Risk factors
Set forth below is a description of risk factors that could affect Nokia. There may be, however, additional risks unknown to Nokia and other risks currently believed to be immaterial that could turn out to be material. These risks, either individually or together, could adversely affect our business, sales, results of operations, financial condition and share price from time to time.
- » We need to have a competitive portfolio of high quality products and services and their combination that are preferred, purchased and used by our current and potential customers and consumers. If we fail to achieve or maintain a competitive portfolio, our business, sales and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
- » Our sales and profitability have been, and continue to be, driven to significant extent by our success in the traditional mobile device market. Increasingly, however, our sales and profitability depend on our success in the market for converged mobile devices. Our failure to effectively, timely and profitably adapt our business and operations to the developing requirements of the converged mobile device market could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, particularly our profitability, and our financial condition.
- » Competition in the various markets where we do business–traditional mobile devices, converged mobile devices, digital map data and related location-based content, and mobile and fixed
network infrastructure and related services–is intense. Our failure to maintain or improve our market position or respond successfully to changes in the competitive environment in those markets may have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and results of operations.
- » Any actual or even alleged defects or other quality, safety and security issues in our products and services and their combinations, including but not limited to the hardware, software and content used in our products, or any loss, improper disclosure or leakage of any personal or consumer data collected by us, made available to us or stored in or through our products and services, could materially adversely affect our sales, results of operations, reputation and the value of the Nokia brand.
- » We are a global company and have sales in most countries of the world and, consequently, our sales and profitability are dependent on the development of the mobile and fixed communications industry in numerous diverse markets, as well as on general economic conditions globally and regionally.
- » Our business and results of operations, particularly our profitability, may be materially adversely affected if we are not able to successfully manage costs related to our products and services and their combinations, and to our operations.
- » Our net sales, costs and results of operations, as well as the US dollar value of our dividends and market price of our ADSs, are affected by exchange rate fluctuations, particularly between the euro, which is our reporting currency, and the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan, as well as certain other currencies.
- » We depend on a limited number of suppliers for the timely delivery of sufficient quantities of fully functional components, sub-assemblies, software, applications and content and for their compliance with our supplier requirements, such as our own and our customers' and consumers' product quality, safety, security and other standards. Their failure to deliver or meet those requirements could materially adversely affect our ability to deliver our products and services and their combinations successfully and on time.
-
» We are developing new technologies, products and services, including applications and content, in collaboration with other companies. We believe that success in the converged mobile device market in particular requires such collaboration and partnering. If any of those companies were to fail to perform as planned or if we fail to achieve the collaboration or partnering arrangements needed to succeed, we may not be able to bring our products and services to market successfully or in a timely way and this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
-
» Our sales and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we fail to efficiently manage our manufacturing, service creation and delivery as well as logistics without interruption or make timely and appropriate adjustments, or fail to ensure that our products and services, meet our and our customers' and consumers' requirements and are delivered on time and in sufficient volumes.
- » Our products and services and their combination include increasingly complex technologies, some of which have been developed by us or licensed to us by certain third parties. As a consequence, evaluating the rights related to the technologies we use or intend to use is more and more challenging, and we expect increasingly to face claims that we have infringed third parties' intellectual property rights. The use of these technologies may also result in increased licensing costs for us, restrictions on our ability to use certain technologies in our products and services and/or costly and time-consuming litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- » Our products and services and their combination include numerous Nokia, NAVTEQ and Nokia Siemens Networks patented, standardized or proprietary technologies on which we depend. Third parties may use without a license or unlawfully infringe our intellectual property or commence actions seeking to establish the invalidity of the intellectual property rights of these technologies. This may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
- » Our sales derived from, and assets located in, emerging market countries may be materially adversely affected by economic, regulatory and political developments in those countries or by other countries imposing regulations against imports to such countries. As sales from those countries represent a significant portion of our total sales, economic or political turmoil in those countries could materially adversely affect our sales and results of operations. Our investments in emerging market countries may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties.
- » Changes in various types of regulation and trade policies in countries around the world could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
- » Our operations rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex and centralized information technology systems and networks. If a system or network inefficiency, malfunction or disruption occurs, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
- » If we are unable to retain, motivate, develop and recruit appropriately skilled employees, our abil-
ity to implement our strategies may be hampered and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
- » An unfavorable outcome of litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- » Allegations of possible health risks from the electromagnetic fields generated by base stations and mobile devices, and the lawsuits and publicity relating to this matter, regardless of merit, could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations, share price, reputation and brand value by leading consumers to reduce their use of mobile devices, by increasing difficulty in obtaining sites for base stations, or by leading regulatory bodies to set arbitrary use restrictions and exposure limits, or by causing us to allocate additional monetary and personnel resources to these issues.
In addition to the risks described above and applicable to whole Nokia Group, the following are risks primarily related to Nokia Siemens Networks that could affect Nokia.
- » In response to its declined market share and deteriorated financial performance, Nokia Siemens Networks announced in 2009 a plan to improve its financial performance by reducing operating expenses and other costs and increasing profitability. If Nokia Siemens Networks is unable to execute its plan effectively and timely or if the plan fails to achieve the desired results, that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- » The networks infrastructure and related services business relies on a limited number of customers and large multi-year contracts. Unfavorable developments under such a contract or in relation to a major customer may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- » Providing customer financing or extending payment terms to customers can be a competitive requirement in the network infrastructure and related services business and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
- » Some of the Siemens carrier-related operations transferred to Nokia Siemens Networks have been and continue to be the subject of various criminal and other governmental investigations related to whether certain transactions and payments arranged by some former employees of Siemens were unlawful. As a result of those investigations, government authorities and others have taken and may take further actions against Siemens and/or its employees that may involve and affect the assets and employees transferred by Siemens to Nokia Siemens Networks, or there may be
undetected additional violations that may have occurred prior to the transfer or violations that may have occurred after the transfer of such assets and employees that could have a material adverse effect on Nokia Siemens Networks and our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.
Dividend
Nokia's Board of Directors will propose a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share for 2009.

