, Chairman of the Board as well as Pauli Kulvik and Ilkka Salonen,
members of the Board shall leave the office of Board of Directors after the
2013 Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee also announced as its recommendation that the following
remunerations shall continue to be paid to the members of the Board of
Directors:

  * Chairman of the Board: annual fee of EUR 48,400 and telephone as a fringe
    benefit.
  * Vice Chairman of the Board: annual fee of EUR 30,250
  * Chairman of the Audit Committee: annual fee of EUR 30,250
  * Other members of the Board: annual fee of EUR 24,200
  * Attendance fees shall be paid as follows: Board of Directors meetings, EUR
    800 per meeting to the Chairman and EUR 400 per meeting to members.
    Committee meetings, EUR 800 per meeting to the committee Chairman and EUR
    400 per meeting to members.
  * Of the annual fee, 60 per cent shall be paid in cash and 40 per cent shall
    be used to acquire Oriola-KD Corporation's class B-shares for the members of
    the Board of Directors on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange. The shares
    shall be purchased within two weeks of the release of the company's interim
    report for January 1 - March 31, 2013. The shares shall be acquired directly
    on behalf of the members of the Board of Directors, i.e. without the company
    becoming the owner of the shares first, which is an approved manner to
    acquire Oriola-KD shares according to the applicable insider rules.
  * Travel expenses shall be reimbursed in accordance with the company's travel
    policy.
