Nokia issues shares to the holders of Alcatel-Lucent securities

Espoo,  Finland -  Nokia announced  today that  it has  issued 1 455 678 563 new
shares  ("Shares", each a  "Share") in deviation  from shareholders' pre-emptive
right  to subscription  based on  an authorization  by the Extraordinary General
Meeting held on December 2, 2015 (the "EGM authorization"). The Shares have been
issued  in exchange for the  Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares, American Depositary
Shares  ("ADSs")  as  well  as  the  2018 OCEANE,  2019 OCEANE  and  2020 OCEANE
convertible  bonds (Alcatel-Lucent  shares, ADSs  and convertible bonds together
"Alcatel-Lucent  Securities")  which  have  been  tendered  into  Nokia's public
exchange  offers  in  France  and  the  United States (together the "Offers") in
accordance  with the  terms and  conditions of  the Offers.  As announced by the
French  stock market authority, Autorité des  Marchés Financiers (the "AMF"), on
January   5, 2016, 2 052 812 101 Alcatel-Lucent  ordinary  shares,  264 183 778
Alcatel-Lucent  ADSs (representing  an equal  amount of  Alcatel-Lucent shares),

Lucent  2019 OCEANE convertible bonds, and 16 138 206 Alcatel-Lucent 2020 OCEANE
convertible bonds were tendered into the Offers.

The  Shares will be paid by  contribution in kind with Alcatel-Lucent Securities
that   have   been  tendered  into  the  Offers.  The  subscription  price,  EUR
9 512 804 226.24 in  aggregate, is based on the  closing price of Nokia's shares
on  Nasdaq Helsinki on January 4, 2016 and will  be recorded in Nokia's fund for
invested  non-restricted equity  and, consequently,  Nokia's share  capital will
remain unchanged at EUR 245 896 461.96.

Nokia  expects to register the Shares with the Finnish Trade Register on January
7, 2016. After  the registration the  total number of  Nokia's shares will equal
5 448 542 279. The  Shares  will  carry  the  right  to  dividends and all other
shareholder  rights as of  the registration date.  The trading in  the Shares is
expected  to  commence  on  Nasdaq  Helsinki  and  Euronext  Paris as of January
8, 2016 and  the  trading  in  the  new  Nokia  ADSs  representing the Shares to
commence  on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") as of January 8, 2016. The
delivery  by Euronext Paris  of the new  Nokia Shares to  the relevant financial
intermediaries  of  Alcatel-Lucent  security  holders  is  expected  on  January
8, 2016 and  the new Nokia ADSs are expected to be registered in the name of the
former registered Alcatel-Lucent ADS holders on January 7, 2016.

In  accordance with Article 232-4 of the AMF General Regulation, the Offers will
be  reopened and the Board of Directors of Nokia has also resolved, based on the
EGM  authorization, to issue a maximum of 644 321 000 new shares in exchange for
the  Alcatel-Lucent Securities  which are  tendered into  the reopened Offers in
accordance  with the terms and conditions of  the Offers. The new shares will be
paid  by  contribution  in  kind  with  the  Alcatel-Lucent  Securities that are
tendered  into the reopened Offers. The  exchange ratios and, apart from timing,
the  other terms and conditions of the issuance  of shares in the context of the
reopened  Offers will remain the same as for the initial Offers. On the basis of
the  indicative  timetable  of  the  Offer  contained  in  Nokia's  French Offer
document,  the reopened Offers should commence  on January 14, 2016 and close on
February  3, 2016, subject to the publication by  the AMF of its notice relating
to  the reopening of the French Offer.  Nokia will confirm and publish the final
number  of new shares to be issued  in connection with the reopened Offers based
on the results of the reopened Offers, which are expected to be published by the
AMF on or about February 8, 2016.

Nokia  expects to register  the new shares  to be issued  in connection with the
reopened  Offers with the Finnish Trade Register on or about February 12, 2016.

as  of the registration date. Nokia expects the  trading in the new shares to be