1. Accounting principles
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Nokia Corporation ("Nokia" or "the Group"), a Finnish public limited liability company with domicile in Helsinki, in the Republic of Finland, are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros ("EURm"), except as noted, and are prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The notes to the consolidated financial statements also conform to Finnish Accounting legislation. On March 11, 2010, Nokia's Board of Directors authorized the financial statements for 2009 for issuance and filing.
The Group completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity of NAVTEQ on July 10, 2008 and a transaction to form Nokia Siemens Networks on April 1, 2007. The NAVTEQ and the Nokia Siemens Networks business combinations have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and associated notes. See Note 8.
Adoption of pronouncements under IFRS
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by the IASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2009.
- » IAS 1 (revised), Presentation of financial statements, prompts entities to aggregate information in the financial statements on the basis of shared characteristics. All non-owner changes in equity (i.e. comprehensive income) should be presented either in one statement of comprehensive income or in a separate income statement and statement of comprehensive income.
- » Amendments to IFRS 7 require entities to provide additional disclosures about the fair value measurements. The amendments clarify the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk.
- » Amendment to IFRS 2, Share-based payment, Group and Treasury Share Transactions, clarifies the definition of different vesting conditions, treatment of all non-vesting conditions and provides further guidance on the accounting treatment of cancellations by parties other than the entity.
-
» Amendment to IAS 20, Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance, requires that the benefit of a below-market rate government loan is measured as the difference between the carrying amount in accordance with IAS 39 and the proceeds received, with the benefit accounted for in accordance with IAS 20.
-
» Amendment to IAS 23, Borrowing costs, changes the treatment of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. These costs will consequently form part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense.
- » Under the amended IAS 32, Financial instruments: Presentation, the Group must classify puttable financial instruments or instruments or components thereof that impose an obligation to deliver to another party, a pro-rata share of net assets of the entity only on liquidation, as equity. Previously, these instruments would have been classified as financial liabilities.
- » Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 clarify the accounting treatment of embedded derivatives when reclassifying financial instruments.
- » IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programs addresses the accounting surrounding customer loyalty programs and whether some consideration should be allocated to free goods or services provided by a company. Consideration should be allocated to award credits based on their fair value, as they are a separately identifiable component.
- » IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate helps entities determine whether a particular construction agreement is within the scope of IAS 11, Construction Contracts or IAS 18, Revenue. At issue is whether such an agreement constitutes a construction contract under IAS 11. If so, an entity should use the percentage-ofcompletion method to recognize revenue. If not, the entity should account for the agreement under IAS 18, which requires that revenue be recognized upon delivery of a good or service.
- » IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation clarifies the accounting treatment in respect of net investment hedging. This includes the fact that net investment hedging relates to differences in functional currency not presentation currency, and hedging instruments may be held anywhere in the group.
- » IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers clarifies the requirements for agreements in which an entity receives an item of property, plant and equipment or cash it is required to use to construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment that must be used to provide access to a supply of goods or services.
- » In addition, a number of other amendments that form part of the IASB's annual improvement project were adopted by the Group.
The adoption of each of the above mentioned standards did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nokia's parent company ("Parent Company"), and each of those companies over which the Group exercises control. Control over an entity is presumed to exist when the Group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 50% of the voting rights of the entity, the Group has the power to govern the operating and financial policies of the entity through agreement or the Group has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of the entity.
The Group's share of profits and losses of associated companies is included in the consolidated income statement in accordance with the equity method of accounting. An associated company is an entity over which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 20% of the voting rights of the company.
All inter-company transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process. Minority interests are presented separately as a component of net profit and they are shown as a component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Profits realized in connection with the sale of fixed assets between the Group and associated companies are eliminated in proportion to share ownership. Such profits are deducted from the Group's equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged.
The companies acquired during the financial periods presented have been consolidated from the date on which control of the net assets and operations was transferred to the Group. Similarly the result of a Group company divested during an accounting period is included in the Group accounts only to the date of disposal.
Business combinations
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for acquisitions of separate entities or businesses by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, equity instruments issued and costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed by the Group are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Assessment of the recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the acquisition in which the goodwill arose.
The Group assesses the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Group assesses the carrying amount of identifiable intangible assets and long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable. Factors that trigger an impairment review include underperformance relative to historical or projected future results, significant changes in the manner of the use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business and significant negative industry or economic trends.
The Group conducts its impairment testing by determining the recoverable amount for the asset or cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The recoverable amount is then compared to its carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements of all Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Parent Company.
Transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the individual transactions. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction is often used. At the end of the accounting period, the unsettled balances on foreign currency assets and liabilities are valued at the rates of exchange prevailing at the year-end. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from statement of financial position items, as well as fair value changes in the related hedging instruments, are reported in financial income and expenses. For non-monetary items, such as shares, the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the other comprehensive income.
Foreign Group companies
In the consolidated accounts all income and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Euro at the average foreign exchange rates for the accounting period. All assets and liabilities of foreign Group companies are translated into Euro at the year-end foreign exchange rates with the exception of goodwill arising on the acquisition of foreign companies prior to the adoption of IAS 21 (revised 2004) on January 1, 2005, which is translated to Euro at historical rates. Differences resulting from the translation of income
and expenses at the average rate and assets and liabilities at the closing rate are treated as an adjustment affecting consolidated shareholders' equity. On the disposal of all or part of a foreign Group company by sale, liquidation, repayment of share capital or abandonment, the cumulative amount or proportionate share of the translation difference is recognized as income or as expense in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
Revenue recognition
Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership and effective control have ceased, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. The Group records reductions to revenue for special pricing agreements, price protection and other volume based discounts. Service revenue is generally recognized on a straight line basis over the service period unless there is evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion. License fees from usage are recognized in the period when they are reliably measurable which is normally when the customer reports them to the Group.
The Group enters into transactions involving multiple components consisting of any combination of hardware, services and software. The commercial effect of each separately identifiable component of the transaction is evaluated in order to reflect the substance of the transaction. The consideration received from these transactions is allocated to each separately identifiable component based on the relative fair value of each component. The Group determines the fair value of each component by taking into consideration factors such as the price when the component or a similar component is sold separately by the Group or a third party. The consideration allocated to each component is recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for that component have been met.
In addition, sales and cost of sales from contracts involving solutions achieved through modification of complex telecommunications equipment are recognized using the percentage of completion method when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. A contract's outcome can be estimated reliably when total contract revenue and the costs to complete the contract can be estimated reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Group and the stage of contract completion can be measured reliably. When the Group is not able to meet those conditions, the policy is to recognize revenues only equal to costs incurred to date, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered.
Progress towards completion is measured by reference to cost incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total project costs, the cost-to-cost method.
The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing a particular project. Recognized revenues and profits are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in the period such revisions become likely and estimable. Losses on projects in progress are recognized in the period they become probable and estimable.
Shipping and handling costs
The costs of shipping and distributing products are included in cost of sales.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred, except for certain development costs, which are capitalized when it is probable that a development project will generate future economic benefits, and certain criteria, including commercial and technological feasibility, have been met. Capitalized development costs, comprising direct labor and related overhead, are amortized on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives between two and five years.
Capitalized development costs are subject to regular assessments of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues, including the impact of changes in technology. Unamortized capitalized development costs determined to be in excess of their recoverable amounts are expensed immediately.
Other intangible assets
Acquired patents, trademarks, licenses, software licenses for internal use, customer relationships and developed technology are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives, generally 3 to 6 years, but not exceeding 20 years. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of any intangible asset is assessed and written down to its recoverable amount.
Pensions
The Group companies have various pension schemes in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries in which they operate. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or to trustee-administered funds as determined by periodic actuarial calculations.
In a defined contribution plan, the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to make any additional contributions if the party receiving the contributions is unable to pay the pension obligations in question. The Group's contributions to defined
contribution plans, multi-employer and insured plans are recognized in the income statement in the period to which the contributions relate.
All arrangements that do not fulfill these conditions are considered defined benefit plans. If a defined benefit plan is funded through an insurance contract where the Group does not retain any legal or constructive obligations, such a plan is treated as a defined contribution plan.
For defined benefit plans, pension costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method: The pension cost is recognized in the income statement so as to spread the service cost over the service lives of employees. The pension obligation is measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on high quality corporate bonds with appropriate maturities. Actuarial gains and losses outside the corridor are recognized over the average remaining service lives of employees. The corridor is defined as ten percent of the greater of the value of plan assets or defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the respective year.
Past service costs are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The liability (or asset) recognized in the statement of financial position is pension obligation at the closing date less the fair value of plan assets, the share of unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, and past service costs. Any net pension asset is limited to unrecognized actuarial losses, past service cost, the present value of available refunds from the plan and expected reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Buildings and constructions | 20–33 years |
|---|---|
| Production machinery, measuring and test equipment |
1–3 years |
| Other machinery and equipment | 3–10 years |
Land and water areas are not depreciated.
Maintenance, repairs and renewals are generally charged to expense during the financial period in which they are incurred. However, major renovations are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life.
Gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets are included in operating profit/loss.
Leases
The Group has entered into various operating leases, the payments under which are treated as rentals and recognized in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease terms unless another systematic approach is more representative of the pattern of the user's benefit.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a FIFO (Firstin First-out) basis. Net realizable value is the amount that can be realized from the sale of the inventory in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realization.
In addition to the cost of materials and direct labor, an appropriate proportion of production overhead is included in the inventory values.
An allowance is recorded for excess inventory and obsolescence based on the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Financial assets
The Group has classified its financial assets as one of the following categories: available-for-sale investments, loans and receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and bank and cash.
Available-for-sale investments
The Group classifies the following investments as available-for-sale based on the purpose for acquiring the investments as well as ongoing intentions: (1) highly liquid, interest-bearing investments with maturities at acquisition of less than 3 months, which are classified in the balance sheet as current available-forsale investments, cash equivalents, (2) similar types of investments as in category (1), but with maturities at acquisition of longer than 3 months, classified in the balance sheet as current available-for-sale investments, liquid assets, (3) investments in technology related publicly quoted equity shares, or unlisted private equity shares and unlisted funds, classified in the balance sheet as non-current available-for-sale investments.
Current fixed income and money-market investments are fair valued by using quoted market rates, discounted cash flow analyses and other appropriate valuation models at the balance sheet date. Investments in publicly quoted equity shares are measured at fair value using exchange quoted bid prices. Other available-for-sale investments carried at fair value include holdings in unlisted shares. Fair value is estimated by using various factors, including, but not limited to: (1) the current market value of similar instruments, (2) prices established from a recent arm's length financing transaction of the target companies, (3) analysis of market prospects and operating performance of the target companies taking into consideration the public market of comparable companies in
similar industry sectors. The remaining available-forsale investments are carried at cost less impairment, which are technology related investments in private equity shares and unlisted funds for which the fair value cannot be measured reliably due to non-existence of public markets or reliable valuation methods against which to value these assets. The investment and disposal decisions on these investments are business driven.
All purchases and sales of investments are recorded on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The fair value changes of available-for-sale investments are recognized in fair value and other reserves as part of shareholders' equity, with the exception of interest calculated using effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized directly in profit and loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit and loss when the Group's right to receive payment is established. When the investment is disposed of, the related accumulated fair value changes are released from shareholders' equity and recognized in the income statement. The weighted average method is used when determining the cost-basis of publicly listed equities being disposed of. FIFO (First-in First-out) method is used to determine the cost basis of fixed income securities being disposed of. An impairment is recorded when the carrying amount of an availablefor-sale investment is greater than the estimated fair value and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired including but not limited to counterparty default and other factors causing a reduction in value that can be considered permanent. The cumulative net loss relating to that investment is removed from equity and recognized in the income statement for the period. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the investment in a non-equity instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the loss was recognized, the loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal included in the income statement.
Investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets
The investments at fair value through profit and loss, liquid assets include highly liquid financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. For investments designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the following criteria must be met: (1) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or recognizing gains or losses on a different basis; or (2) the assets are part of a group of financial assets, which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
These investments are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are remeasured at fair value. Fair value adjustments and realized gain and loss are recognized in the income statement.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable include loans to customers and suppliers and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Loans are subject to regular and thorough review as to their collectability and as to available collateral; in the event that any loan is deemed not fully recoverable, a provision is made to reflect the shortfall between the carrying amount and the present value of the expected cash flows. Interest income on loans receivable is recognized by applying the effective interest rate. The long term portion of loans receivable is included on the statement of financial position under long-term loans receivable and the current portion under current portion of long-term loans receivable.
Bank and cash
Bank and cash consist of cash at bank and in hand.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the original amount due from customers, which is considered to be fair value, less allowances for doubtful accounts based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts including an analysis of historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Bad debts are written off when identified as uncollectible, and are included within other operating expenses.
Financial liabilities
Loans payable
Loans payable are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Any difference between the fair value and the proceeds received is recognized in profit and loss at initial recognition. In the subsequent periods, they are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The long term portion of loans payable is included on the statement of financial position under long-term interest-bearing liabilities and the current portion under current portion of long-term loans.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable are carried at the original invoiced amount, which is considered to be fair value due to the short-term nature.
Derivative financial instruments
All derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss varies according to whether the derivatives are designated and qualify under hedge accounting or not. Generally the cash flows of a hedge are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows as the underlying hedged items relate to company's operating activities. When a derivative contract is accounted for as a hedge of an
identifiable position relating to financing or investing activities, the cash flows of the contract are classified in the same manner as the cash flows of the position being hedged.
Derivatives not designated in hedge accounting relationships carried at fair value through profit and loss
Fair values of forward rate agreements, interest rate options, futures contracts and exchange traded options are calculated based on quoted market rates at each balance sheet date. Discounted cash flow analyses are used to value interest rate and currency swaps. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in the income statement.
Fair values of cash settled equity derivatives are calculated based on quoted market rates at each balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement.
Forward foreign exchange contracts are valued at the market forward exchange rates. Changes in fair value are measured by comparing these rates with the original contract forward rate. Currency options are valued at each balance sheet date by using the Garman & Kohlhagen option valuation model. Changes in the fair value on these instruments are recognized in the income statement.
For the derivatives not designated under hedge accounting but hedging identifiable exposures such as anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases, the gains and losses are recognized within other operating income or expenses. The gains and losses on all other hedges not designated under hedge accounting are recognized under financial income and expenses.
Embedded derivatives are identified and monitored by the Group and fair valued as at each balance sheet date. In assessing the fair value of embedded derivatives, the Group employs a variety of methods including option pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis using assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. The fair value changes are recognized in the income statement.
Hedge accounting
Cash flow hedges: Hedging of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases
The Group applies hedge accounting for "Qualifying hedges". Qualifying hedges are those properly documented cash flow hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of future anticipated foreign currency denominated sales and purchases that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39. The cash flow being hedged must be "highly probable" and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss. The hedge must be highly effective both prospectively and retrospectively.
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of certain forward foreign exchange contracts and options, or option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid, and where the critical terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are the same and where the nominal amount of the sold option component is no greater than that of the bought option.
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards the change in fair value that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders' equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. For qualifying foreign exchange options, or option strategies, the change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders' equity to the extent that the hedge is effective. In all cases the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the profit and loss account as financial income and expenses. Hedging costs, expressed either as the change in fair value that reflects the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates for forward foreign exchange contracts, or changes in the time value for options, or options strategies, are recognized within other operating income or expenses.
Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released from shareholders' equity into the income statement as adjustments to sales and cost of sales, in the period when the hedged cash flow affects the income statement. If the hedged cash flow is no longer expected to take place, all deferred gains or losses are released immediately into the profit and loss account as adjustments to sales and cost of sales. If the hedged cash flow ceases to be highly probable, but is still expected to take place, accumulated gains and losses remain in equity until the hedged cash flow affects the income statement.
Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized immediately in the income statement. The fair value changes of derivative instruments that directly relate to normal business operations are recognized within other operating income and expenses. The fair value changes from all other derivative instruments are recognized in financial income and expenses.
Cash flow hedges: Hedging of foreign currency risk of highly probable business acquisitions and other transactions
The Group hedges the cash flow variability due to foreign currency risk inherent in highly probable business acquisitions and other future transactions that result in the recognition of non-financial assets. When those non-financial assets are recognized in the balance sheet the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial acquisition cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in the profit and loss as a result of goodwill assessments in case of business acquisitions and through depreciation in case of other assets. In order to apply for hedge accounting, the forecasted transactions must be highly probable and the hedges must be highly effective prospectively and retrospectively.
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency denominated loans, and options, or option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid, and where the terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are the same.
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in fair value that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders' equity. The change in fair value that reflects the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates is recognized in the profit and loss account within financial income and expenses. For qualifying foreign exchange options the change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders' equity. Changes in the time value are at all times recognized directly in the profit and loss account as financial income and expenses. In all cases the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement as financial income and expenses.
Cash flow hedges: Hedging of cash flow variability on variable rate liabilities
The Group applies cash flow hedge accounting for hedging cash flow variability on variable rate liabilities. The effective portion of the gain or loss relating to interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is deferred in shareholders' equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement as financial income and expenses.
Fair value hedges
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting with the objective to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in the fair value of interest-bearing liabilities due to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged liabilities attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in the income statement within financial income and expenses.
If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, hedge accounting ceases and any fair value adjustments made to the carrying amount of the hedged item during the periods the hedge was effective are amortized to profit or loss based on the effective interest method.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
The Group also applies hedge accounting for its foreign currency hedging on net investments.
Qualifying hedges are those properly documented hedges of the foreign exchange rate risk of foreign currency denominated net investments that meet the requirements set out in IAS 39. The hedge must be effective both prospectively and retrospectively.
The Group claims hedge accounting in respect of forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency denominated loans, and options, or option strategies, which have zero net premium or a net premium paid, and where the terms of the bought and sold options within a collar or zero premium structure are the same.
For qualifying foreign exchange forwards, the change in fair value that reflects the change in spot exchange rates is deferred in shareholders' equity. The change in fair value that reflects the change in forward exchange rates less the change in spot exchange rates is recognized in the profit and loss account within financial income and expenses. For qualifying foreign exchange options the change in intrinsic value is deferred in shareholders' equity. Changes in the time value are at all times recognized directly in the profit and loss account as financial income and expenses. If a foreign currency denominated loan is used as a hedge, all foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the transaction are recognized in shareholders' equity. In all cases the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement as financial income and expenses.
Accumulated fair value changes from qualifying hedges are released from shareholders' equity into the income statement only if the legal entity in the given country is sold, liquidated, repays its share capital or is abandoned.
Income taxes
The tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current taxes are based on the results of the Group companies and are calculated according to local tax rules. Taxes are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in the other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. When circumstances indicate it is no longer probable that deferred tax assets will be utilized they are assessed for realizability and adjusted as necessary. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that arise between the fair value and tax base of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset for presentation purposes when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
The enacted or substantially enacted tax rates as of each balance sheet date that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled are used in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as an asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses the adequacy of its preexisting provisions and adjusts the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future estimates.
Warranty provisions
The Group provides for the estimated liability to repair or replace products under warranty at the time revenue is recognized. The provision is an estimate calculated based on historical experience of the level of repairs and replacements.
Intellectual property rights (IPR) provisions
The Group provides for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of potential infringement.
Tax provisions
The Group recognizes a provision for tax contingencies based upon the estimated future settlement amount at each balance sheet date.
Restructuring provisions
The Group provides for the estimated cost to restructure when a detailed formal plan of restructuring has been completed and the restructuring plan has been announced.
Other provisions
The Group recognizes the estimated liability for noncancellable purchase commitments for inventory in excess of forecasted requirements at each balance sheet date.
The Group provides for onerous contracts based on the lower of the expected cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract.
Share-based compensation
The Group offers three types of global equity settled share-based compensation schemes for employees: stock options, performance shares and restricted shares. Employee services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as of the date of grant, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions attached to the performance shares are included in assumptions about the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive. On a regular basis, the Group reviews the assumptions made and, where necessary, revises its estimates of the number of performance shares that are expected to be settled. Share-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the income statement over the service period. A separate vesting period is defined for each quarterly
lot of the stock options plans. When stock options are exercised, the proceeds received net of any transaction costs are credited to share issue premium and the reserve for invested non-restricted equity.
Treasury shares
The Group recognizes acquired treasury shares as a deduction from equity at their acquisition cost. When cancelled, the acquisition cost of treasury shares is recognized in retained earnings.
Dividends
Dividends proposed by the Board of Directors are not recorded in the financial statements until they have been approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Earnings per share
The Group calculates both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and performance shares outstanding during the period.
Use of estimates and critical accounting judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Set forth below are areas requiring significant judgment and estimation that may have an impact on reported results and the financial position.
Revenue recognition
Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership and effective control have ceased, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Sales may materially change if management's assessment of such criteria was determined to be inaccurate. The Group enters into transactions involving multiple components consisting of any combination of hardware, services and software. The consideration received from these transactions is allocated to each separately identifiable component based on the relative fair value of each component. The consideration allocated to each component is recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for that component have been met. Determination of the fair value for each component requires the use of estimates and judgment taking into consideration factors such as the price when the component is sold separately by the Group or the price when a similar component is sold separately by the Group or a third party, which may have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue recognition.
The Group makes price protection adjustments based on estimates of future price reductions and certain agreed customer inventories at the date of the price adjustment. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the sales in future periods.
Revenue from contracts involving solutions achieved through modification of complex telecommunications equipment is recognized on the percentage of completion basis when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Recognized revenues and profits are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. Current sales and profit estimates for projects may materially change due to the early stage of a longterm project, new technology, changes in the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers' plans, realization of penalties, and other corresponding factors.
Customer financing
The Group has provided a limited number of customer financing arrangements and agreed extended payment terms with selected customers. Should the actual financial position of the customers or general economic conditions differ from assumptions, the ultimate collectability of such financings and trade credits may be required to be re-assessed, which could result in a write-off of these balances and thus negatively impact profits in future periods. The Group endeavors to mitigate this risk through the transfer of its rights to the cash collected from these arrangements to third party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis in exchange for an upfront cash payment.
Allowances for doubtful accounts
The Group maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods.
Inventory-related allowances
The Group periodically reviews inventory for excess amounts, obsolescence and declines in market value below cost and records an allowance against the inventory balance for any such declines. These reviews require management to estimate future demand for products. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future periods.
Warranty provisions
The Group provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Group's warranty provision is established based upon best estimates of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of each balance sheet date. As new products incorporating complex technologies are continuously introduced, and as local laws, regulations and practices may change, changes in these estimates could result in additional allowances or changes to recorded allowances being required in future periods.
Provision for intellectual property rights, or IPR, infringements
The Group provides for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of potential infringement. IPR infringement claims can last for varying periods of time, resulting in irregular movements in the IPR infringement provision. The ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling an individual infringement may materially vary from estimates.
Legal contingencies
Legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending or threatened in various jurisdictions against the Group. Provisions are recorded for pending litigation when it is determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.
Capitalized development costs
The Group capitalizes certain development costs when it is probable that a development project will generate future economic benefits and certain criteria, including commercial and technological feasibility, have been met. Should a product fail to substantiate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, material development costs may be required to be written-off in future periods.
Business combinations
The Group applies the purchase method of accounting to account for acquisitions of businesses. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, equity instruments issued and costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over our interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various valuation assumptions requiring management judgment. Actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material. See also Note 8.
Assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill
The recoverable amounts for long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill have been determined based on the expected future cash flows attributable to the asset or cash-generating unit discounted to present value. The key assumptions applied in the determination of recoverable amount include the discount rate, length of the explicit forecast period and estimated growth rates, profit margins and level of operational and capital investment. Amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future. See also Note 7.
Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted equities, currency options and embedded derivatives) are determined using various valuation techniques. The Group uses judgment to select an appropriate valuation methodology as well as underlying assumptions based on existing market practice and conditions. Changes in these assumptions may cause the Group to recognize impairments or losses in future periods.
Income taxes
Management judgment is required in determining income tax expense, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. When circumstances indicate it is no longer probable that deferred tax assets will be utilized they are assessed for realizability and adjusted as necessary. If the final outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recorded, differences may impact the income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
Pensions
The determination of pension benefit obligation and expense for defined benefit pension plans is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in future compensation levels. A portion of plan assets is invested in equity securities which are subject to equity market volatility. Changes in assumptions and actuarial conditions may materially affect the pension obligation and future expense. See also Note 5.
Share-based compensation
The Group operates various types of equity settled share-based compensation schemes for employees. Fair value of stock options is based on certain assumptions, including, among others, expected volatility and expected life of the options. Non-market vesting conditions attached to performance shares are included in assumptions about the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive relating to projections of net sales and earnings per share. Significant differences in equity market performance, employee option activity and the Group's projected and actual net sales and earnings per share performance, may materially affect future expense. See also Note 23.
New accounting pronouncements under IFRS
The Group will adopt the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by the IASB that are expected to be relevant to its operations:
IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations replaces IFRS 3 (as issued in 2004). The main changes brought by IFRS 3 (revised) include clarification of the definition of a business, immediate recognition of all acquisition-related costs in profit or loss, recognition of subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration in accordance with other IFRSs and measurement of goodwill arising from step acquisitions at the acquisition date.
IAS 27 (revised), "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" clarifies presentation of changes in parent-subsidiary ownership. Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control must be accounted for exclusively within equity. If a parent loses control of a subsidiary it shall derecognize the consolidated assets and liabilities, and any investment retained in the former subsidiary shall be recognized at fair value at the date when control is lost. Any differences resulting from this shall be recognized in profit or loss. When losses attributed to the minority (noncontrolling) interests exceed the minority's interest in the subsidiary's equity, these losses shall be allocated to the non-controlling interests even if this results in a deficit balance.
IFRS 9 will change the classification, measurement and impairment of financial instruments based on our objectives for the related contractual cash flows.
Amendments to IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11 clarify that an entity that receives goods or services in a share-based payment arrangement should account for those goods or services no matter which entity in the group settles the transaction, and no matter whether the transaction is settled in shares or cash.
Amendment to IAS 32 requires that if rights issues offered are issued pro rata to entity's all existing shareholders in the same class for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated.
Amendments to IFRIC 14 and IAS 19 address the circumstances when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendment permits such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset.
IFRIC 19 clarifies the requirements when an entity renegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept the entity's equity instruments to settle the financial liability fully or partially. The entity's equity instruments issued to a creditor are part of the consideration paid to extinguish the financial liability and the issued instruments should be measured at their fair value.
In addition, there a number of other amendments that form part of the IASB's annual improvement project which will be adopted by the Group on January 1, 2010.
The Group will adopt IFRS 3 (revised), IAS 27 (revised) and the amendments to IFRS 2 and IFRIC 11, IFRIC 14 and IAS 19 and IAS 32 as well as the additional amendments that form part of the IASB's annual improvement project on January 1, 2010. IFRIC 19 will be adopted on January 1, 2011. The Group does not expect that the adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments will have a material impact on the financial condition and results of operations.
The Group is required to adopt IFRS 9 by January 1, 2013 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on the Group's accounts.
2. Segment information
Nokia is organized on a worldwide basis into three operating and reportable segments: Devices & Services, NAVTEQ, and Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia's reportable segments represent the strategic business units that offer different products and services for which monthly financial information is provided to the chief operating decision maker.
As of January 1, 2008, the Group's three mobile device business groups and the supporting horizontal groups have been replaced by an integrated business segment, Devices & Services. Commencing with the third quarter 2008, NAVTEQ is also a reportable segment. Prior period results for Nokia and its reportable segments have been regrouped for comparability purposes according to the new reportable segments effective in 2008.
Devices & Services is responsible for developing and managing the Group's portfolio of mobile devices, services and their combinations as well as designing and developing services, applications and content. Devices & Services also manages our supply chains, sales channels, brand and marketing activities, and explores corporate strategic and future growth opportunities for Nokia.
NAVTEQ is a leading provider of comprehensive digital map information and related location-based content and services for automotive navigation systems and mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, and government and business solutions.
Nokia Siemens Networks provides mobile and fixed network solutions and related services to operators and service providers.
Corporate Common Functions consists of company wide functions.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Nokia accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. Nokia evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit.
No single customer represents 10% or more of Group revenues.

