Resolutions by Uponor Corporation's Annual General Meeting

Uponor Corporation's Annual General Meeting approved the proposed dividend of
€0.55 per share for 2010. The existing Board members were re-elected. In
addition, Ms Eva Nygren was elected as the sixth member of the Board. The AGM
approved all Board proposals, including the authorisations to repurchase own
shares and to decide on a share issue. The detailed proposals are available at
www.uponor.com > Investors. 

The AGM adopted the financial statements and the consolidated financial
statements for 2010 and released the Board members and the managing director
from liability. 

The Chairman of the Board, Jari Paasikivi stated that the Board would not
consider initiating a share buyback at this stage. He also justified the
authorisation to resolve on a share issue by stating that shares can
potentially be used as a means of payment in connection with acquisitions. 

The dividend will be paid out on 25 March 2011, the record date being 18 March
2011. 

Held in Helsinki, Finland, the AGM was chaired by Tomas Lindholm,
Attorney-at-Law.
