Authorization to decide on the repurchase of the company's own shares

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide upon
repurchase of a maximum of 4,800,000 company's own shares ("Share repurchase
authorization").

Shares will be repurchased by using unrestricted equity either through a tender
offer with equal terms to all shareholders at a price determined by the Board of
Directors or otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the
company's shareholders in public trading on the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (the
"Helsinki Stock Exchange") at the market price quoted at the time of the
repurchase.

The price paid for the shares repurchased through a tender offer under the
authorization shall be based on the market price of the company's shares in
public trading. The minimum price to be paid would be the lowest market price of
the share quoted in public trading during the authorization period and the
maximum price the highest market price quoted during the authorization period.

Shares shall be acquired and paid for in accordance with the Rules of the
Helsinki Stock Exchange and Euroclear Finland Ltd.

Shares may be repurchased to be used in implementing or financing mergers and
acquisitions, developing the company's capital structure, improving the
liquidity of the company's shares or to be used for the payment of the annual
fee payable to the members of the Board of Directors or implementing the
company's share-based incentive plans. In order to realize the aforementioned
purposes, the shares acquired may be retained, transferred further or cancelled
by the company.

The Board of Directors will decide upon other terms related to share repurchase.

The Share repurchase authorization is valid until the end of the next Annual
General Meeting.

Authorization to decide on share issue

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide to issue
a maximum of 15,600,000 new shares and/or transfer a maximum of 7,800,000
company's own shares held by the company ("Share issue authorization").

The new shares may be issued and the company's own shares held by the company
may be transferred either for consideration or without consideration.

The new shares may be issued and the company's own shares held by the company
may be transferred to the company's shareholders in proportion to their current
shareholdings in the company, or by disapplying the shareholders' pre-emption
right, through a directed share issue, if the company has a weighty financial
reason to do so, such as financing or implementing mergers and acquisitions,
developing the capital structure of the company, improving the liquidity of the
company's shares or if this is justified for the payment of the annual fee
payable to the members of the Board of Directors or implementing the company's
share-based incentive plans. The directed share issue may be carried out without
consideration only in connection with the implementation of the company's share-
based incentive plan.

The subscription price of new shares shall be recorded to the invested
unrestricted equity reserves. The consideration payable for company's own shares
shall be recorded to the invested unrestricted equity reserves.

The Board of Directors will decide upon other terms related to the share issues.

The Share issue authorization is valid until May 31, 2018.
