The Committee proposes that the remuneration to the Board of Directors be

the fixed emoluments be EUR 76,000 per year to the Chairman, EUR 49,000 per year
to the Vice Chairman and EUR 38,000 per year to the Board members. In addition, 
a meeting fee of EUR 500 be paid per meeting. The meeting fee is paid for the   
meetings of the Committee as well.                                              

The Appointments and Compensation Committee proposes to the Annual General      
Meeting that the present Board members, Christoffer Taxell, LL.M., Erkki Etola, 
managing director, Kaj-Gustaf Bergh, managing director, Eva Liljeblom,          
professor, Kari Niemistö, managing director, Carola Teir-Lehtinen, director of  
sustainable development, and Henry Wiklund, M.Sc. (Econ.), be re-elected, having
given their consent, to a period of office up to the end of the next Annual     
General Meeting. The Committee further proposes that as a new member of the     
Board, for the same period of office, be elected, having given her consent,     
Charlotta Tallqvist-Cederberg, M.Sc. (Econ.).                                   

At its organization meeting, the Board of Directors will elect amongst its      
number the Chairman, the Vice Chairman and the members of the Appointments and  
Compensation Committee.
