chairman of the Board of Directors.                                             

The Authorized Public Accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy was re-elected as   
the auditor of the company, with Henrik Sormunen as the accountant with the main
responsibility.                  

The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to         
authorize the Board of Directors to decide upon the issuing of in total         
5,500,000 shares in one or more tranches as share issues against payment or by  
giving stock options or other special rights defined in Chapter 10 Section 1 of 
the Finnish Companies Act, which entitle to shares either according to the      
shareholders' pre-emptive right to share subscription or deviating from this    
right. The authorization will be valid until the next Annual General Meeting,   
but will expire on June 30th 2010 at the latest.                                

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide upon     
acquiring a maximum of 2,000,000 of the company's own shares in one or more     
tranches, which amount corresponds approximately to seven (7) per cent of all   
shares of the company. The compensation to be paid for the acquired shares shall
be determined on the date of acquisition on the basis of a trading rate         
determined for the company's share in a public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX   
Helsinki Ltd. The authorization to acquire the shares shall be valid at most for
eighteen (18) months after the decision of the Annual General Meeting.