5. Pensions
The Group operates a number of post-employment plans in various countries. These plans include both defined contribution and defined benefit schemes.
The Group's most significant defined benefit pension plans are in Germany and in the UK. The majority of active employees in Germany participate in a pension scheme which is designed according to the Beitragsorientierte Siemens Altersversorgung (BSAV). The funding vehicle for the BSAV is the NSN Pension Trust. In Germany, individual benefits are generally dependent on eligible compensation levels, ranking within the Group and years of service.
The majority of active employees in Nokia UK participate in a pension scheme which is designed according to the Scheme Trust Deeds and Rules and is compliant with the Guidelines of the UK Pension Regulator. The funding vehicle for the pension scheme is Nokia Group (UK) Pension Scheme Ltd which is run on a Trust basis. In the UK, individual benefits are generally dependent on eligible compensation levels and years of service for the defined benefit section of the scheme and on individual investment choices for the defined contribution section of the scheme.
In prior years, the Group had a significant pension plan in Finland. Prior to March 1, 2008, the reserved benefits portion of the Finnish state Employees' Pension Act (TyEL) system, that was pre-funded through a trustee-administered Nokia Pension Foundation, was accounted for as a defined benefit plan. As of March 1, 2008 the Finnish statutory pension liability and plan related assets of Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks were transferred to two pension insurance companies. The transfer did not affect the number of employees covered by the plan nor did it affect the current employees' entitlement to pension benefits.
At the transfer date, the Group has not retained any direct or indirect obligation to pay employee benefits relating to employee service in current, prior or future periods. Thus, the Group has treated the transfer of the Finnish statutory pension liability and plan assets as a settlement of the Group's TyEL defined benefit plan. From the date of transfer onwards, the Group has accounted for the TyEL plan as a defined contribution plan. The transfer resulted in EUR 152 million loss consisting of a EUR 217 million loss impacting Common Group Functions and a EUR 65 million gain impacting Nokia Siemens Networks operating profit. These are included in the other operating income and expense, see Note 6. Subsequent to the transfer of the Finnish statutory pension liability and plan assets, the Group retains only certain immaterial voluntary defined benefit pension liabilities in Finland.
The following table sets forth the changes in the benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets during the year and the funded status of the significant defined benefit pension plans showing the amounts that are recognized in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position at December 31:

