The remuneration of auditors

9                                                                               
Election of auditors and deputy auditor                                         

The board of directors proposes, on the recommendation of the audit committee,  
that APA Tomi Englund and the firm of authorized public accountants Ernst &
Young Oy, which has appointed APA Erkka Talvinko as responsible auditor, to be  
appointed as auditors to serve for a term ending at the end of the next annual  
general meeting. The auditors proposed herein have given their consent for the  
election.                                                                       

10                                                                              
Authorization of the board of directors to decide on the acquisition of own     
shares                                                                          

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorize the board of 
directors to decide on the acquisition of own shares as follows:                

A maximum of 3,066,000 shares can be acquired in one or several tranches. The   
company, together with its subsidiaries, cannot at any time own more than 10 per
cent of all its registered shares.                                              

The shares are to be acquired in public trading and such acquisition will       
therefore be carried out as a directed acquisition, i.e., not in proportion to  
the holdings of the current shareholders. The acquisitions of own shares will be
carried out through the OMX Nordic Exchange (Helsinki) and in compliance with   
its rules and guidelines. The consideration paid for own shares acquired must be
based on the share's price as it is quoted in public trading. The minimum       
consideration thus corresponds to the lowest price quoted for the share in      
public trading and the maximum consideration, correspondingly, to the highest   
price quoted for it within the validity period of this authorization.           

The board of directors decides on other terms for the acquisition of the        
company's own shares. Derivatives may be used in the acquisition of own shares, 
inter alia.                                                                     

Own shares may be acquired using the company's unrestricted equity only.        
Therefore, the acquisition of own shares reduces the company's distributable    
unrestricted equity.                                                            

The authorization is proposed to be in force until the next annual general      
meeting, however not later than until 23 September 2009.                        

11                                                                              
Authorization of the board of directors to decide on transfer of treasury shares

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorize the board of 
directors to decide on the transfer of own shares as follows:                   

Under the authorization, a maximum of 3,066,000 shares can be transferred. The  
treasury shares may be transferred in one or several tranches. The board of     
directors decides on other terms for the transfer of the company's treasury     
shares.                                                                         

The transfer of the treasury shares may be carried out in deviation from the    
shareholders' pre-emptive right (directed share issue), provided that there is  
weighty financial reason for the company to do so. The board of directors can   
act on this authorization in order to grant option rights and special rights    
entitling to shares, pursuant to Chapter 10(1) of the Companies Act. However,   
under this authorization, the board of directors is not authorized to resolve   
upon the personnel option plan.                                                 

The authorization is proposed to be in force until the next annual general      
meeting, however not later than until 23 September 2009.                        

12                                                                              
Authorization of the board of directors to decide on share issue and option     
rights and other special rights entitling to shares                             

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorize the board to 
decide on share issue and option rights, convertible bonds and other special    
rights entitling to shares, pursuant to Chapter 10(1) of the Companies Act as   
follows:                                                                        

Under the authorization a maximum of 6,132,000 new shares of the company can be 
issued. The shares or special rights entitling to shares can be issued in one or
more tranches.                                                                  

Under the authorization, the board of directors may resolve upon issuing new    
shares to the company itself. However, the company, together with its           
subsidiaries, cannot at any time own more than 10 per cent of all its registered
shares. The shares issued to the company itself can, among other things, be     
transferred under the authorization of the board of directors to decide on      
transfer of treasury shares.                                                    

The board of directors is authorized to resolve on all terms for the share issue
and granting of the special rights entitling to shares. However, under this     
authorization, the board of directors is not authorized to resolve upon the     
personnel option plan. Based on this authorization, the board of directors is   
authorized to resolve on a directed share issue in deviation from the           
shareholders' pre-emptive right and on the granting of special rights, provided 
that there is weighty financial reason for the company to do so.                

The authorization is proposed to be in force until the next annual general      
meeting, however not later than until 23 September 2009.
