Network business area is responsible for Basware's network business, aimed at
accelerating growth of transactions in Basware Commerce Network, the largest
open business commerce network in the world. The business area includes business

time alternatives to manage their working capital on Basware Commerce Network.
The business area includes sales, business development, product management,
delivery, support and production operations. Executive Team member Ad van der
Poel with the title of Senior Vice President, Financing Services, will continue
to head the business area.

Purchase to Pay business area is responsible for Basware's software business,
extending the company's global leadership in purchase to pay solutions and
driving the growth in cloud-based services. The business area consists of
business and product management, R&D and production operations of Basware's
world-leading, cloud-based Purchase to Pay solutions. Executive Team member
Ilari Nurmi with the title of Senior Vice President, Purchase to Pay has been
appointed as the head of the business area.

Professional Services is a global unit serving all Basware's customers,
including project management, delivery, business consulting and related
operations and development across the business areas. The unit focuses on fast
delivery of all Basware's services and solutions and it will be headed by
Executive Team member, Matti Rusi with the title of Senior Vice President,
Professional Services.

The alignments will continue also in the Customer Care unit, a centralized unit
for customer support which was established earlier this year. Customer Care is
developing all Basware's support channels to better meet the needs of customers
of all sizes.

All Basware Executive team members report to Basware's CEO Esa Tihilä.

"For Basware, growth and customer focus are key. We are constantly aligning our
ways of working with our growth strategy and values. This alignment is a step
forward for us to increase our customer focus, and at the same time align the
organization with the growth targets. Our customers will benefit from further
improved solutions and services and faster deliveries, regardless of their
location, size or changing needs to improve financial processes and for new,
more flexible ways to manage cash flow," says Esa Tihilä, CEO, Basware
Corporation.

The changes within the Basware organization are effective as of January
1, 2016. The changes will not have any impact on the number of personnel or a
direct impact on other Basware's functions.

The changes will not have a direct impact on the key figures for Basware's