| Surplus (+)/deficit (–) | –81 | –8 | –92 | –168 | –109 |
Experience adjustments arising on plan obligations amount to a loss of EUR 12 million in 2009 (gain of EUR 50 million in 2008, a loss of EUR 31 million in 2007 and EUR 25 million in 2006). Experience adjustments arising on plan assets amount to a gain of EUR 54 million in 2009 (a loss of EUR 22 million in 2008, EUR 3 million in 2007 and EUR 11 million in 2006).
The principal actuarial weighted average assumptions used were as follows:
| % | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate for determining present values | 5.3 | 5.8 |
| Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets | 5.4 | 5.7 |
| Annual rate of increase in future compensation levels | 2.8 | 2.7 |
| Pension increases | 2.0 | 1.9 |
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the expected return multiplied with the respective percentage weight of the market-related value of plan assets. The expected return is defined on a uniform basis, reflecting longterm historical returns, current market conditions and strategic asset allocation.
The Groups's pension plan weighted average asset allocation as a percentage of Plan Assets at December 31, 2009, and 2008, by asset category are as follows:
| % | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Asset category: | ||
| Equity securities | 21 | 12 |
| Debt securities | 65 | 72 |
| Insurance contracts | 8 | 8 |
| Real estate | 1 | 1 |
| Short-term investments | 5 | 7 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
The objective of the investment activities is to maximize the excess of plan assets over projected benefit obligations, within an accepted risk level, taking into account the interest rate and inflation sensitivity of the assets as well as the obligations.
The Pension Committee of the Group, consisting of the Head of Treasury, Head of HR and other HR representatives, approves both the target asset allocation as well as the deviation limit. Derivative instruments can be used to change the portfolio asset allocation and risk characteristics.
The foreign pension plan assets include a self investment through a loan provided to Nokia by the Group's German pension fund of EUR 69 million (EUR 69 million in 2008). See Note 30.
The actual return on plan assets was EUR 126 million in 2009 (EUR 31 million in 2008).
In 2010, the Group expects to make contributions of EUR 69 million to its defined benefit pension plans.
6. Other operating income and expenses
Other operating income for 2009 includes a gain on sale of security appliance business of EUR 68 million impacting Devices & Services operating profit and a gain on sale of real estate in Oulu, Finland, of EUR 22 million impacting Nokia Siemens Networks operating loss. In 2009, other operating expenses includes EUR 178 million of charges related to restructuring activities in Devices & Services due to measures taken to adjust the business operations and cost base according to market conditions. In conjunction with the decision to refocus its activities around specified core assets, Devices & Services recorded impairment charges totalling EUR 56 million for intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of Enpocket and Intellisync and the asset acquisition of Twango.
In 2008, other operating expenses include EUR 152 million net loss on transfer of Finnish pension liabilities, of which a gain of EUR 65 million is included in Nokia Siemens Networks' operating profit and a loss of EUR 217 million in Corporate Common expenses. Devices & Services recorded EUR 259 million of restructuring charges and EUR 81 million of impairment and other charges related to closure of the Bochum site in Germany. Other operating expenses also include a charge of EUR 52 million related to other restructuring activities in Devices & Services and EUR 49 million charges related to restructuring and other costs in Nokia Siemens Networks.
Other operating income for 2007 includes a non-taxable gain of EUR 1 879 million relating to the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks. Other operating income also includes gain on sale of real estates in Finland of EUR 128 million, of which EUR 75 million is included in Common functions' operating profit and EUR 53 million in Nokia Siemens Networks' operating profit. In addition, a gain on business transfer EUR 53 million impacted Common functions' operating profit. In 2007, other operating expenses includes EUR 58 million in charges related to restructuring costs in Nokia Siemens Networks. Devices & Services recorded a charge of EUR 17 million for personnel expenses and other costs as a result of more focused R&D. Devices & Services also recorded restructuring costs of EUR 35 million primarily related to restructuring of a subsidiary company.
In all three years presented, "Other operating income and expenses" include the costs of hedging highly probable forecasted sales and purchases (forward points of cash flow hedges). As from 2009, on the same line are included also the fair value changes of derivatives hedging identifiable and probable forecasted cash flows.

