PAYING PANOSTAJA OYJ BOARD MEMBERS’ FEES IN THE FORM OF SHARES HELD BY THE COMPANY

With reference to Board meeting fees, Panostaja Oyj’s AGM decided on 27th January 2011 that about 40% of the fee paid to a board member should be paid in accordance with the share issue authorisation given to the Board by transferring company shares to each Board member unless a Board member should already own more than one per cent of the total share capital on the date of the AGM. If a Board member’s holding in the company on the date of the AGM should exceed one per cent of the total share capital, the fee shall be paid fully in cash.
