Stock exchange release
January 24, 2013 at 5.00 pm (CET+1)


The Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting of Kemira Oyj that
five members (previously six) be elected to the Board of Directors and that the
present members Winnie Fok, Juha Laaksonen, Jari Paasikivi, Kerttu Tuomas and
Jukka Viinanen be re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. The
Nomination Board proposes Jukka Viinanen to be re-elected as the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Jari Paasikivi to be re-elected as the Vice Chairman.

The Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the
remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors will remain
unchanged, except that the annual fee payable to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee, when he is not the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors, is proposed to be increased to EUR 45,000 from EUR 36,000 payable to
the other members of the Board of Directors. The reason for this proposal is the
big workload of the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors would thus be as
follows. The annual fees: for the Chairman EUR 74,000 per year, for the Vice
Chairman and the Chairman of the Audit Committee EUR 45,000 per year and for the
other members EUR 36,000 per year. A fee payable for each meeting of the Board
of Directors and the Board Committees would be for the members residing in
Finland EUR 600, for the members residing in rest of Europe EUR 1,200 and for
the members residing outside Europe EUR 2,400. Travel expenses are proposed to
be paid according to Kemira's travel policy.

In addition, the Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that
the annual fee be paid as a combination of the company's shares and cash in such
a manner that 40% of the annual fee is paid with the company's shares owned by
the company or, if this is not possible, shares purchased from the market, and
60% is paid in cash. The shares will be transferred to the members of the Board
of Directors and, if necessary, acquired directly on behalf of the members of
the Board of Directors within two weeks from the release of Kemira's interim
report January 1 - March 31, 2013. The meeting fees are proposed to be paid in
cash.

The Nomination Board has consisted of the following representatives: Pekka
Paasikivi, Chairman of the Board of Oras Invest Oy as the Chairman of the
Nomination Board; Kari Järvinen, Managing Director of Solidium Oy; Risto Murto,
Executive Vice President, Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Company and Timo
Ritakallio, Deputy CEO, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company as members of
the Nomination Board and Jukka Viinanen, Chairman of Kemira's Board of Directors
as an expert member.
