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.

Final results of the tender offer: Nokia Solutions and Networks completes the
offer with a holding exceeding 90% of all Comptel shares and votes and opens a
subsequent offer period

Espoo, Finland - The offer period under the recommended public cash tender offer
by Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy (the "Offeror"), a wholly-owned indirect
subsidiary of Nokia Corporation, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding
shares and option rights of Comptel Corporation ("Comptel") that are not owned
by Comptel or any of its subsidiaries (the "Tender Offer") expired on March
29, 2017.

According to the final results of the Tender Offer, the shares tendered in the
Tender Offer, together with Comptel shares acquired by the Offeror through
market purchases, represent approximately 90.51% of all the shares and votes in
Comptel (excluding the treasury shares held by Comptel) and approximately
85.30% of all the shares and votes of Comptel on a fully diluted basis as
defined in the offer document for the Tender Offer. In addition, 89.34% of
Comptel's 2014 option rights and all of Comptel's 2015 option rights have been
tendered in the Tender Offer. Consequently, as the Offeror's ownership in
Comptel exceeds nine-tenths (9/10) of the shares and voting rights in Comptel,
the Offeror is entitled to redeem the remaining Comptel shares under the Finnish
Limited Liability Companies Act.

According to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the completion of the
Tender Offer is subject to more than 90% of all the shares in Comptel, together
with any other Comptel shares acquired by the Offeror or Nokia Corporation, on a
fully diluted basis (as defined in the offer document for the Tender Offer),
having been tendered in the Tender Offer (the "Minimum Acceptance Condition").
As the Offeror's holding will not exceed the fully diluted 90% threshold as
defined in the Minimum Acceptance Condition, the Offeror has decided to waive
the Minimum Acceptance Condition. As the Minimum Acceptance Condition has been
waived and all other conditions to completion are satisfied, the Offeror will
complete the Tender Offer in accordance with its terms and conditions. The
completion trades will be settled and the offer consideration will be paid to
the shareholders and holders of option rights who have validly accepted the
Tender Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer on
or about April 6, 2017.

In order to allow the remaining shareholders and holders of option rights the
possibility to still accept the Tender Offer, the Offeror has decided to extend
the offer period by a subsequent offer period in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Tender Offer (the "Subsequent Offer Period"). The Subsequent
Offer Period will commence on April 4, 2017 and expire on April 19, 2017. During
the Subsequent Offer Period, the Tender Offer can be accepted in accordance with
the acceptance procedure described in the terms and conditions of the Tender
Offer. The acceptance will be binding and cannot be withdrawn. Further
instructions can be obtained from any branch office of Nordea Bank AB (publ),
Finnish branch.

The Offeror will announce the preliminary percentage of the shares and option
rights validly tendered during the Subsequent Offer Period on or about April
20, 2017 and the final percentage on or about April 24, 2017. The offer
consideration for the shares and option rights validly tendered during the
Subsequent Offer Period will be paid to the shareholders and holders of option
rights on or about April 27, 2017 in accordance with the payment procedures
described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

It is the Offeror's intention to acquire all the shares and option rights in
Comptel. As the Offeror's ownership in Comptel exceeds nine-tenths (9/10) of the
shares and voting rights in Comptel after the settlement of the shares tendered
in the Tender Offer, the Offeror intends to initiate compulsory redemption
proceedings for the remaining Comptel shares under the Finnish Limited Liability
Companies Act as well as the redemption of the remaining option rights in
accordance with their terms and conditions.

The Offeror or Nokia Oyj may purchase shares and option rights in Comptel also
in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki or otherwise at a price not exceeding the
offer price of EUR 3.04 per share and at a price not exceeding the offer price
for the option rights as follows: EUR 2.56 for each 2014A option right, EUR
2.16 for each 2014B option right and EUR 1.53 for each 2014C option right.