Capitalized development costs
In 2009 and 2008, the Group did not recognize any impairment charge on capitalized development costs. During 2007, Nokia Siemens Networks recorded an impairment charge on capitalized development costs of EUR 27 million. The impairment loss was determined as the full carrying amount of the capitalized development programs costs related to products that will not be included in future product portfolios. This impairment amount is included within research and development expenses in the consolidated income statement.
Goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units (CGU) for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The Group has allocated goodwill to three cash-generating units, which correspond to the Group's operating and reportable segments: Devices & Services CGU, Nokia Siemens Networks CGU and NAVTEQ CGU.
The recoverable amounts for the Devices & Services CGU and the NAVTEQ CGU are based on value in use calculations. The cash flow projections employed in the value in use calculation are based on financial plans approved by management. These projections are consistent with external sources of information, wherever available. Cash flows beyond the explicit forecast period are extrapolated using an estimated terminal growth rate that does not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the industry and economies in which the CGU operates.
The recoverable amount for the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU is based on fair value less costs to sell. A discounted cash flow calculation was used to estimate the fair value less costs to sell of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. The cash flow projections employed in the discounted cash flow calculation have been determined by management based on the best information available to reflect the amount that an entity could obtain from the disposal of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal.
During 2009, the conditions in the world economy have shown signs of improvement as countries have begun to emerge from the global economic downturn. However, significant uncertainty exists regarding the speed, timing and resiliency of the global economic recovery and this uncertainty is reflected in the impairment testing for each of the Group's CGUs.
Goodwill amounting to EUR 1 227 million was allocated to the Devices & Services CGU. The impairment testing has been carried out based on management's expectation of stable market share and normalized profit margins in the medium to long term. The goodwill impairment testing conducted for the Devices & Services CGU for the year ended December 31, 2009 did not result in any impairment charges.
In the third quarter of 2009, the Group recorded an impairment loss of EUR 908 million to reduce the carrying amount of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss was allocated in its entirety to the carrying amount of goodwill arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and from subsequent acquisitions completed by Nokia Siemens Networks. This impairment loss is presented as impairment of goodwill in the consolidated income statement. As a result of the impairment loss, the amount of goodwill allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has been reduced to zero.
The recoverability of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has declined as a result of a decline in forecasted profits and cash flows. The Group evaluated the historical and projected financial performance of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU taking into consideration the challenging competitive factors and market conditions in the infrastructure and related services business. As a result of this evaluation, the Group lowered its net sales and gross margin projections for the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. This reduction in the projected scale of the business had a negative impact on the projected profits and cash flows of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU.
Goodwill amounting to EUR 3 944 million has been allocated to the NAVTEQ CGU. The impairment testing has been carried out based on management's assessment of the financial performance and future strategies of the NAVTEQ CGU in light of current and expected market and economic conditions. The goodwill impairment testing conducted for the NAVTEQ CGU for the year ended December 31, 2009 did not result in any impairment charges. The recoverable amount of the NAVTEQ CGU is between 5–10% higher than its carrying amount. The Group has concluded that a reasonably possible change of 1% in the valuation assumptions for long-term growth rate or discount rate would give rise to an impairment loss.
The key assumptions applied in the impairment testing analysis for each CGU are presented in the table below:
| Cash-generating unit | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Devices & Services |
Nokia Siemens Networks |
||||
| % | % | % | |||
| Terminal growth rate | 2.00 | 1.00 | 5.00 | ||
| Post-tax discount rate | 8.86 | 9.95 | 10.00 | ||
| Pre-tax discount rate | 11.46 | 13.24 | 12.60 |
The Group has applied consistent valuation methodologies for each of the Group's CGUs for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. The discount rates applied in the impairment testing for each CGU have been determined independently of capital structure reflecting current assessments of the time value of money and relevant market risk premiums. Risk premiums included in the determination of the discount rate reflect risks and uncertainties for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. Overall, the discount rates applied in the 2009 impairment testing have decreased in line with declining interest rates and narrowing credit spreads.
The goodwill impairment testing conducted for each of the Group's CGUs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 did not result in any impairment charges.
Other intangible assets
In conjunction with the Group's decision to refocus its activities around specified core assets, the Group recorded impairment charges in 2009 totalling EUR 56 million for intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of Enpocket and Intellisync and the asset acquisition of Twango. The impairment charge was recognised in other operating expense and is included in the Devices & Services segment. In connection with the decline in the Group's profit and cash flow projections of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU, the Group conducted an assessment of the carrying amount of the identifiable intangible assets arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks concluding that such carrying amount was recoverable.
Property, plant and equipment and inventories
In 2008, resulting from the Group's decision to discontinue the production of mobile devices in Germany, an impairment loss was recognised amounting to EUR 55 million. The impairment loss related to the closure and sale of production facilities at Bochum, Germany and is included in the Devices & Services segment.
In 2008, Nokia Siemens Networks recognised an impairment loss amounting to EUR 35 million relating to the sale of its manufacturing site in Durach, Germany. The impairment loss was determined as the excess of the book value of transferring assets over the fair value less costs to sell for the transferring assets. The impairment loss was allocated to property, plant and equipment and inventories.
Investments in associated companies
After application of the equity method, including recognition of the associate's losses, the Group determined that recognition of an impairment loss of EUR 19 million in 2009 (EUR 8 million in 2008, EUR 7 million in 2007) was necessary to adjust the Group's net investment in the associate to its recoverable amount.
Available-for-sale investments
The Group's investment in certain equity securities held as non-current availablefor-sale suffered a permanent decline in fair value resulting in an impairment charge of EUR 25 million in 2009 (EUR 43 million in 2008, EUR 29 million in 2007).
8. Acquisitions
Acquisitions completed in 2009
During 2009, the Group completed five acquisitions that did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The purchase consideration paid and the total goodwill arising from these acquisitions amounted to EUR 29 million and EUR 32 million, respectively. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions is attributable to assembled workforce and post acquisition synergies.

The goodwill of EUR 3 673 million has been allocated to the NAVTEQ segment. The goodwill is attributable to assembled workforce and the synergies expected to arise subsequent to the acquisition including acceleration of the Group's internet services strategy. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Symbian
On December 2, 2008, the Group completed its acquisition of 52.1% of the outstanding common stock of Symbian Ltd. As a result of this acquisition, the Group's total ownership interest has increased from 47.9% to 100% of the outstanding common stock of Symbian. A UK-based software licensing company, Symbian developed and licensed Symbian OS, the market-leading open operating system for mobile phones. The acquisition of Symbian is a fundamental step in the establishment of the Symbian Foundation.
The Group contributed the Symbian OS and S60 software to the Symbian Foundation for the purpose of creating a unified mobile software platform with a common UI framework. The goal of the Symbian Foundation is to extend the appeal of the platform among all partners, including developers, mobile operators, content and service providers and device manufacturers. The unified platform will promote innovation and accelerate the availability of new services and experiences for consumers and business users around the world. A full platform was available for all Foundation members under a royalty-free license, from the Foundation's first day of operations.
The acquisition of Symbian was achieved in stages through successive share purchases at various times from the formation of the company. Thus, the amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition has been determined via a step-by-step comparison of the cost of the individual investments in Symbian with the acquired interest in the fair values of Symbian's identifiable net assets at each stage. Revaluation of the Group's previously held interests in Symbian's identifiable net assets is recognised as a revaluation surplus in equity. Application of the equity method has been reversed such that the carrying amount of the Group's previously held interests in Symbian have been adjusted to cost. The Group's share of changes in Symbian's equity balances after each stage is included in equity.
The total cost of the acquisition was EUR 641 million consisting of cash paid of EUR 435 million, costs directly attributable to the acquisition of EUR 6 million and investments in Symbian from previous exchange transactions of EUR 200 million.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

The goodwill of EUR 470 million has been allocated to the Devices & Services segment. The goodwill is attributable to assembled workforce and the significant benefits that the Group expects to realise from the Symbian Foundation. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The contribution of the Symbian OS and S60 software to the Symbian Foundation has been accounted for as a retirement. Thus, the Group has recognised a loss on retirement of EUR 165 million consisting of EUR 55 million book value of Symbian identifiable intangible assets and EUR 110 million book value of capitalised S60 development costs.
For NAVTEQ and Symbian, the Group has included net losses of EUR 155 million and EUR 52 million, respectively, in the consolidated profit and loss. The following table depicts pro forma net sales and operating profit of the combined entity as though the acquisition of NAVTEQ and Symbian had occurred on January 1, 2008:
| Pro forma (unaudited), EURm | 2008 |

| Net sales | 51 063 |
| Net profit | 4 080 |
During 2008, the Group completed five additional acquisitions. The total purchase consideration paid and the total goodwill arising from these acquisitions amounted to EUR 514 million and EUR 339 million, respectively. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions is attributable to assembled workforce and post acquisition synergies.

Acquisitions completed in 2007
The Group and Siemens AG (Siemens) completed a transaction to form Nokia Siemens Networks on April 1, 2007. Nokia and Siemens contributed to Nokia Siemens Networks certain tangible and intangible assets and certain business interests that comprised Nokia's networks business and Siemens' carrier-related operations. This transaction combined the worldwide mobile and fixed-line telecommunications network equipment businesses of Nokia and Siemens. Nokia and Siemens each own approximately 50% of Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia has the ability to appoint key officers and the majority of the members of the Board of Directors. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, Nokia is deemed to have control and thus consolidates the results of Nokia Siemens Networks in its financial statements.
The transfer of Nokia's networks business was treated as a partial sale to the minority shareholders of Nokia Siemens Networks. Accordingly, the Group recognised a non-taxable gain on the partial sale amounting to EUR 1 879 million. The gain was determined as the Group's ownership interest relinquished for the difference between the fair value contributed, representing the consideration received, and book value of the net assets contributed by the Group to Nokia Siemens Networks. Upon closing of the transaction, Nokia and Siemens contributed net assets with book values amounting to EUR 1 742 million and EUR 2 385 million, respectively. The Group's contributed networks business was valued at EUR 5 500 million. In addition, the Group incurred costs directly attributable to the acquisition of EUR 51 million.
The table below presents the reported results of Nokia Networks prior to the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and the reported results of Nokia Siemens Networks since inception.

