NOTES TO THE CARVE-OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION ABOUT F-SECURE

Background

WithSecure Corporation, formerly F-Secure Corporation, ("WithSecure Oyj" with its subsidiaries ("WithSecure") provides cyber security products and services globally for consumers and businesses. On March 16, 2022 the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders decided to change the business name of the parent company F-Secure Corporation to WithSecure Corporation.

On February 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of WithSecure Corporation announced its decision to pursue the separation of its consumer security business ("Consumer Security Business") and approved a demerger plan according to which all assets and liabilities of the Consumer Security Business shall be transferred to a company to be incorporated in connection with the partial demerger ("Demerger") and to be named F-Secure Corporation ("F-Secure"). The decision is based on the outcome of a review and evaluation of different strategic options. WithSecure will, after the Demerger, concentrate on its corporate security business ("Corporate Security Business").

The Demerger is subject to, among other things, approval by a majority of two-thirds of votes cast and shares represented in the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Demerger is expected to become effective as of June 30, 2022. WithSecure intends to apply for the shares in F-Secure to be admitted to trading on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki. The trading in F-Secure's shares on Nasdaq Helsinki is expected to begin on or about July 1, 2022, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. The shareholders of WithSecure will receive as demerger consideration one new share in the F-Secure for each share they hold in WithSecure as demerger consideration. The final number of the shares in F-Secure issued as demerger consideration will be determined based on number of shares in WithSecure (excluding shares owned by WithSecure) on the effective date of the Demerger.

F-Secure has not formed a legal sub-group within WithSecure and it has not prepared consolidated group financial information prior to the Demerger. In preparation for the proposed Demerger, WithSecure will carve out and transfer relevant entities' assets and liabilities to F-Secure corporation. WithSecure has prepared this set of unaudited carve-out financial information for the three months period ended 31 March 2022 for F-Secure to illustrate the business' result of operations, assets and liabilities and cash flows that will be carved out from WithSecure.

The carve-out financial information for the three months period ended 31 March 2022 ("Carve-out financial information") is prepared according to the basis of preparation described in the following section and the carve-out principles and accounting principles included in the F-Secure carve-out financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020 and 2019. The carve-out financial information is prepared for inclusion in F-Secure's demerger and listing prospectus which is prepared by WithSecure for approval of the partial demerger by the extraordinary shareholder's meeting and for listing of the shares of F-Secure on the Nasdaq Helsinki Stock Exchange. The carve-out financial information is approved by the Board of directors of WithSecure to be published on May 13, 2022.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The carve-out financial information for the three months period ended 31 March 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. The carve-out principles and accounting principles applied are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the carve-out financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The carve-out interim financial information of F-Secure have been prepared on a carve-out basis from WithSecure's consolidated financial information using the historical book values for income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows attributable to the Consumer Security Business. F-Secure has historically operated worldwide in legal entities that comprise both Consumer Security Business and Corporate Security Business, including the parent company WithSecure Oyj. Therefore assets, liabilities, income, revenue and expenses and cash flows which are either directly attributable to, have been allocated to or will transfer to F-Secure have been included in the carve-out financial information.

IFRS does not provide direct guidance for the preparation of carve-out financial information, and accordingly in preparing the carve-out financial information, certain accounting conventions commonly used for the preparation of historical carve-out financial information for inclusion in a prospectus have been applied as in the carve-out financial statements as at and for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The carve-out financial information may not necessarily represent its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows that would have been had F-Secure been managed as a stand-alone consolidated group, preparing consolidated financial information for the periods presented, separate from WithSecure. Further, the carve-out financial information may not be indicative of F-Secure's future performance, financial position or cash flows.

The carve-out financial information is presented in thousands of euros unless otherwise stated. All figures have been rounded which may cause the sum of individual figures to deviate from the sum of the presented lineitem totals.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of this carve-out financial information has required management to make estimates and judgements affecting the amounts reported in this carve-out financial information and the accompanying notes. These estimates and judgements have an impact on the carve-out principles and accounting principles applied to this carve-out financial information and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates and judgement have been used in the following areas, among others: application of the carve-out principles, deferred taxes and expected credit losses. More detailed information of areas involving estimation and management judgement is included in note 1 of the audited carve-out financial statements as at and for the periods ended 31 December 2021, 2020 and 2019.

2. Segment information

Consumer Security Business consists of designing and providing a comprehensive range of cybersecurity products and services related to data security, privacy protection as well as privacy protection and digital identity protection of consumers' terminal devices, networks and devices connected to a network, sold, in each case, either directly or indirectly, to consumers.
