The general meeting authorised the Board of Directors to take necessary measures required by the resolution in order to execute such sale. The resolution of the general meeting to sell the shares deposited on the joint account shall, in accordance with the old Companies Act (29.9.1978/734), be notified to the owners of such shares and to any pledgees and other assignees. The shares in Amanda Capital Plc have been registered with the book-entry system since 1 November 2000, when the company was established as a result of the division of a company named Finvest Oyj. The shares in Finvest Oyj were transferred to the book-entry system on 27 November 1992. In connection with the transfer of the shares into the book-entry system the shareholders were required to register their ownership of the shares with the book-entry system. A joint account was opened for such shares, whose ownership was not registered with the book-entry system as required. The company was recorded as the holder of the joint account on behalf of the shareholders whose shares were not registered. At this moment (31 December 2007) there are 6,752 shares of the company on the joint account representing approximately 0.03 per cent of all shares. Those shareholders of Amanda Capital Plc or other assignees, which have not demanded the registration of their ownership or other rights with the book-entry system, are requested to register their rights without undue delay by delivering their share certificate and other possible documents of title to a relevant account operator. The shareholders or other assignees shall demand the registration of their shares or other rights with the book-entry system as required by law on 18 February 2009, at the latest, under the consequence that the rights to these shares will otherwise be deemed forfeited. Shares that have not been transferred into the book-entry system by 18 February 2009 will be sold on behalf and for the benefit of their owners. The proceeds of such sale, after deducting any costs incurred in connection with the sale and notification thereof, will be deposited for the benefit of the owners with the Southern Finland's County Administrative Board (in Finnish: Etelä-Suomen lääninhallitus). After the sale of the shares the shareholders have the right to receive an amount from the deposited funds equalling their proportion of the shares against the delivery of relevant share certificates and other possible documents of title.
