14. Authorising the Board to decide on purchasing 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 Board of Directors is authorized to decide on the purchase of a maximum of
five million (5,000,000) company shares, which accounts for 8.7% of all shares
of the company. Company shares will be purchased with funds from the company's
non-restricted equity, in which case the acquisition will decrease the
company's distributable non-restricted equity. 

Shares will be purchased in a different proportion to that of the holdings of
the current shareholders. Purchasing will take place through public trading
arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy. The shares will be purchased at the fair
value established in public trading at the time of acquisition. 

Shares can be purchased to develop the company's capital structure, to be used
as remuneration in corporate acquisitions or the funding of other business
arrangements, or as part of the company's incentive system, or otherwise to be
forwarded, to be retained by the company, or to be annulled. The Board of
Directors will decide on other matters related to the acquisition of the
company's shares. 

The authorization cancels the authorization given in the Annual General Meeting
on 19 April 2012 to repurchase the company's own shares. The authorisation is
valid for 18 months from when it was granted. 

15. Authorising the Board to decide on the granting of option rights

The Board proposes that the AGM decide on granting option rights to specific
key people of the company and its subsidiaries. The total number of option
rights is 750,000 and they entitle the key personnel to subscribe for a
combined total of 750,000 of the company's new shares or shares in its
possession. 

The subscription price of shares subscribed with option rights is based on the
trading volume weighted by the Company's average share price on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki in March 2013, 2014, and 2015. The subscription period for option
right 2013A is 1 May 2016 - 30 April 2018, option right 2013B is 1 May 2017 -
30 April 2019 and option right 2013C 1 May 2018 - 30 April 2020. Commencement
of the subscription period requires that the production or financial goals
defined annually by the Board are met.
