  · The meeting fee for meetings held over the telephone or through other means
of data communication is paid according to the fee payable for meetings held in

purchased directly on behalf of the Board members within two weeks as of the
first trading day of the Helsinki Stock Exchange following the publication of
the interim report for the period 1 January to 31 March 2025. If the shares are
not purchased and/or delivered based on a reason pertaining to the Company or
the Board member, the fee will be in cash in its entirety. The Company is
responsible for any transfer tax potentially levied on the purchase.

12. Deciding the number of members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination Board proposes that the Board shall have eight members.

13. Election of the Chair, the Vice Chair, and the members of the Board of
Directors

The Nomination Board proposes that the current members John Abbott, Nick
Elmslie, Just Jansz, Conrad Keijzer, Pasi Laine and Sari Mannonen be re-elected
for a further term of office. The Nomination Board proposes that Anna Hyvönen
and Essimari Kairisto shall be elected as new members. Matti Kähkönen, the Chair
of Neste's Board of Directors, is stepping down from his Board position as
planned and will not be available for re-election for the next term of office.
The Nomination Board proposes that Pasi Laine shall be elected as the Chair and
John Abbott as the Vice Chair of the Board.

In addition to Matti Kähkönen, the current Board member Johanna Söderström has
informed that she will not be available for re-election for the next period of
office. Eeva Sipilä will start as Neste's CFO no later than 1 May 2025, and will
resign from the Company's Board before the AGM.

All persons proposed for Board service have given their consent to serving on
the Board and are considered to be independent of the Company and its major
shareholders. More information on the persons proposed by the Nomination Board
for Board service can be found at www.neste.com.

As regards the selection procedure for the members of the Board of Directors,
the Shareholders' Nomination Board recommends that shareholders take a position
on the proposal as a whole at the AGM. This recommendation is based on the fact
that at Neste, in line with the Nordic governance model, the Shareholders'
Nomination Board is separate from the Board of Directors. The Nomination Board,
in addition to ensuring that individual nominees for membership of the Board of
Directors possess the required competences, is also responsible for making sure
that the proposed Board of Directors as a whole also has the best possible
expertise and experience for the Company and that the composition of the Board
of Directors also meets other requirements of the Finnish Corporate Governance
Code for listed companies.

14. Deciding the remuneration of the Auditor

The Board proposes, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to the AGM
that the Auditor's fee shall be paid as invoiced and approved by the Company.

15. Election of the Auditor

The Board proposes, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, that the AGM
would re-elect KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, as the Company's
Auditor. KPMG Oy Ab has announced that it will appoint Mrs. Leenakaisa Winberg,
Authorized Public Accountant, as the principally responsible auditor. The
Auditor's term of office shall end at the closure of the next AGM.

16. Deciding the remuneration of the Sustainability Reporting Assurer

The Board proposes, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to the AGM
that the fee of Sustainability Reporting Assurer shall be paid as invoiced and
approved by the Company.

17. Election of the Sustainability Reporting Assurer

The Board proposes, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, that the AGM
would re-elect KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Sustainability Audit Firm, as the
Company's Sustainability Reporting Assurer. KPMG Oy Ab has announced that it
will appoint Mrs. Leenakaisa Winberg, Authorized Public Accountant, Authorized
Sustainability Auditor, as the principally responsible sustainability reporting
assurer. The Sustainability Reporting Assurer's term of office shall end at the
closure of the next AGM.

18. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide the buyback of Company shares

The Board proposes that the AGM should authorize the Board to purchase Company
shares ("Buyback authorization") under the following terms:

Under this Buyback authorization, the Board shall be authorized to decide the
purchase of and/or take as security a maximum of 23,000,000 Company shares using
the Company's unrestricted equity. The number of shares shall be equivalent to
approximately 2.99% of the Company's total shares.

Shares may be purchased in one or more lots. The purchase price shall be at
least the lowest price paid for Company shares in regulated trading at the time
of purchase and no more than the highest price paid for Company shares in
regulated trading at the time of purchase. In connection with the buyback of
Company shares, derivative, share lending, or other agreements that are normal
within the framework of capital markets may take place in accordance with
legislative and regulatory requirements and at a price determined by the market.
The authorization shall allow the Board to decide to purchase shares otherwise
than in proportion to shareholders' current holdings (directed buyback).

Shares so purchased can be used as consideration in possible acquisitions or in
other arrangements that are part of the Company's business, to finance
investments, as part of the Company's incentive program, or be retained,
conveyed, or cancelled by the Company.

The Board of Directors shall decide the other terms related to the buyback of
Company shares. The Buyback authorization shall remain in force for eighteen
(18) months from the decision taken by the AGM. The authorization is proposed to
revoke the buyback authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the AGM on
27 March 2024.

19. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on share issue

The Board proposes that the AGM would authorize the Board to decide on share
issue under the following terms:

Under the authorization, the Board shall be authorized to take one or more
decisions on the issuance of new shares and/or the conveyance of treasury shares
held by the Company, provided that the number of shares thereby issued and/or
conveyed totals a maximum of 23,000,000 shares, equivalent to approximately
2.99% of all the Company's shares.

