Sanoma Corporation, Stock Exchange Release, 8 April 2015 at 16:15 CET+1

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, Sanoma Corporation's
Annual General Meeting 2015 approved today the payment of a dividend of EUR
0.20 per share and authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of the
Company's own shares. The AGM also approved other proposals to the AGM as they
were. 

Board member Robin Langenskiöld was re-elected and Susan Duinhoven and Denise
Koopmans were elected as new Board members. Antti Herlin was elected as
Chairman of the Board and Pekka Ala-Pietilä as Vice Chairman. 

The AGM adopted the Financial Statements, the Board of Directors' Report and
the Auditors' Report for the year 2014 and discharged the members of the Board
of Directors as well as President and CEO from the liability for the financial
year 2014. 

Use of the profit and dividend payment

The AGM resolved that a dividend of EUR 0.20 per share shall be paid and a sum
of EUR 550,000 shall be transferred to the donation reserve and used at the
Board of Directors' discretion. The record date for the distribution of
dividends is 10 April 2015 and in Finland, the dividends will be paid on 17
April 2015. Outside Finland, the actual dividend payment date will be
determined by the practices of the intermediary banks transferring the
payments. 

Authorisation to decide on the repurchase of the Company's shares

The AGM authorised the Board to decide on the repurchase of maximum of
16,000,000 Company's own shares. The authorisation is effective until 30 June
2016 and terminates the corresponding authorisation granted by the AGM on 9
April 2014. 

These shares will be purchased with the Company's unrestricted shareholders'
equity, and the repurchases will reduce funds available for distribution on
profits. The shares will be repurchased to develop the Company's capital
structure, carry out or finance potential corporate acquisitions or other
business arrangements, to be used as a part of the Company's incentive
programme or to be otherwise conveyed further, retained as treasury shares, or
cancelled. 

The shares can be repurchased either through a tender offer made to all
shareholders on equal terms or in other proportion than that of the current
shareholders at the market price of the repurchase moment on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd.
