Pohjola Bank plc Interim Report for 1 January-31 March 2010                     

January-March                                                                   

- Year on year, consolidated earnings before tax improved markedly to EUR 59    
million (36). Earnings include EUR 33 million (21) in impairment charges on     
receivables.                                                                    
- Earnings before tax at fair value amounted to EUR 119 million (41) and return 
on equity at fair value stood at 15.9% (7.2).                                   
- Banking posted earnings before tax of EUR 26 million (50), with impairment    
charges on receivables affecting its earnings by EUR 33 million (12).           
- Non-life Insurance's operating combined ratio stood at 95.5% (91.3). Within   
Non-life Insurance, return on investments at fair value rose to 3.2% (-0.4).    
- Asset Management more than doubled its earnings before tax to EUR 6 million   
(2). Assets under management grew by 6% from the end of 2009 to EUR 34.9 billion
(33.1).                                                                         
- Capital gains on notes and bonds improved earnings before tax posted by the   
Group Functions.                 
- Outlook: Enabled by the economic recovery, impairment charges are expected to 
remain lower than a year ago. Consolidated earnings before tax in 2010 are      
expected to be at the same level as in 2009.

1) Comparatives deriving from the income statement are based on figures reported
for the corresponding period a year ago. Unless otherwise specified,            
balance-sheet and other cross-sectional figures on 31 December 2009 are used as 
comparatives.                                                                   

President and CEO Mikael Silvennoinen:                                          "Pohjola Group's financial performance in the first quarter was better than a   
year ago. Net interest income, net commissions and fees and net investment      
income developed favourably, with the result that earnings before impairments on
receivables improved by almost 60%. Our impairment charges on receivables were  
higher than a year ago but it would seem that their growth has come to a halt as
a result of the economic recovery underway. Developments in capital markets     
remained favourable, which contributed to markedly better earnings before tax at
fair value than the year before.                                                

During the first quarter, the loan and guarantee portfolio began to increase    
slightly although capital spending and demand for corporate loans are still low.
In line with our expectations, the average corporate loan margin rose further   
although the margin on new loans took a turn downwards. Higher impairment       
charges year on year and the normalisation of the Markets division's financial  
performance weakened Banking earnings from their previous year's level.         

Non-life Insurance recorded a good balance on technical account although the    
extraordinarily bad winter weather conditions increased the number of losses    
reported by policyholders by 35% within motor liability and motor vehicle       
insurance. Growth in insurance premium revenue remained strong among private    
customers, whereas insurance premium revenue from corporate customers decreased,
especially when it comes to statutory workers' compensation insurance. Non-life 
Insurance return on investments at fair value developed favourably.             

Asset Management reported growth in assets under management and more than       
doubled its year-on-year earnings before tax.                

Recovery in the operating environment is underway but uncertainties still       
linger. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the European Commission  
are currently working on amendments to the financial regulatory framework. The  
proposed changes in regulations are significant and, if implemented as such, may
have a detrimental effect on our customers and the economic recover underway.  A
lot of comments have been issued on the proposed regulations and the effects of 
these changes are currently being reviewed.                                     
Thanks to our solid capital base and strong market position, we will have       
excellent opportunities to continue to implement our strategy systematically."


Operating environment                                                           

The world economy continued its gradual but uneven recovery in the first quarter
of 2010. According to US economic indicators, growth has continued apace and the
labour market is already stabilising. In Europe, on the other hand, recovery has
been slower, with the upswing largely hinging on exports, while the emerging    
markets especially in Asia, spearheaded by China, are recovering at a high rate.

The Finnish economic recovery proceeded in the first quarter, with both         
businesses and consumers showing improved confidence. Strong consumer confidence
is witnessed by higher consumer spending and the lively housing market. Revival 
of the world economy and the Finnish export markets has not yet been reflected  
in higher export volumes. Capital spending was still low, because there was     
still much idle production capacity. However, housing construction has a        
brighter outlook.                                                               

Central banks' benchmark interest rates remained exceptionally low during the   
first quarter. The ECB is not probably expected to raise its key interest rates 
until the end of 2010 at the earliest. Euribor rates were record low. The ECB   
has gradually begun its exit from extraordinary measures supporting the banking 
system's liquidity, which will be reflected in higher short-term market rates in
the euro area.                                                                  

