The Nomination Committee of Orion Corporation has given its
recommendation to the Board of Directors of the company for the
proposal to the Annual General Meeting of 2008 concerning the
composition of the Board of Directors to be elected. The Committee
recommends that the following proposal be presented to the AGM of
2008:

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

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 72,000, the Vice Chairman would receive EUR 49,000 and the other
members would receive EUR 36,000 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
31 March - 4 April 2008 from the stock exchange in amounts
corresponding to EUR 28,800 for the Chairman, EUR 19,600 for the Vice
Chairman and
EUR 14,400 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 2008. The annual fees shall encompass
the full term of office of the Board of Directors.

The Nomination Committee states that it has not given its
recommendation for the remunerations to the Board of Directors, but
the matter will be proposed by a shareholder at the AGM of 2008.
