the Deputy Chairman, and 44,000 euros for ordinary members. Approximately 40 %

It was further decided that remuneration per committee meeting shall be paid to
the members of the Board committees amounting to EUR 600 to Finnish residents,

Authorisation to buy back the company's own shares

The Board was authorised to resolve, within one year from the date of the
meeting, to buy back the company's own shares using distributable earnings from
unrestricted equity. The Board may buy back a maximum of 3.5 million shares,
amounting in total to 4.8 per cent of the total number of the shares of the
corporation. 

Shares will be bought back otherwise than in proportion to the existing
shareholdings of the corporation's shareholders, in public trading on the
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Exchange at the market price quoted at the time of the
buyback. The corporation will buy back its own shares to use them as
consideration in connection with any company acquisitions and other industrial
restructuring, to develop the capital structure of the corporation, finance
investments, to dispose of the shares in some other way or cancel them. The
share buyback will reduce the corporation's unrestricted equity.