In Finland, the growth rate of the loan portfolio accelerated slightly in the   
first quarter of 2010, and the downward trend in the corporate loan portfolio   
prevailing throughout 2009 came to an end in the first view months of the       
current year.                                                                   

Yield performance in corporate bond markets remained favourable, as risk        
premiums continued to fall further. The number of issues launched remained low, 
with the exception of the banking sector. Concerns about widening budget        
deficits and mounting national debt raised country risks and widened credit     
spreads, especially for some small peripheral economies of the EU. Greece's     
fiscal problems were also reflected in the rest of the euro area and weakened   
the euro in the currency market. The emergency loan package provided to Greece  
by the EU and the IMF is aimed at restoring confidence to the market.           

Equity markets remained buoyant in the first quarter, with the equity market in 
Finland showing a markedly stronger performance on average than in the rest of  
Europe. This improvement has been supported by higher profit expectations,      
stronger leading economic indicators and views that interest rates will continue
to remain low for a long time.                                                  

Growth in Non-life Insurance premiums written remained tepid in Q1 and claims   
incurred increased at a slightly faster rate. Challenging winter conditions were
reflected in an unusually large number of claims.

January-March earnings                                                          

Earnings before tax came to EUR 59 million (36), showing a year-on-year         
improvement of EUR 22 million.                                                  

Earnings before impairment charges on receivables totalled EUR 92 million (57), 
or EUR 34 million higher than a year ago. Impairments of receivables rose by EUR
12 million year on year to EUR 33 million (21).                                 

Earnings before tax at fair value amounted to EUR 119 million (41).             

Total income increased by 20% to EUR 215 million (179) and expenses by 1% to EUR
123 million (122).                                                              

Net interest income came to EUR 60 million (52), up by 16% year on year. A rise 
in the average margin on corporate loans contributed to higher net interest     
income from Corporate Banking.                                                  

Net commissions and fees amounted to EUR 40 million, or EUR 10 million and 32%  
higher than a year ago, asset management, securities issuance and brokerage     
showing a considerable increase in commissions and fees.                        

Net trading income fell to EUR 7 million (25). With markets getting back to     
normal, income from trading decreased from the exceptionally high level a year  
ago.                                                                            

Net investment income totalled EUR 18 million (-9), the figure including capital
gains of EUR 19 million recognised on the notes and bonds within the liquidity  
portfolio. Impairment charges on equities and adjustments for real property     
acquisition costs reduced net investment income a year ago.                     

Net income from Non-life Insurance rose by EUR 9 million to EUR 79 million (70),
as a result of growth in net investment income.                                 

Expenses rose by 1% to EUR 123 million (122). Personnel costs increased by EUR 2
million. The number of Group employees increased by 33 from 31 December 2009.   

The fair value reserve before tax grew by EUR 61 million (4) and impairments    
recognised from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 20  
million. On 31 March, the fair value reserve after tax stood at EUR 45 million, 
as against EUR 0 million on 31 December 2009.                                   


Group risk exposure                                                             

The Group's risk exposure remained favourable. Impairment charges in the first  
quarter were at the same level as in the previous quarter. Investment-grade     
exposures remained high. Creditworthiness among corporate customers did not     
undergo any major changes and, despite their slight growth, doubtful receivables
remained low relative to the loan and guarantee portfolio.                      

The financial and liquidity position remained strong. Both short-term and       
long-term funding performed well. Pohjola strengthened its financial position by
issuing two senior bonds with a maturity of three and five years and each worth 
EUR 750 million.                                                                
Pohjola Bank plc maintains OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity portfolio which mainly  
consists of notes and bonds eligible as collateral for central bank refinancing.
The liquidity portfolio totalled EUR 12.0 billion (11.7) on 31 March 2010. This 
liquidity portfolio plus other items included in OP-Pohjola Group's balance     
sheet and eligible for central bank refinancing constitute the total liquidity  
buffer, which can be used to cover OP-Pohjola Group's wholesale funding         
maturities for some 24 months.                                                  

Determining the value of the available-for-sale financial assets at fair value  
through profit or loss and included in the liquidity portfolio is based on      
mark-to-market valuations. Pohjola did not recognise any impairment charges on  
the liquidity portfolio during the first quarter. Pohjola kept market risks     
moderate during the period.                                                     

Net loan losses and impairment losses recognised for the reporting period       
reduced earnings by EUR 33 million (21), accounting for 0.24% (0.15) of the loan
and guarantee portfolio. Final loan losses recognised for the period totalled   
EUR 25 million (1) and impairment charges EUR 41 million (22). Loan loss        
recoveries and allowances for impairments totalled EUR 32 million (2). The      
majority of the impairments were those recognised on an individual basis.       