It is not practicable to determine the results of the Siemens' carrier-related operations for the three month period of January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007 as Siemens did not report those operations separately. As a result pro forma revenues and operating profit as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2007 have not been presented.

The goodwill of EUR 803 million has been allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks segment. The goodwill is attributable to assembled workforce and the synergies expected to arise subsequent to the acquisition. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The amount of the loss specifically attributable to the business acquired from Siemens since the acquisition date included in the Group's profit for the period has not been disclosed as it is not practicable to do so. This is due to the ongoing integration of the acquired Siemens' carrier-related operations and Nokia's networks business, and management's focus on the operations and results of the combined entity, Nokia Siemens Networks.
During 2007, the Group completed the acquisition of the following three companies. The purchase consideration paid and goodwill arising from these acquisitions was not material to the Group.
- » Enpocket Inc., based in Boston, USA, a global leader in mobile advertising providing technology and services that allow brands to plan, create, execute, measure and optimise mobile advertising campaigns around the world. The Group acquired 100% ownership interest in Enpocket Inc. on October 5, 2007.
- » Avvenu Inc., based in Palo Alto, USA, provides internet services that allow anyone to use their mobile devices to securely access, use and share personal computer files. The Group acquired 100% ownership interest in Avvenu Inc. on December 5, 2007.
» Twango, provides a comprehensive media sharing solution for organising and sharing photos, videos and other personal media. The Group acquired substantially all assets of Twango on July 25, 2007.

During 2008, interest expense has increased significantly due to increase in interestbearing liabilities mainly related to NAVTEQ acquisition. Foreign exchange gains (or losses) have increased due to higher cost of hedging and increased volatility on the foreign exchange market. During 2009, interest income has decreased significantly due to lower interest rates and interest expense has increased given higher longterm funding with higher cost.

The current fixed income and money-market investments included available-forsale liquid assets of EUR 2 367 million (EUR 1 272 million in 2008) and cash equivalents of EUR 4 784 million (EUR 3 842 million in 2008). See Note 33, section Financial Credit Risk, for details on fixed income and money-market investments.
For information about the valuation of items measured at fair value see Note 1.
In the tables above fair value is set to carrying amount for other available-forsale investments carried at cost less impairment for which no reliable fair value has been possible to estimate.
The fair value of loan receivables and payables is estimated based on the current market values of similar instruments. Fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount for short-term financial assets and financial liabilities due to limited credit risk and short time to maturity.
The amount of change in the fair value of investments designated at fair value through profit and loss attributable to changes in the credit risk of the assets was deemed inconsequential during 2009. Fair value changes that are attributable to changes in market conditions are calculated based on relevant benchmark interest rates.
Note 16 includes the split of hedge accounted and non-hedge accounted derivatives.
The following table presents the valuation methods used to determine fair values of financial instruments carried at fair value:
| At December 31, 2009, EURm | Instruments with quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) |
Valuation technique using observable data (Level 2) |
Valuation technique using non- observable data (Level 3) |

| Total liabilities | — | 245 | — | 245 |
Level 1 category includes financial assets and liabilities that are measured in whole or in significant part by reference to published quotes in an active market. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. This category includes listed bonds and other securities, listed shares and exchange traded derivatives.
Level 2 category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions. These include assets and liabilities for which pricing is obtained via pricing services, but where prices have not been determined in an active market, financial assets with fair values based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using the Group's own valuation models whereby the material assumptions are market observable. The majority of Group's over-the-counter derivatives and several other instruments not traded in active markets fall within this category.
Level 3 category includes financial assets and liabilities measured using valuation techniques based on non market observable inputs. This means that fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, to estimate an exit price from the perspective of the Group. The main asset classes in this category are unlisted equity investments as well as unlisted funds.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the opening and closing recorded amount of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value:
| EURm | Other available- for-sale investments carried at fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2008 | 214 | |

The gains and losses from Level 3 financial instruments are included in the line other operating expenses of the profit and loss for the period. A net loss of EUR 14 million related to Level 3 financial instruments held at December 31, 2009, was included in the profit and loss during 2009.

1 The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included on the asset side under heading Other financial assets and on the liability side under Other financial liabilities.
2 Includes the gross amount of all notional values for contracts that have not yet been settled or cancelled. The amount of notional value outstanding is not necessarily a measure or indication of market risk, as the exposure of certain contracts may be offset by that of other contracts.
3 Cash settled equity options are used to hedge risk relating to employee incentive programs and investment activities.
4 These cross-currency interest rate swaps have been designated partly as fair value hedges and partly as cash flow hedges.

18. Prepaid expenses and accrued income
Prepaid expenses and accrued income totalled EUR 4 551 million (EUR 4 538 million in 2008).
In 2009, prepaid expenses and accrued income included advance payments to Qualcomm of EUR 1 264 million (1 358 million in 2008). In 2008, Nokia and Qualcomm entered into a new 15-year-agreement, under the terms of which Nokia has been granted a license to all Qualcomm's patents for the use in Nokia mobile devices and Nokia Siemens Networks infrastructure equipment. The financial structure of the agreement included an up-front payment of EUR 1.7 billion, which is amortized over the contract period and on-going royalties payable to Qualcomm. As part of the licence agreement, Nokia also assigned ownership of a number of patents to Qualcomm. These patents were valued using the income approach based on projected cash flows, on a discounted basis, over the assigned patents' estimated useful life. Based on the valuation and underlying assumptions Nokia determined that the fair value of these patents were not material.
In addition, prepaid expenses and accrued income primarily consists of VAT and other tax receivables. Prepaid expenses and accrued income also include prepaid pension costs, accrued interest income and other accrued income, but no amounts which are individually significant.

The presentation of the "Fair value and other reserves" footnote has been changed to correspond with the presentation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
In order to ensure that amounts deferred in the cash flow hedging reserve represent only the effective portion of gains and losses on properly designated hedges of future transactions that remain highly probable at the balance sheet date, Nokia has adopted a process under which all derivative gains and losses are initially recognized in the profit and loss account. The appropriate reserve balance is calculated at the end of each period and posted to the fair value and other reserves.
The Group continuously reviews the underlying cash flows and the hedges allocated thereto, to ensure that the amounts transferred to the fair value reserves during the year ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 do not include gains/losses on forward exchange contracts that have been designated to hedge forecasted sales or purchases that are no longer expected to occur.
All of the net fair value gains or losses recorded in the fair value and other reserve at December 31, 2009 on open forward foreign exchange contracts which hedge anticipated future foreign currency sales or purchases are transferred from the Hedging Reserve to the profit and loss account when the forecasted foreign currency cash flows occur, at various dates up to approximately 1 year from the balance sheet date.

22. The shares of the Parent Company
Nokia shares and shareholders
Shares and share capital
Nokia has one class of shares. Each Nokia share entitles the holder to one vote at General Meetings of Nokia.
On December 31, 2009, the share capital of Nokia Corporation was
EUR 245 896 461.96 and the total number of shares issued was 3 744 956 052. On December 31, 2009, the total number of shares included 36 693 564 shares
owned by Group companies representing approximately 1.0% of the share capital and the total voting rights.
Under the Articles of Association of Nokia, Nokia Corporation does not have minimum or maximum share capital or a par value of a share.
Authorizations
Authorization to increase the share capital
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 3, 2007, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to issue a maximum of 800 million new shares through one or more issues of shares or special rights entitling to shares, including stock options. The Board of Directors may issue either new shares or shares held by the Company. The authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and
conditions of such issuances of shares and special rights, including to whom the shares and the special rights may be issued. The authorization is effective until June 30, 2010.
At the end of 2009, the Board of Directors had no other authorizations to issue shares, convertible bonds, warrants or stock options.
Other authorizations
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 8, 2008, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of 370 million Nokia shares by using funds in the unrestricted shareholders' equity. Nokia repurchased 71 090 000 shares under this authorization in 2008. In 2009, Nokia did not repurchase any shares on the basis of this authorization. This authorization was effective until June 30, 2009 as per the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2008, but it was terminated by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2009.
At the Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2009, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of 360 million Nokia shares by using funds in the unrestricted shareholders' equity. The amount of shares corresponds to less than 10% of all shares of the company. The shares may be repurchased under the buy-back authorization in order to develop the capital structure of the company. In addition, shares may be repurchased in order to finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, to settle the company's equity-based incentive plans, to be transferred for other purposes, or to be cancelled. Nokia has not purchased any shares based on this authorization. The authorization is effective until June 30, 2010 and the authorization terminated the authorization for repurchasing of the Company's shares resolved at the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2008.
Authorizations proposed to the Annual General Meeting 2010
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 6, 2010 that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board to resolve to repurchase a maximum of 360 million Nokia shares by using funds in the unrestricted shareholders' equity. The proposed maximum number of shares represents less than 10% of all the shares of the Company. The shares may be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the Company, finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle the Company's equity-based incentive plans, be transferred for other purposes, or be cancelled. The authorization would be effective until June 30, 2011 and terminate the current authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2009.
The Board of Directors will also propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on May 6, 2010 that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board to resolve to issue a maximum of 740 million shares through issuance of shares or special rights entitling to shares (including stock options) in one or more issues. The Board proposes that the authorization may be used to develop the Company's capital structure, diversify the shareholder base, finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle the Company's equity-based incentive plans, or for other purposes resolved by the Board. The proposed authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and conditions of the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares, including issuance in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights. The authorization would be effective until June 30, 2013 and terminate the current authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 3, 2007.
23. Share-based payment
The Group has several equity-based incentive programs for employees. The programs include performance share plans, stock option plans and restricted share plans. Both executives and employees participate in these programs.
The equity-based incentive grants are generally conditional upon continued employment as well as fulfillment of such performance, service and other conditions, as determined in the relevant plan rules.
The share-based compensation expense for all equity-based incentive awards amounted to EUR 16 million in 2009 (EUR 74 million in 2008 and EUR 228 million in 2007).
Stock options
Nokia's global stock option plans in effect for 2009, including their terms and conditions, were approved by the Annual General Meetings in the year when each plan was launched, i.e., in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one new Nokia share. The stock options are non-transferable. All of the stock options have a vesting schedule with 25% of the options vesting one year after grant and 6.25% each quarter thereafter. The stock options granted under the plans generally have a term of five years.
The exercise price of the stock options is determined at the time of grant on a quarterly basis. The exercise prices are determined in accordance with a pre-agreed schedule quarterly after the release of Nokia's periodic financial results and are based on the trade volume weighted average price of a Nokia share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki during the trading days of the first whole week of the second month of the respective calendar quarter (i.e., February, May, August or November). Exercise prices are determined on a one-week weighted average to mitigate any short term fluctuations in Nokia's share price. The determination of exercise price is defined in the terms and conditions of the stock option plan, which are approved by the shareholders at the respective Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors does not have the right to amend the above-described determination of the exercise price.
The stock option exercises are settled with newly issued Nokia shares which entitle the holder to a dividend for the financial year in which the subscription occurs. Other shareholder rights commence on the date on which the shares subscribed for are registered with the Finnish Trade Register.
Pursuant to the stock options issued under the global stock option plans, an aggregate maximum number of 22 755 509 new Nokia shares may be subscribed for, representing 0.6% of the total number of votes at December 31, 2009. During 2009, the exercise of 7 500 options resulted in the issuance of 7 500 new shares. The exercises of stock options resulted in an increase of Nokia's share capital prior to May 3, 2007. After that date the exercises of stock options have no longer resulted in an increase of the share capital as thereafter all share subscription prices are recorded in the fund for invested non-restricted equity as per a resolution by the Annual General Meeting.
There were no stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2009, which upon exercise would result in an increase of the share capital of the parent company.
The table below sets forth certain information relating to the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2009.

