Tapio Hakakari, Heikki Hornborg, Tapani Mönkkönen, Pertti Nupponen and Matti    
Virtaala were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. Robert Ingman was
elected as a new member of the Board of Directors.                              

The auditor elected was PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, a firm of authorized public  
accountants, with Mika Kaarisalo APA as the auditor in charge. The fees for the 
auditor are paid according to invoice.                                          

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to acquire         
company's own shares in one or more lots using the company's unrestricted       
equity. A maximum of 2.000.000 of the company's own shares can be acquired. The 
Board of Directors shall have the right to decide who the shares are acquired   
from or, the Board of Directors has the right to decide on a directed           
acquisition of own shares.                                                      

The authorization includes the right to decide the acquiring of the company's   
own shares through a tender offer made to all shareholders on equal terms and   
conditions and at the price determined by the Board of Directors or in public   
trading organized by the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki at the market price valid at any   
given time so that the company's holdings of combined own shares is maximum of  
ten (10) per cent of all the company's shares. The minimum price for the shares 
to be acquired is the lowest market price quoted for a share in public trading  
during the validity of the authorization and, correspondingly, the maximum price
is the highest market price quoted for a share in public trading during the     
validity of the authorization.                                                  

If the shares are acquired in public trading, the shares will not be acquired in
proportion of the current shareholdings. Thus, there must be a substantial      
financial reason from the company's point of view for the acquisition of the own
shares. The shares may be acquired in order to be used as consideration in      
potential company acquisitions or in other structural arrangements. The shares  
may be used as well for carrying out company's incentive scheme provided to the 
personnel. The acquired shares may be kept by the company, invalidated or       
assigned onwards.                                                               

Acquiring will reduce the non-restricted equity.                                

The authorization is valid for 18 months from the date of the decision of the   
Annual General Meeting starting on 26 March 2009 and ending on 26 September     
2010. The authorization shall replace the previous authorization.