Doubtful receivables increased by EUR 27 million to EUR 71 million in the first 
quarter, accounting for 0.51% (0.32) of the loan and guarantee portfolio. Past  
due payments came to EUR 15 million (70), representing 0.11% (0.51) of the loan 
and guarantee portfolio.                                                        

Despite the slight economic recovery, some of our corporate customers still face
a challenging operating environment. The greatest uncertainty related to the    
Group's risk exposure is associated with future impairment charges on the loan  
portfolio.                                                                      


Capital adequacy                                                                

The capital adequacy ratio improved, standing at 13.6% (13.5) as against the    
statutory minimum requirement of 8%. Tier 1 ratio was 12.1% (11.8). Pohjola     
Group's Tier 1 target ratio stands at a minimum 9.5% over the economic cycle.   

Tier 1 capital came to EUR 1,575 million (1,541) and the total capital base     
amounted to EUR 1,780 million                                                   
(1,753). Hybrid capital accounted for EUR 274 million of Tier 1 capital. The    
minimum regulatory capital requirement to cover credit risk amounted to EUR 938 
million (957), that to cover market risk EUR 46 million (36) and that to cover  
operational risks EUR 61 million (49).                                          

On 31 March 2010, risk-weighted assets totalled EUR 13,059 million, as against  
EUR 13,024 million on 31 December 2009.                                         

Pohjola Group belongs to OP-Pohjola Group whose capital adequacy is supervised  
in accordance with the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance        
Conglomerates. Pohjola Group's capital adequacy ratio under the Act, measured   
using the consolidation method, stood at 1.77 (1.73).  Accordingly, the capital 
base totalled EUR 2,158 million (2,103) and the minimum capital requirement EUR 
1,221 million (1,213), i.e. the total capital base exceeded the minimum         
regulatory requirement by EUR 937 million (890).                                

As a result of the financial crisis, the regulatory framework for banks' capital
requirements is becoming more rigorous in an effort to improve the quality of   
their capital base and reduce the cyclic nature of capital requirements and set 
quantitative limits to liquidity risk. These changes are only in their          
preparation stage, planned to be effective in 2012, and it is too early to      
predict precisely what their effects will be.                                   

The Committee of European Banking Supervisors carried out an impact analysis in 
all the member states concerning the overall effects of the proposed changes.   
The changes, if implemented, may present major challenges to the sector and slow
down economic growth. As part of OP-Pohjola Group, Pohjola Group was involved in
presenting comments on the draft directive and the impact analysis. However,    
Pohjola Group's and OP-Pohjola Group's strong capital base and liquidity        
position provide a solid protection against even major legislative amendments.  



Credit ratings                                                                  

Pohjola Bank plc's credit ratings remained unchanged, as follows:               

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Rating agency             | Short-term debt        | Long-term debt          |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Standard & Poor's         | A-1+                   | AA-                     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Moody's                   | P-1                    | Aa2                     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Fitch                     | F1+                    | AA-                     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pohjola's credit rating outlook issued by Standard & Poor's is stable. Fitch    
Rating has issued a negative outlook for the long-term debt ratings of Pohjola  
and Moody's Investor Service has affirmed negative outlook on Pohjola's credit  
rating.                                                                         

The main reason for the negative outlook is the rapid deterioration of the      
Finnish economy and its potential effects on Pohjola and OP-Pohjola Group mainly
operating in Finland.

