Option release: The new unlimited number of shares in OMXH25 index (54/08)


The unlimited* number of shares in the OMXH25 index, which will become effective on November 3, can be found in the attached file. The free float coefficients used in the previous quarterly review on August 1 are unchanged.

Enclosed is a sheet listing the unlimited number of shares and the free float coefficients for the constituents of the OMXH25 index.

A new exchange notice with the new number of shares used in the OMXH25 index will be sent out after the markets closing on October 31.

The weight-limited number of shares will be determined so that in the opening index on November 3, 2008 the total weight of the share series of any single company will be no more than 10 per cent. At the closing stock prices of October 23, 2008 this would mean that Nokia Oyj's number of shares in index would be ca. 374 million, Fortum Oyj's number of shares in index would be ca. 256 million, Sampo Oyj's number of shares in index would be ca. 316 million, and UPM-Kymmene Oyj’s number of shares in index would be ca. 466 million. The closing stock prices of October 23, 2008 indicate that no other weight-restrictions are required.
