registered in the shareholders’ register held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the
record date of the payment, i.e. 17 May 2019.

Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

Board members residing abroad. Travel expenses are reimbursed in accordance with
the company’s travel policy.

Composition of the Board of Directors

The meeting approved the number of members of the Board of Directors to be

Kai Telanne as Vice Chairman and Kim Henriksson, Tiina Lencioni,

The term for the members of the Board of Directors lasts until the end of the
next Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the recommendation by the Audit Committee, the Annual General
Meeting re-elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as the company’s auditor for a term
that ends at the close of the next Annual General Meeting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has informed the company that Authorized Public
Accountant Ylva Eriksson continues as the auditor in charge. The meeting decided
that the auditor’s fees be paid against an invoice approved by the company.

Minutes of the meeting

The minutes of the Annual General Meeting will be available as of 29 May 2019 at
the latest on Altia’s website at: www.altiagroup.com/investors.

Organisational meeting of the Board of Directors

Altia’s Board of Directors held its organisational meeting after the Annual
General Meeting and elected members of the Audit and Human Resources
Committees as follows:

·  Audit Committee: Kim Henriksson (Chairman), Tiina Lencioni and Sanna
Suvanto-Harsaae
·  Human Resources Committee: Sanna Suvanto-Harsaae (Chairman), Kai
Telanne and Jukka Ohtola

The Board of Directors has assessed that all members of the Board of Directors
are independent of the company. Furthermore, all members of the Board of
Directors, with the exception of Jukka Ohtola, are independent of the company’s
major shareholders. Jukka Ohtola is a member of the Board of Directors
of Valtion Kehitysyhtiö Vake Oy and holds an office in the Ownership Steering
Department of the Finnish Prime Minister’s Office and is therefore not
independent of the company’s major shareholders.