January-March earnings                                                          

Banking posted earnings before tax of EUR 26 million (50), with impairment      
charges on receivables burdening earnings by EUR 33 million. As a result of the 
economic recession, capital spending among corporate customers was tepid, which 
slowed down demand for loans. The loan portfolio grew by EUR 0.2 billion from   
its year-end level, or by 2%, to EUR 10.9 billion. Committed standby credit     
facilities increased by EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 3 billion. The guarantee         
portfolio remained at the year-end level, EUR 2.6 billion, but shrank by EUR 0.2
billion year on year.                                                           
Despite fiercer competition in the market, the average corporate loan portfolio 
margin rose by 6 basis points from the year-start level. Net interest income    
from Corporate Banking rose by 26%, thanks to a rise in the average margin,     
although the loan portfolio saw a slight decrease year on year.                 

Net commissions and fees were one quarter higher than a year ago. Commission    
income from loans dropped by one million euros while that from guarantees       
increased by the same amount. Net commissions from securities issuance rose by  
EUR 3 million and those from securities brokerage by almost EUR 2 million.      

The Markets division's earnings performance normalised from its exceptionally   
high level a year ago. The division's combined net interest income and net      
trading income fell by 44% to EUR 19 million year on year.                      

The cost/income ratio remained good, standing at 35%. Total expenses were on a  
par with those in the previous year.                                            

Risk exposure by Banking                                                        

Within Banking, key risks are associated with credit risk arising from customer 
business, and market risks.                                                     

During January-March, total exposure increased by EUR 0.4 billion to EUR 21.4   
billion. The ratio of investment-grade exposure - that is, ratings 1-5 - to     
total exposure, excluding households, remained at a healthy level, standing at  
66% (64). The share of ratings 11-12 was 2.0% (1.6) and that of non-rated       
exposure 0.8% (0.8).                                                            

Corporate exposure (including housing corporations) accounted for 76% (78) of   
total exposure within Banking. Of corporate exposure, the share of              
investment-grade exposure stood at 59% (57) and the exposure of the lowest two  
rating categories amounted to EUR 418 million (321), accounting for 2.6% (2.0)  
of the total corporate exposure.                                                

Significant customer exposure totalled EUR 3.2 billion (2.9). The distribution  
of corporate exposure by industry remained highly diversified and none of the   
industries represented over 12% of corporate exposure on 31 March 2010. The most
significant industries included Letting and Operation of Dwellings representing 
12.0% (11.2), Manufacture of Machinery and Equipment 9.8% (9.7) and Trade 9.5%  
(10.9).                                                                         

Net loan losses and impairment charges within Banking came to EUR 33 million    
(12), accounting for 0.24% (0.15) of the loan and guarantee portfolio.          

On 31 March 2010, Baltic Banking exposures totalled EUR 82 million, accounting  
for less than 1% of the loan and guarantee portfolio. The Baltic Banking net    
loan losses and impairment charges for the reporting period amounted to EUR 0.6 
million, comprising mainly impairments on receivables assessed on a collective  
basis.                                                                          

Interest rate risk exposure averaged EUR 1.3 million (6.7), based on the        
1-percentage-point change in the interest rate.                                 



Non-life Insurance                                                              

- Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 6 million (-1). Earnings before tax at    
fair value improved to EUR 75 million (1).                                      
- The balance on technical account remained on a sound basis although the bad   
winter weather conditions increased the number of losses reported by            
policyholders. The operating combined ratio stood at 95.5% (91.3).              
- Insurance premium revenue declined by 1% as a result of lower premium revenue 
shown by statutory workers' compensation insurance. Growth in insurance premium 
revenue remained vigorous within Private Customers.                             
- The number of losses reported by policyholders within motor liability and     
motor vehicle insurance increased by 35% due to bad winter conditions.          
- Return on investments at fair value was 3.2% (-0.4).

