Shareholders' Nomination Panel.
According to the proposal, the Shareholders' Nomination Panel comprises of four
members nominated by shareholders and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
one other member of the Board of Directors appointed by the Board. The
Shareholders' Nomination Panel will elect a Chairman from amongst its members.
The right to nominate the shareholder representatives lies with those four
shareholders whose share of all the voting rights in the company is the largest
on the last working day of September preceding the next Annual General Meeting.
The largest shareholders are determined on the basis of the shareholders'
register of the company held by Euroclear Finland Ltd. However, holdings by a
shareholder who, under the Finnish Securities Market Act, has the obligation to
disclose changes in shareholdings (flagging obligation) that are divided into
several funds or registers, will be summed up when calculating the share of all
the voting rights, provided that such shareholder presents a written request to
that effect to the Chairman of the company's Board of Directors no later than on
the penultimate working day of September preceding the Annual General Meeting.
Should a shareholder not wish to use its nomination right, the right transfers
to the next largest shareholder, who would otherwise not have a nomination
right.
16. Board's proposal to amend article 8 of the Articles of Association
The Board of Directors proposes that, should the Annual General Meeting resolve
to establish a Shareholders' Nomination Panel referred to in section 15 above,
the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend article 8 of the company's Articles
of Association to correspond to the changes to be made to the duties of the
Board Committees and the current practices applied by the company.
Following the proposed amendment the article 8 would in its entirety read as
follows:

Directors will establish the number of members, the detailed tasks and terms of

services provided as well as advice and make recommendations to the Board of
Directors and the shareholders' meeting on issues related thereto.
