March 22, 2017 at 5 PM EET

NOT  FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN  WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA
OR  HONG KONG OR  IN ANY OTHER  JURISDICTION IN WHICH  THE TENDER OFFER WOULD BE
PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

As  announced  on  February  23, 2017, Nokia  Solutions  and  Networks  Oy  (the
"Offeror"),  a  wholly-owned  indirect  subsidiary  of Nokia Corporation, has on
February 27, 2017 commenced a voluntary public cash tender offer to purchase all
of  the shares and option rights  issued by Comptel Corporation ("Comptel") that
are not owned by Comptel or any of its subsidiaries (the "Tender Offer").

The  completion of  the Tender  Offer is  subject to  the satisfaction or, where
permitted,  waiver of the conditions  to completion set out  in the tender offer
document, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.

According  to an announcement  made today by  Nokia, the Offeror  has today been
informed  that Nokia has  received all necessary  competition clearances for the
completion  of  the  Tender  Offer.  As  the  Offeror  is not aware of any other
regulatory  approvals  that  are  necessary  to  complete  the Tender Offer, the
condition  to completion concerning the receipt  of necessary approvals has thus
been satisfied.

The  completion of the Tender Offer is  still subject to the other conditions to
completion set out in the tender offer document.

The  offer period  under the  Tender Offer  expires on March 29, 2017, unless it
will  be extended  in accordance  with the  terms and  conditions of  the Tender
Offer.