January-March earnings                                                          

Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 6 million (-1). Earnings before tax at fair 
value improved by EUR 75 million.                                               

Profitability remained good. The recession continued to affect the corporate    
sector considerably, reducing insurance premiums paid by corporate customers.   
The past winter's weather led to bad road conditions, which significantly       
increased the number of losses reported by policyholder within motor liability  
and motor vehicle insurance.                                                    

The balance on technical account before amortisation on intangible assets stood 
at EUR 10 million (20). Favourable developments in the capital market were      
reflected in investment performance. Net investment income amounted to EUR 16   
million (-2) and net investment income at fair value reached EUR 85 million     
(-1).                                                                           

The number of loyal customer non-life insurance households totalled 433,394 on  
31 March, 55% of whom also use OP-Pohjola Group member banks as their main bank.
OP-Pohjola Group member banks' and Helsinki OP Bank's customers can use their OP
bonuses earned through banking transactions to pay Pohjola non-life insurance   
premiums. During January-March, OP bonuses were used to pay over 264,000        
insurance premiums, with 47,000 paid in full using bonuses. Insurance premiums  
paid using bonuses totalled EUR 13 million. In 2005, Pohjola set a target of    
achieving annual revenue synergies of EUR 17 million by the end of 2010,        
resulting from growth in the number of loyal customer households, which Pohjola 
already achieved in March.                                                      

Insurance business                                                              

First-quarter profitability was in line with expectations. The operating        
combined ratio, excluding amortisation on intangible assets arising from the    
corporate acquisition, stood at 95.5% (91.3%). Profitability a year ago was     
exceptionally good, considering that it tends to be weaker in the first quarter 
than in the other quarters.                                                     

The recession continued to affect the corporate sector considerably, reducing   
insurance premiums based on companies' payroll bills, net sales and operating   
profit, with the result that insurance premiums were down within Corporate      
Customers and the Baltic States. However, growth remained vigorous within       
Private Customers. Insurance premium revenue totalled EUR 227 million (231).    

Within Private Customers, insurance premium revenue rose by 9% to EUR 107       
million (98). The number of loyal customer households grew by 8,680 (5,925)     
during the reporting period. OP-Pohjola Group member banks continued to         
strengthen their role as the largest sales channel for policies among private   
customers, as evidenced by an increase of 11% in their insurance policy sales.  
OP-Pohjola Group member banks already account for more than one-third of        
policies sold to private customers and the majority of new loyal customer       
households come through them.                                                   

Within Corporate Customers, insurance premium revenue decreased by 8% to EUR 109
million (118), due mainly to statutory workers' compensation insurance premiums 
which dropped by EUR 7 million, or by 16%. Pohjola reduced the level of premiums
for 2010 within statutory workers' compensation insurance. As a result of the   
recession, payroll bills which determine insurance premiums continued their     
downward trend. This fall was intensified by the fact that the impact of the    
recession on premium revenue was not felt until the following quarters.         

In the Baltic States, insurance premium revenue decreased by 17% to EUR 12      
million (15). The economic recession has strongly affected the insurance market 
in the Baltic region with the result that the total market in the region shrank 
by over one quarter during the reporting period.                                

Claims incurred rose due to growth in the private customer insurance portfolio  
and losses reported by policyholders within motor liability and motor vehicle   
insurance. The number of such reported losses increased by 35% due to unusually 
bad winter weather conditions in Southern Finland. Claims incurred increased to 
EUR 168 million (160), or by 5%. The loss ratio deteriorated to 73.7% (69.5) and
the risk ratio (excl. loss adjustment expenses) stood at 66.4% (62.7). The      
reported number of major or medium-sized losses (in excess of EUR 0.1 million   
and over EUR 0.5 million in pension liabilities) came to 51 (50) in             
January-March, with their claims incurred retained for own account totalling EUR
26 million (22).                                                                

Operating expenses remained at the previous year's level, coming to EUR 50      
million (50). The expense ratio was 21.8% (21.8). The cost ratio (incl. loss    
adjustment expenses) stood at 29.1% (28.7).                                     

The operating balance on technical account within Private Customers decreased to
EUR 5 million (9) due to higher claims incurred resulting from motor liability  
and motor vehicle insurance claims. Similarly, the operating balance on         
technical account within Corporate Customers fell to EUR 5 million (10) due     
mainly to lower insurance premium revenue from statutory workers' compensation  
insurance. The balance on technical account recorded by the Baltic States stood 
at EUR 0.2 million (1).                                                         

Investment                                                                      

Return on investments at fair value stood at 3.2% (-0.4). Net investment income 
recognised in the income statement amounted to EUR 16 million (-2) and net      
investment income at fair value reached EUR 85 million. Impairment charges      
recognised from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 16  
million.                                                                        

