ACQUISITION OF OWN SHARES                                                       
The AGM approved the Board of Directors proposal that it be authorized to decide
on acquisition of the company's own shares by using the assets from the         
company's unrestricted equity so that the maximum number of class B shares to be
acquired is 588,076. The proposed amount corresponds to approximately 9.77      
percent of all the shares in company and in total ten percent of the company's  
class B shares. The shares will be acquired through public trading arranged by  
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki in accordance with its rules, and the consideration to be   
paid for the shares to be acquired must be based on market price. The company   
may acquire B class shares directly from a shareholder by entering into a       
contractual trade, provided that the number of class B shares to be acquired via
contractual trade is at least 15,000 and that the consideration to be paid for  
the shares is equal to the prevailing market price in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki at the
time of the acquisition. When carrying out the acquisition of the company's own 
shares, derivatives, share lending and other contracts customary to the capital 
markets may be entered into within the limits set by law and regulations.       

The authorization entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition  
in a proportion other than that of the shares held by the shareholders (directed
acquisition). The shares are acquired to be used in order to carry out          
acquisitions or other arrangements within the scope of the company's business   
operations, to improve the company's capital structure, as part of implementing 
the company's incentive schemes, or to be further transferred for other purposes
or to be cancelled. The Board of Directors is entitled to decide on all other   
matters pertaining to the acquisition of the company's own shares.              

The authorization will be in force until the next Annual General Meeting.       

ISSUANCE OF SHARES AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS ENTITLING TO SHARES                 
The AGM approved the Board of Directors proposal to authorize the Board of      
Directors to decide on an issue of new class B shares and on a transfer of class
B treasury shares held by the company either against or without payment.        

The new class B shares may be issued and the class B treasury shares held by the
company may be transferred to the shareholders of the company in proportion to  
their shareholdings or in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights if
there is a weighty financial reason for the company to do so.                   

The Board of Directors may also decide on a share issue to the company itself   
without payment.                                       

The Board of Directors also proposes that the Board be authorized to issue      
special rights referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act
entitling the holder to receive new shares in the company or class B treasury   
shares held by the company against payment.                                     

The maximum number of new class B shares, including shares to be issued under   
special rights, may amount to a total of 1,176,152 shares, at maximum. The      
maximum number of class B treasury shares held by the company that are subject  
to the transfer may total 588,076 shares. The Board of Directors is entitled to 
decide on all other matters pertaining to the issuance of shares as well as     
other special rights entitling to shares.                                       

The authorizations will be in force until the next Annual General Meeting. The  
authorizations will not revoke previous unused share issue authorizations.