Nokia calculates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of the stock options is estimated at the grant date using the following assumptions:

|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted average expected dividend yield |
3.63% | 3.20% | 2.30% |
| Weighted average expected volatility |

| Expected life (years) | 3.60 | 3.55 | 3.59 |
| Weighted average share price, EUR | 10.82 | 16.97 | 18.49 |
Expected term of stock options is estimated by observing general option holder behavior and actual historical terms of Nokia stock option plans.
Expected volatility has been set by reference to the implied volatility of options available on Nokia shares in the open market and in light of historical patterns of volatility.
The following table sets forth the performance criteria of each global performance share plan.
Performance shares
The Group has granted performance shares under the global 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 plans, each of which, including its terms and conditions, has been approved by the Board of Directors. A valid authorization from the Annual General Meeting is required when the plans are to be settled by using the Nokia newly issued shares or treasury shares. The Group may also settle the plans by using cash instead of shares.
The performance shares represent a commitment by the Group to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future point in time, subject to Nokia's fulfillment of pre-defined performance criteria. No performance shares will vest unless the Group's performance reaches at least one of the threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defined performance criteria: the Group's average annual net sales growth for the performance period of the plan and earnings per share ("EPS") at the end of the performance period.
The 2005 plan had a four-year performance period with a two-year interim measurement period. The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 plans have a three-year performance period with no interim payout. The shares vest after the respective interim measurement period and/or the performance period. The shares will be delivered to the participants as soon as practicable after they vest. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with the performance shares.

3 Based on the performance of the Group during the Interim Measurement Period 2004–2005, under the 2004 Performance Share Plan, both performance criteria were met. Hence, 3 595 339 Nokia shares equaling the threshold number were delivered in 2006. The performance shares related to the interim settlement of the 2004 Performance Share Plan are included in the number of performance shares outstanding at January 1, 2007 as these performance shares were outstanding until the final settlement in 2008. The final payout, in 2008, was adjusted by the shares delivered based on the Interim Measurement Period.
There will be no settlement under the Performance Share Plan 2007 as neither of the threshold performance criteria of EPS and Average Annual Net Sales Growth of this plan was met.
Restricted shares
The Group has granted restricted shares under global plans to recruit, retain, reward and motivate selected high potential employees, who are critical to the future success of Nokia. It is Nokia's philosophy that restricted shares will be used only for key management positions and other critical talent. The outstanding global restricted share plans, including their terms and conditions, have been approved by the Board of Directors. A valid authorization from the Annual General Meeting is required when the plans are to be settled by using Nokia newly issued shares or treasury
shares. The Group may also settle the plans by using cash instead of shares. All of our restricted share plans have a restriction period of three years after

2 The fair value of restricted shares is estimated based on the grant date market price of the Company's
share less the present value of dividends, if any, expected to be paid during the vesting period.
3 Includes grants assumed under "NAVTEQ Plan" (as defined below).
Other equity plans for employees
In addition to the global equity plans described above, the Group sponsors immaterial equity plans for Nokia-acquired businesses or employees in the United States or Canada that do not result in an increase in the share capital of Nokia. These plans are settled by using Nokia shares or ADSs acquired from the market. When treasury shares are issued on exercise of stock options any gain or loss is recognized in share issue premium.
On basis of these plans the Group had 0.3 million stock options outstanding on December 31, 2009. The weighted average exercise price is USD 16.13.
In connection with our July 10, 2008 acquisition of NAVTEQ, the Group assumed NAVTEQ's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan ("NAVTEQ Plan"). All unvested NAVTEQ restricted stock units under the NAVTEQ Plan were converted to an equivalent number of restricted stock units entitling their holders to Nokia shares. The maximum number of Nokia shares to be delivered to NAVTEQ employees during the years 2008–2012 is approximately 3 million, of which approximately 1 million shares have already been delivered by December 31, 2009. The Group does not intend to make further awards under the NAVTEQ Plan.

| Current | 1 877 | 2 614 |
Outflows for the warranty provision are generally expected to occur within the next 18 months. In 2009, warranty provision decreased compared to 2008 primarily due to lower sales volumes in Devices & Services. Timing of outflows related to tax provisions is inherently uncertain. In 2009, tax provisions decreased due to the positive development and outcome of various prior year items.
The restructuring provision is mainly related to restructuring activities in Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens Networks segments. The majority of outflows related to the restructuring is expected to occur during 2010.
In 2009, Devices & Services recognized restructuring provisions of EUR 208 million mainly related to measures taken to adjust our business operations and cost base according to market conditions. In 2008, resulting from the Group's decision to discontinue the production of mobile devices in Germany, a restructuring provision of EUR 259 million was recognized. Devices & Services also recognized EUR 52 million related to other restructuring activities.
Restructuring and other associated expenses incurred in Nokia Siemens Networks in 2009 totaled EUR 310 million (EUR 646 million in 2008) including mainly personnel related expenses as well as expenses arising from the elimination of overlapping functions, and the realignment of product portfolio and related replacement of discontinued products in customer sites. These expenses included EUR 151 million (EUR 402 million in 2008) impacting gross profit, EUR 30 million (EUR 46 million in 2008) research and development expenses, EUR 12 million (reversal of provision EUR 14 million in 2008) in selling and marketing expenses, EUR 103 million (EUR 163 million in 2008) administrative expenses and EUR 14 million (EUR 49 million in 2008) other operating expenses. EUR 514 million was paid during 2009 (EUR 790 million during 2008).
Provisions for losses on projects in progress are related to Nokia Siemens Networks' onerous contracts.
The IPR provision is based on estimated future settlements for asserted and unasserted past IPR infringements. Final resolution of IPR claims generally occurs over several periods. In 2008, EUR 379 million usage of the provisions mainly relates to the settlements with Qualcomm, Eastman Kodak, Intertrust Technologies and ContentGuard.
Other provisions include provisions for non-cancelable purchase commitments, product portfolio provisions for the alignment of the product portfolio and related replacement of discontinued products in customer sites and provision for pension and other social security costs on share-based awards.

Under IAS 33, basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and performance shares outstanding during the period.
In 2009, stock options equivalent to 12 million shares (11 million in 2008) were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were determined to be anti-dilutive.

The amounts above represent the maximum principal amount of commitments and contingencies.
Property under mortgages given as collateral for our own commitments include mortgages given to the Finnish National Board of Customs as a general indemnity of EUR 18 million in 2009 (EUR 18 million in 2008).
Assets pledged for the Group's own commitments include available-for-sale investments of EUR 10 million in 2009 (EUR 10 million of available-for-sale investments in 2008).
Other guarantees include guarantees of EUR 1 013 million in 2009 (EUR 2 682 million in 2008) provided to certain Nokia Siemens Networks' customers in the form of bank guarantees or corporate guarantees issued by Nokia Siemens Networks' Group entity. These instruments entitle the customer to claim payment as compensation for non-performance by Nokia of its obligations under network infrastructure supply agreements. Depending on the nature of the guarantee, compensation is payable on demand or subject to verification of non-performance. Volume of Other guarantees has decreased due to release of certain commercial guarantees and due to exclusion of those guarantees where possibility for claim is considered as remote.
Contingent liabilities on behalf of other companies were EUR 3 million in 2009 (EUR 3 million in 2008).
Financing commitments of EUR 99 million in 2009 (EUR 197 million in 2008) are available under loan facilities negotiated mainly with Nokia Siemens Networks' customers. Availability of the amounts is dependent upon the borrower's continuing compliance with stated financial and operational covenants and compliance with other administrative terms of the facility. The loan facilities are primarily available to fund capital expenditure relating to purchases of network infrastructure equipment and services.
Venture fund commitments of EUR 293 million in 2009 (EUR 467 million in 2008) are financing commitments to a number of funds making technology related investments. As a limited partner in these funds Nokia is committed to capital contributions and also entitled to cash distributions according to respective partnership agreements.
The Group is party of routine litigation incidental to the normal conduct of business, including, but not limited to, several claims, suits and actions both initiated by third parties and initiated by Nokia relating to infringements of patents, violations of licensing arrangements and other intellectual property related matters, as well as actions with respect to products, contracts and securities. In the opinion of the management outcome of and liabilities in excess of what has been provided for related to these or other proceedings, in the aggregate, are not likely to be material to the financial condition or result of operations.
Nokia's payment obligations under the subscriber unit cross-license agreements signed in 1992 and 2001 with Qualcomm Incorporated ("Qualcomm") expired on April 9, 2007. The parties entered into negotiations for a new license agreement with the intention of reaching a mutually acceptable agreement on a timely basis. Prior to the commencement of negotiations and as negotiations proceeded, Nokia and Qualcomm were engaged in numerous legal disputes in the United States, Europe and China. On July 24, 2008 Nokia and Qualcomm entered into a new license agreement covering various current and future standards and other technologies, and resulting in a settlement of all litigation between the companies. Under the terms of the 15 year agreement covering various standards and other technologies, Nokia has been granted a license under all Qualcomm's patents for use in Nokia's mobile devices and Nokia Siemens Networks infrastructure equipment, and Nokia has agreed not to use any of its patents directly against Qualcomm. The financial terms included a one-time lump-sum cash payment of EUR 1.7 billion made by Nokia to Qualcomm in the fourth quarter of 2008 and on-going royalty payments to Qualcomm. The lump-sum payment made to Qualcomm will be expensed over the term of the agreement. Nokia also agreed to assign ownership of a number of patents to Qualcomm.
As of December 31, 2009, the Group had purchase commitments of EUR 2 765 million (EUR 2 351 million in 2008) relating to inventory purchase obligations, service agreements and outsourcing arrangements, primarily for purchases in 2010.