The new shares may be issued and/or the treasury shares held by the Company may
be conveyed to the Company's shareholders in proportion to the shares they
already own or through a directed share issue that bypasses shareholders' pre
-emptive rights if the Company has a weighty financial reason for doing so, such
as using the shares in question as consideration in possible acquisitions or in
other arrangements that are part of the Company's business, to finance
investments, or as part of the Company's incentive program.

The new shares may be issued and/or the treasury shares held by the Company may
be conveyed against payment or free of charge. A directed share issue may only
be made free of charge if there is a particularly weighty financial reason, in
respect of the Company's interests and those of all of its shareholders, for
doing so. The new shares may also be issued free of charge to the Company
itself.

The Board shall decide on other terms and conditions of share issue. The
authorization shall remain in force for eighteen (18) months from the decision
taken by the AGM. The authorization shall revoke the authorization granted by
the AGM on 27 March 2024 to the Board to decide on share issue.

2.    Shareholders with nominee-registered holdings

Shareholders with nominee-registered holdings are entitled to attend the AGM on
the basis of shares held on the record date, i.e., 13 March 2025, that would
entitle them to be included in the shareholders' register maintained by
Euroclear Finland Oy. Attendance also requires that these shareholders are
included temporarily in the shareholders' register maintained by Euroclear
Finland Oy by 10.00 a.m. EET on 20 March 2025 at the latest. This is considered
as registering a shareholder with nominee-registered holdings to attend the AGM.

Shareholders with nominee-registered holdings are encouraged to request in good
time their custodian bank for the necessary instructions concerning temporary
registration with the shareholders' register, issuing letters of proxy and
voting instructions, and registering for the AGM and advance voting. Account
managers at custodian banks should register shareholders with nominee-registered
holdings, that wish to attend the AGM and that would be entitled to be included
in the shareholders' register on the basis of shares held as mentioned above, in
the shareholders' register of the Company on a temporary basis by the date and
time referred to above at the latest, and, if necessary, take care of advance
voting on behalf of the nominee-registered shareholder before the end of the
registration period for nominee-registered shareholders.

3.    Use of a proxy and authorizations

A shareholder is entitled to participate and make use of his or her rights as a
shareholder at the AGM by proxy. The shareholder's proxy representative can also
vote in advance, if he/she so wishes, as described in this invitation.

A person holding a shareholder's proxy should be in possession of a dated letter
of proxy or otherwise be able to show in a reliable manner that he or she is
entitled to act in this capacity on behalf of a shareholder at the AGM.
Authorizations shall be considered to cover one meeting only, unless otherwise
stated. In the event that a shareholder is represented by more than one proxy
representative representing shares held in different securities accounts, each
proxy representative should state which shares he or she represents when
registering to attend the AGM.

Shareholders' letters of proxy should be sent to Neste Corporation, Annual
General Meeting, POB 95, FI-00095 NESTE, or via email (e.g. PDF) at the address
agm@neste.com to reach the Company before the last date for registration. In
addition to submitting proxy documents, shareholders or their proxy
representatives must ensure that they have registered for the AGM in the manner
described above in this notice.

Shareholders can also use the electronic Suomi.fi authorization service instead
of a traditional proxy document. In this case, the shareholder authorizes a
proxy that he/she/it nominates in the Suomi.fi authorization service on the
website suomi.fi/e-authorizations (using the mandate theme "Representation at
the General Meeting"). In connection with the AGM service, any person so
authorized must identify themselves with strong electronic identification in
connection with the registration, after which the electronic authorization will
be checked automatically. Strong electronic identification works with online
banking credentials or Mobile ID. More information on the electronic
authorization service is available on the website suomi.fi/e-authorizations.

In addition, a shareholder who is a natural person can also authorize a proxy
representative in connection with electronic registration, instead of a
traditional proxy document. An authorized proxy representative can vote in
advance on behalf of such natural person by regular mail or e-mail, as described
below in point 4, sub-item b.

4. Advance voting

Shareholders with a Finnish book-entry account can vote in advance during the
period 13 February 2025 - 4.00 p.m. EET on 17 March 2025

the Company's website or corresponding information to Euroclear Finland Oy by
regular mail to Euroclear Finland Oy, Yhtiökokous / Neste Corporation, P.O. Box
1110, FI-00101 Helsinki, Finland, or by e-mail to yhtiokokous@euroclear.com.
Advance votes must be received by the end of advance voting period. Delivery of
the votes in this manner before the deadline for delivering the notice of
participation and the advance voting period is deemed as a registration for the
AGM, provided that abovementioned information that is required for registration
of participation appear therefrom.

It is not possible for a shareholder who has voted in advance to use the right
to ask questions or the right to demand a vote in accordance with the Finnish
Companies Act, unless the shareholder itself, or the shareholder's proxy
representative, participates in the AGM at the AGM venue.

As regards the nominee-registered shareholders, the advance voting is done
through the account manager. The account manager can vote in advance on behalf
of the nominee-registered shareholders it represents in accordance with the
voting instructions given by them during the registration period set for nominee
-registered shares.

The decision proposal that is the subject of advance vote is considered to have
been presented unchanged at the AGM. The conditions of electronic advance voting
and other thereto related instructions are available through the Company's
website at www.neste.com/agm.

5.    Other instructions and information

The AGM will be held in Finnish language. There will be a simultaneous
