Recommendation by the Nomination Committee concerning
Board of Directors to be elected by the AGM of Orion Corporation


The Nomination Committee of Orion Corporation has, on 29 January
2007, given its recommendation to the Board of Directors of the
company for the proposal to the Annual General Meeting of 2007
concerning the composition of the Board of Directors to be
elected. The Committee recommends that the following proposal be
presented to the AGM of 2007:

The number of Board members would be six. Eero Karvonen, Matti
Kavetvuo, Leena Palotie and Vesa Puttonen would be re-elected
and Hannu Syrjänen and Jukka Ylppö would be elected as new
members to the Board of Directors for the next term of office.
Matti Kavetvuo would be re-elected as Chairman.

Of the members of the present Board of Directors, Professor
Heikki Vapaatalo is no more eligible to the Board due to the age
limitation concerning the Board members provided in the Articles
of Association. Of the recommended new members, Hannu Syrjänen
is President and CEO of SanomaWSOY Corporation and Jukka Ylppö
serves in specialist duties at ABB Oy.

The Nomination Committee also announces as its recommendation
that the following remunerations be paid to the Board of
Directors:

As an annual fee for the term of office of the Board of
Directors, the Chairman would receive EUR 68,000, the Vice
Chairman would receive EUR 47,000 and the other members would
receive EUR 34,000 each. As a fee for each meeting attended, the
Chairman would receive EUR 1,200, the Vice Chairman would
receive EUR 900 and the other members would receive EUR 600
each. In accordance with previously adopted practice, the
Chairman would have a telephone as a fringe benefit, and the
travel expenses of all Board members would be paid in accordance
with the travel policy of the company. The afore-mentioned fees
would also be paid to the Chairmen and to the members of the
committees established by the Board, for each committee meeting
attended.

Of the annual fee, 60% would be paid in cash and 40% in Orion
Corporation B-shares, which would be acquired to the members
during 9-13 April 2007 from the Helsinki Stock Exchange in
amounts corresponding to EUR 27,200 for the Chairman, EUR 18,800
for the Vice Chairman and EUR 13,600 for each of the other
members. The part of the annual fee that is to be paid in cash
corresponds to the approximate sum necessary for the payment of
the income taxes on the fees and would be paid no later than 30
April 2007. The annual fees shall encompass the full term of
office of the Board of Directors.

The Nomination Committee states that it will not give its
recommendation for the remunerations to the Board of Directors,
but the matter will be proposed by a shareholder at the AGM of
2007.