On 31 March 2010, the investment portfolio totalled EUR 3,002 million (2,851),  
bonds and bond funds accounting for 73% (76) and listed equities for 11% (10).  
Unlisted equity investments plus the aforementioned equities represented a total
of 16% (13). The fixed-income portfolio by credit rating remained healthy,      
considering that investments under the "investment-grade" represented 91% (94)  
and 74% of the investments were rated at least A-. The average residual maturity
of the fixed-income portfolio was 5.1 years and the duration 3.6 years (3.4).   
The Non-life Insurance fixed-income portfolio had a total of EUR 57 million in  
Greek government notes and bonds.                                               

Risk exposure by Non-life Insurance                                             

Major risks within Non-life Insurance include underwriting risks associated with
claims developments and market risks associated with investment portfolios      
covering technical provisions.                                                  

Non-life Insurance solvency capital increased as a result of good investment    
performance, standing at EUR 852 million (827) on 31 March. The ratio of        
solvency capital to insurance premium revenue (solvency ratio) was 91% (88).    
Equalisation provisions decreased to EUR 411 million (417).                     

Pohjola Insurance Ltd's credit rating has remained unchanged: A2 by Moody's and 
A+ by Standard & Poor's.                                                        

Equity risks rose due to changes in allocation and favourable market            
developments in equity investments. Pohjola maintained its interest-rate        
exposure lower than the long-term target.                                       


Asset Management                                                                

- Earnings before tax improved to EUR 6 million (2) as a result of growth in    
assets under management.                                                        
- Assets under management increased by 6% to EUR 34.9 billion (33.1) from their 
end-2009 level.                                                                 
- Operating cost/income ratio improved to 54% (68).

Year on year, assets under management increased by 40%, standing at EUR 34.9

favourable market developments during the first quarter contributed to this

the assets under management, institutional clients accounted for EUR 20.2       
billion (19.2), OP mutual funds for EUR 12.0 billion (11.4) and Pohjola Private 
for EUR 2.8 billion (2.5).

- Earnings before tax amounted to EUR 22 million (-14). Capital gains on notes

January-March earnings                                                          

Earnings before tax were EUR 22 million, as against a loss of EUR 14 million    
reported a year ago.                                                            

Successful investment operations within the liquidity portfolio contributed to  
improved net interest income.                                                   

Net investment income includes EUR 19 million in capital gains on notes and     
bonds. Impairments recognised on shares and participations included in          
available-for-sale financial assets totalled EUR 3 million (4), while a year ago
impairments recognised on bonds totalled EUR 9 million.                         

Liquidity and the availability of funding remained good. Debt instruments issued
to the public remained at the previous year's level.                            

During the reporting period, Pohjola issued two senior bonds in international   
capital markets with a maturity of three and five years and each worth EUR 750  
million Costs of new funding are higher than those of matured long-term debt.   

Pohjola Bank plc's net receivables from OP-Pohjola Group retails banks and      
entities increased to EUR 607 million. The Q1/2009 showed a negative net        
position of EUR 176 million.                                                    

Risk exposure by Group Functions                                                

Major risks within the Group Functions include those associated with the fair   
value change of assets included in the liquidity portfolio, and liquidity risks.

The Group Functions exposure totalled EUR 19.5 billion (18.3), consisting of    
assets in the liquidity portfolio and receivables from OP-Pohjola Group member  
banks. Almost all of the exposure was based on investment-grade counterparties. 

The Group Functions maintains the liquidity portfolio in order to secure        
OP-Pohjola Group's liquidity. The liquidity portfolio amounted to EUR 12.0      
billion (11.7), comprising primarily investments in notes and bonds issued by   
governments, municipalities, financial institutions and companies all showing   
good credit ratings, and in securitised assets. The liquidity portfolio had a   
total of EUR 21 million in Greek government notes and bonds.                    

Interest rate risk exposure averaged EUR 9.6 million (12.8) in the first        
quarter, based on the 1-percentage-point change in the interest rate.

The Board of Directors assessed the independence of its members and concluded   
that Jukka Hienonen, Satu Lähteenmäki and Tom von Weymarn are non-executive

Shares and shareholders                                                         

On 31 March 2010, the number of Pohjola Bank plc shares totalled 319,551,415 and
votes conferred by the shares 593,178,315. On the same date, the number of      
Series A shares listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd totalled 251,144,690,         
representing 78.6% of all Pohjola shares and 42.3% of all votes. The number of  
unlisted Series K shares totalled 68,406,725.                                   

