The Annual General Meeting decided that the Articles of Association of the Company will be partly amended in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposition. The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board proposition to carry out directed free share issue totalling 598,285 new shares by deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive right of subscription so that new shares are issued to sellers of Pan-Oston Ltd and Lappipaneli Ltd. This directed share issue relates to earn-out liabilities based on above mentioned companies' financial year 2006 performance. The Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on share issue, as well as on granting option rights and other special rights that entitle to shares. At the maximum 25,000,000 new or existing shares, equalling approximately 17.9 per cent of the total number of shares, may be issued by virtue of this authorisation. It was decided that the terms of the option program I/2005 shall be updated taking into account the new Companies Act. The Annual General Meeting decided that the shares in the joint book-entry account, of whose part a registration of ownership to a book-entry account has not been demanded even though five years have passed since the registration date, shall be sold. The balance of the joint book-entry account on 10 April 2007 totals 47,500 shares that correspond to approximately 0.3 per cent of the total number of shares. The shares in question shall be sold via the stock exchange in the name of the owners of the shares.
