The Annual General Meeting of Aktia Bank plc has today adopted the financial
statements of the parent company and the consolidated financial statements and

The record date for the dividend will be 15 April 2015 and the dividend will be
paid out on 22 April 2015. 

The Annual General Meeting established the number of members on the Board of
Supervisors as twenty-nine. 

The members of the Board of Supervisors Harriet Ahlnäs, Johan Aura, Anna
Bertills, Henrik Rehnberg and  Sture Söderholm, who were due to step down, were
re-elected as members of the Board of Supervisors and Annika Grannas (M.Sc.
(Econ)), Yvonne Malin-Hult (M.Sc. (Econ)) and Kim Wikström (D. Sc. (Tech)),

Supervisors. All for a term of three years. 

As annual remuneration for the members of the Board of Supervisors, EUR 22,600
for the chair, EUR 10,000 for deputy chairs and EUR 4,400 for members were
established. EUR 500 was established as remuneration per attended meeting. 

The Annual General Meeting established the number of auditors as one and
elected KPMG Oy Ab as the company's auditor.

Articles of Association of Aktia Bank plc regarding the bank's field of
operations, reflecting the fact that the bank ceased to act as central credit
institution in spring 2015. 

The Annual General Meeting approved the proposals by the Board of Directors
concerning the authorisation to issue shares, the authorisation to acquire own
shares to be used in the company's share based incentive scheme and/or as
remuneration to members of executive bodies in the company as well as the
