•           Review by the CEO

7          Adoption of the annual accounts

8          Resolution on the use of the profit shown on the balance sheet and
the payment of dividend 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend
of EUR 0.90 per share be paid from the distributable assets for the financial
year that ended on 31 December 2013. The dividend shall be paid to shareholders
who on the record date for the dividend payment on 25 March 2014 are recorded
in the shareholders' register held by Euroclear Finland Oy or the register of
Euroclear Sweden AB. The dividend shall be paid as from 10 April 2014. 

9          Resolution on the discharge of the members of the Board of Directors
and the CEO from liability 

10         Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of
Directors 

The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that the remuneration of the Board
of Directors will be annual fees and remain unchanged: EUR 72 000 to the
Chairman, EUR 48 000 to the Deputy Chairman and EUR 31 500 to the ordinary
members of the Board of Directors. The same fee as to the Board Deputy Chairman
will be paid to the Chairman of Board Committee unless the same individual is
also the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the Board. In addition to these fees it
is proposed that the member of the Board of the Directors be paid a
remuneration of EUR 800 for each Board meeting and for each permanent or
temporary committee meeting. It is the company's practice not to pay fees to
Board members who are also employees of the Tieto Group. 

The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that 40% of the fixed annual
remuneration be paid in Tieto Corporation's shares purchased from the market.
The shares will be purchased within two weeks from the release of the interim
report January 1 - March 31, 2014. According to the proposal, the Annual
General Meeting will resolve to acquire the shares directly on behalf of the
members of the Board which is an approved manner to acquire the company's
shares in accordance with the applicable insider rules. The Shareholders'
Nomination Board is of the opinion that increasing long-term shareholding of
the Board members will benefit all the shareholders. 

11         Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that
the number of Board members be eight. 

12         Election of members of the Board of Directors and the Chairman

The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that
the current Board members Kurt Jofs, Eva Lindqvist, Sari Pajari, Risto
Perttunen, Markku Pohjola, Teuvo Salminen and Jonas Synnergren be re-elected
and in addition Endre Rangnes is proposed to be elected as a new Board member.
Ilkka Sihvo has informed that he is not available for re-election. The
Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that Markku Pohjola shall be re-elected
as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. 

The term of office of the Board members ends at the close of the next Annual
General Meeting. All the proposed candidates have given their consent to being
elected. 

Endre Rangnes (born 1959) is the CEO of Lindorff Group, a market-leading
European provider of debt-related administrative services. Previously, he has
held various positions at IBM, among others the Managing Director of IBM
Norway. He has also earlier acted as President of EVRY ASA, the largest IT
company in Norway. He has graduated as a Bachelor of Business Administration
from Oslo Business School. 

The biographical details of the candidates and information on their holdings
are available on Tieto's website at www.tieto.com/proposal. 

In addition to the above, the company's personnel shall appoint two members,
each with a personal deputy, to the Board of Directors. The term of office for
the personnel representatives is two years and Esa Koskinen (deputy Ilpo
Waljus) and Ingela Öhlund (deputy Anders Palklint) are appointed to the Board
until the Annual General Meeting 2016. 

13         Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor

The Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual
General Meeting that the auditor to be elected at the Annual General Meeting be
reimbursed according to the auditor's invoice and in compliance with the
purchase principles approved by the committee. 

14         Election of auditor

The Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual
General meeting that the firm of authorized public accountants
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy be re-elected as the company's auditor for the
financial year 2014. 

15         Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of
the company's own shares 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of
Directors be authorized to decide on the repurchase of the company's own shares
as follows: 

The amount of own shares to be repurchased shall not exceed 7 200 000 shares,
which currently corresponds to approximately 10 % of all the shares in the
company. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to repurchase
own shares. 

Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date
of the repurchase or at a price otherwise formed on the market. 

The Board of Directors decides how the share repurchase will be carried out.
Own shares can be repurchased inter alia by using derivatives. The company's
own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings
of the shareholders (directed repurchase). 

The authorization cancels previous unused authorizations to decide on the
repurchase of the company's own shares. The authorization is effective until
the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than until 30 April 2015. 

16         Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of
shares as well as options and other special rights entitling to shares 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of
Directors be authorized to decide on the issuance of shares as well as on the
issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares referred
to in chapter 10 section 1 of the Companies Act in one or more tranches as
follows: 

The amount of shares to be issued based on the authorization (including shares
to be issued based on the special rights) shall not exceed 7 200 000 shares,
which currently corresponds to approximately 10 % of all the shares in the
company. However, out of the above maximum amount of shares to be issued no
more than 700 000 shares, currently corresponding to less than 1 % of all of
the shares in the company, may be issued as part of the company's share-based
incentive programs. 

The Board of Directors decides on the terms and conditions of the issuance of
shares, option rights and of special rights entitling to shares. The
authorization concerns both the issuance of new shares as well as the transfer
of treasury shares. The issuance of shares and of special rights entitling to
shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right
(directed issue). 

The authorization cancels previous unused authorizations to decide on the
issuance of shares and on the issuance of options and other special rights
entitling to shares. The authorization is effective until the next Annual
General Meeting, however, no longer than until 30 April 2015.