On 31 March 2010, one Series A share closed at EUR 8.32, as against EUR 7.55 at

reached a high of EUR 8.94 (17 March 2010) and a low of EUR 7.14 (5 February    
2010).                                                                          

During the reporting period, share trading increased in terms of both value and 
volume. The share trading value amounted to EUR 336,793,725, as against EUR     
291,098,003 the year before, and volume to 42.3 shares (40.7).                  

On 31 March, Pohjola Bank plc had 36,609 shareholders, down by 391 from the

shareholders. The largest shareholder was OP-Pohjola Group Central Cooperative, 
representing 29.98% of all shares and 57.04% of all votes. The proportion of    
nominee registered shares of Series A shares rose slightly from 31 December 2009
(15.6%), accounting for 16.5% on 31 March 2010.                                 


Group restructuring                                                             

On 1 March 2010, Pohjola Bank plc sold its Seesam non-life insurers to its      
subsidiary Pohjola Insurance Ltd in order to streamline the corporate structure.
This had no effect on the Group's financial results.         


Outlook towards the year end                                                    

The economic recovery underway should gradually be reflected in demand for      
corporate loans and enable subtle growth in the corporate loan portfolio, with  
demand for corporate financing focusing on working capital and the refinancing  
of existing loans. It is estimated that the rise in the average margin on the   
corporate loan portfolio will slow down and the margin on new loans will take a 
turn downwards. Given that the business environment is still challenging for    
companies, it is estimated that impairment charges will remain higher than      
usual. Enabled by the economic recovery, impairment charges are, however,       
expected to remain lower than a year ago. The greatest uncertainties related to 
Banking's financial performance in 2010 are associated with impairment charges  
on the loan portfolio.                                                          

Insurance premium revenue is expected to continue to increase at an             
above-the-market-average rate among private customers.                          

The downward trend in insurance premium revenue from corporate customers is     
expected to slow down during the rest of the year. In Non-life Insurance, the   
operating combined ratio is estimated to vary between 89% and 94% in 2010 if the
number of large claims is not much higher than in 2009. Expected long-term      
returns on investment within Non-life Insurance stand at 5.4%. Returns will     
largely depend on developments in the investment environment. The most          
significant uncertainties related to Non-life Insurance's financial performance 
in 2010 pertain to the investment environment and the effect of large claims on 
claims expenditure.                                                             

Within Asset Management, the upward trend in assets under management is expected
to continue, their amounts being affected by market developments and the net  
inflow of assets. The greatest uncertainties related to Asset Management's      
financial performance in 2010 are associated with the actual performance-based  
fees tied to the success of investments and the amount of assets under          
management.                                                                     

The key determinants affecting the Group Functions' result include net interest 
income arising from assets in the liquidity portfolio and any impairment charges
recognised on notes and bonds in the income statement.                          

Consolidated earnings before tax in 2010 are expected to be at the same level as
in 2009.                                                                        

When it comes to the outlook for 2010, the greatest uncertainty is related to   
developments in impairment charges, large claims and the investment environment.
There is still great uncertainty about future economic development and the      
overall operating environment, and these factors are beyond the Group           
management's control.                                                           

All forward-looking statements in this report expressing the management's       
expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions are    
based on the current view of the future development in the operating environment
and the future financial performance of Pohjola Group and its various functions,
and actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the            
forward-looking statements.

The negative fair value reserve may recover by means of asset appreciation and  
recognised impairments. Only the value changes in the fair value reserve are    
recognised which the management deem to fulfil the relevant requirements.       

The fair value reserve before tax totalled EUR 60 million (-0) and the related  
deferred tax liability amounted to EUR 15 million (deferred tax asset of 0). On 
31 March 2010, positive mark-to-market valuations of equity instruments before  
tax in the fair value reserve totalled EUR 71 million and negative              
mark-to-market valuations EUR 39 million. In Q1/2010, impairments recognised    
from the fair value reserve in the income statement totalled EUR 20 million.
