Issuance of shares under Performance Share Plan 2006                            

Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced today that Nokia Board of Directors has        
approved Nokia Equity Program 2009, which, following previous years' practice,  
has the below structure:                                                        

- Performance Shares - offered as the main equity-based incentive to            
approximately 6 500 employees;                                                  
- Stock options - used on a limited basis for senior managers;                  
- Restricted Shares - only a small number granted to high potential and critical
employees.                                                                      

The Equity Program 2009 will focus on rewarding achievement and retaining       
critical talent, like Nokia equity programs of previous years.  Similarly it    
intends to align the potential value received by the participants directly with 
the long-term performance of the company, thus aligning the participants'  
interests also with the shareholders' interests.                                

Under Nokia Performance Share Plan 2009, Nokia shares will be delivered provided
that the Company's performance reaches at least one of the required threshold   
levels measured by two independent performance criteria. The performance        
criteria are as follows:                                                        

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Performance Share Plan 2009 has a three year performance period 2009-2011.  

The grant of Performance Shares in 2009 may result in an aggregate maximum      
payout of 18 million Nokia shares, should the maximum level for both performance
criteria be met.                                                                

As part of Nokia Equity Program 2009, stock options will be granted under Nokia 
Stock Option Plan 2007 approved by the Annual General Meeting 2007. The total   
size of Nokia Stock Option Plan 2007 is 20 million stock options, which can be  
granted during 2007 - 2010. The grant in 2009 is planned to be maximum 7 million
stock options.                                                                  
Restricted Shares under Nokia Equity Program 2009 will have a three-year        
restriction period and the shares will be delivered mainly in 2012. The grant of
Restricted Shares in 2009 may result in an aggregate maximum payout of 5 million
Nokia shares.                                                                   
As of December 31, 2008, the total maximum dilution effect of Nokia's equity    
incentives currently outstanding, assuming that the performance shares are      
delivered at maximum level, is approximately 2.0 per cent. The potential maximum
effect of the Nokia Equity Program 2009 will be approximately another 0.6 per   
cent.                                                                           

Issuance of shares held by the Company

held by the Company to be used as settlement of its obligations for grants made 
to over 11 000 plan participants, employees of Nokia, under the Performance     
Share Plan 2006.