Hallstein Moerk, following his arrangement with a previous employer, and continuing in his current position at Nokia, has a retirement benefit of 65% of his pensionable salary beginning at the age of 62 and early retirement is possible at the age of 55 with reduced benefits. Mr. Moerk will retire at the end of September 2010 at the age of 57.

Nokia effectively controls Nokia Siemens Networks as it has the ability to appoint key officers and the majority of the members of its Board of Directors, and accordingly, Nokia consolidated Nokia Siemens Networks.
33. Risk management
General risk management principles
Nokia has a common and systematic approach to risk management across business operations and processes. Material risks and opportunities are identified, analyzed, managed and monitored as part of business performance management. Relevant key risks are identified against business targets either in business operations or as an integral part of long and short term planning. Nokia's overall risk management concept is based on visibility of the key risks preventing Nokia from reaching its business objectives rather than solely focusing on eliminating risks.
The principles documented in Nokia's Risk Policy and accepted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors require risk management and its elements to be integrated into business processes. One of the main principles is that the business, function or category owner is also the risk owner, but it is everyone's responsibility at Nokia to identify risks, which prevent Nokia to reach the objectives. Risk management covers strategic, operational, financial and hazard risks.
Key risks are reported to the Group level management to create assurance on business risks as well as to enable prioritization of risk management activities at Nokia. In addition to general principles there are specific risk management policies covering, for example treasury and customer related credit risks.
Financial risks
The objective for Treasury activities in Nokia is twofold: to guarantee cost-efficient funding for the Group at all times, and to identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks. There is a strong focus in Nokia on creating shareholder value. Treasury activities support this aim by: i) mitigating the adverse effects caused by fluctuations in the financial markets on the profitability of the underlying businesses; and ii) managing the capital structure of the Group by prudently balancing the levels of liquid assets and financial borrowings.
Treasury activities are governed by policies approved by the CEO. Treasury Policy provides principles for overall financial risk management and determines the allocation of responsibilities for financial risk management in Nokia. Operating Procedures cover specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, use of derivative financial instruments, as well as liquidity and credit risk. Nokia is risk averse in its Treasury activities.
a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
Nokia operates globally and is thus exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currencies. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable purchases and sales contribute to foreign exchange exposure. These transaction exposures are managed against various local currencies because of Nokia's substantial production and sales outside the Euro zone.
According to the foreign exchange policy guidelines of the Group, which remain the same as in the previous year, material transaction foreign exchange exposures are hedged unless hedging would be uneconomical due to market liquidity and/or hedging cost. Exposures are mainly hedged with derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options. The majority of financial instruments hedging foreign exchange risk have duration of less than a year. The Group does not hedge forecasted foreign currency cash flows beyond two years.
Since Nokia has subsidiaries outside the Euro zone, the euro-denominated value of the shareholders' equity of Nokia is also exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. Equity changes resulting from movements in foreign exchange rates are shown as a translation difference in the Group consolidation.
Nokia uses, from time to time, foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated loans to hedge its equity exposure arising from foreign net investments.
At the end of year 2009 and 2008, following currencies represent significant portion of the currency mix in the outstanding financial instruments:
| 2009, EURm | USD | JPY | CNY | INR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX derivatives used as cashflow hedges (net amount) 1 |

| FX derivatives not designated in a hedge relationship and carried at fair value through profit and loss (net amount) 3 |
– 615 | 480 | 527 | – 443 |
1 The FX derivatives are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk from forecasted highly probable cash flows related to sales, purchases and business acquisition activities. In some of the currencies, especially in US Dollar, Nokia has substantial foreign exchange risks in both estimated cash inflows and outflows, which have been netted in the table. See Note 20 for more details on hedge accounting. The underlying exposures for which these hedges are entered into are not presented in the table, as they are not financial instruments as defined under IFRS 7.
2 The FX derivatives are used to hedge the Group's net investment exposure. The underlying exposures for which these hedges are entered into are not presented in the table, as they are not financial instruments as defined under IFRS 7.
3 The balance sheet items which are denominated in the foreign currencies are hedged by a portion of FX derivatives not designated in a hedge relationship and carried at fair value through profit and loss resulting in offsetting FX gains or losses in the financial income and expenses.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk either through market value fluctuations of balance sheet items (i.e. price risk) or through changes in interest income or expenses (i.e. re-financing or re-investment risk). Interest rate risk mainly arises through interest bearing liabilities and assets. Estimated future changes in cash flows and balance sheet structure also expose the Group to interest rate risk.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to optimize the balance between minimizing uncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates and maximizing the consolidated net interest income and expenses.
The interest rate exposure of the Group is monitored and managed centrally. Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology to assess and measure the interest rate risk of the net investments (cash and investments less outstanding debt) and related derivatives.
As at the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing assets and liabilities is presented in the table below:
| 2009 | 2008 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURm | Fixed rate |
Floating rate |

| Interest rate derivatives Assets and liabilities after derivatives |
1 628 3 569 |
– 1 693 145 |
— – 658 |
— 3 222 |
Equity price risk
Nokia is exposed to equity price risk as the result of market price fluctuations in the listed equity instruments held mainly for strategic business reasons.
Nokia has certain strategic minority investments in publicly listed equity shares. The fair value of the equity investments which are subject to equity price risk at December 31, 2009 was EUR 8 million (EUR 8 million in 2008). In addition, Nokia invests in private equity through venture funds, which, from time to time, may have holdings in equity instruments which are listed in stock exchanges. These investments are classified as available-for-sale carried at fair value. See Note 15 for more details on available-for-sale investments.
Due to the insignificant amount of exposure to equity price risk, there are currently no outstanding derivative financial instruments designated as hedges for these equity investments.
Nokia is exposed to equity price risk on social security costs relating to its equity compensation plans. Nokia mitigates this risk by entering into cash settled equity option contracts.
Value-at-Risk
Nokia uses the Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology to assess the Group exposures to foreign exchange (FX), interest rate, and equity risks. The VaR gives estimates of potential fair value losses in market risk sensitive instruments as a result of adverse changes in specified market factors, at a specified confidence level over a defined holding period.
In Nokia the FX VaR is calculated with the Monte Carlo method which simulates random values for exchange rates in which the Group has exposures and takes the non-linear price function of certain FX derivative instruments into account. The variance-covariance methodology is used to assess and measure the interest rate risk and equity price risk.
The VaR is determined by using volatilities and correlations of rates and prices estimated from a one-year sample of historical market data, at 95% confidence level, using a one-month holding period. To put more weight on recent market conditions, an exponentially weighted moving average is performed on the data with an appropriate decay factor.
This model implies that within a one-month period, the potential loss will not exceed the VaR estimate in 95% of possible outcomes. In the remaining 5% of possible outcomes, the potential loss will be at minimum equal to the VaR figure, and on average substantially higher.
The VaR methodology relies on a number of assumptions, such as, a) risks are measured under average market conditions, assuming that market risk factors follow normal distributions; b) future movements in market risk factors follow estimated historical movements; c) the assessed exposures do not change during the holding period. Thus it is possible that, for any given month, the potential losses at 95% confidence level are different and could be substantially higher than the estimated VaR.
FX Risk
The VaR figures for the Group's financial instruments which are sensitive to foreign exchange risks are presented in Table 1 below. As defined under IFRS 7, the financial instruments included in the VaR calculation are:
- » FX exposures from outstanding balance sheet items and other FX derivatives carried at fair value through profit and loss which are not in a hedge relationship and are mostly used for hedging balance sheet FX exposure.
- » FX derivatives designated as forecasted cash flow hedges and net investment hedges. Most of the VaR is caused by these derivatives as forecasted cash flow and net investment exposures are not financial instruments as defined under IFRS 7 and thus not included in the VaR calculation.
Table 1 Foreign exchange positions Value-at-Risk
| VaR from financial instruments | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURm | 2009 | 2008 | ||
| At December 31 | 190 | 442 | ||
| Average for the year | 291 | 337 | ||
| Range for the year | 160–520 | 191–730 |
Interest rate risk
The VaR for the Group interest rate exposure in the investment and debt portfolios is presented in Table 2 below. Sensitivities to credit spreads are not reflected in the below numbers.
The sizeable difference between the 2009 and 2008 numbers is mainly due the fact that Nokia issued bonds with long maturities during the first half of 2009, which resulted in a significant increase in the Group's exposure to long-term interest rates.
Table 2 Treasury investment and debt portfolios Value-at-Risk
| EURm | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| At December 31 | 41 | 6 |
| Average for the year | 33 | 10 |
| Range for the year | 4–52 | 4–25 |
Equity price risk
The VaR for the Group equity investment in publicly traded companies is insignificant.
b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from bank and cash, fixed income and money-market investments, derivative financial instruments, loans receivable as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables, financial guarantees and committed transactions. Credit risk is managed separately for business related- and financial-credit exposures.
Except as detailed in the following table, the maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the book value of the financial assets as included in Group's balance sheet:
| EURm | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial guarantees given on behalf of customers and other third parties |
— | 2 |
| Loan commitments given but not used | 99 | 197 |
| 99 | 199 |
Business related credit risk
The Company aims to ensure highest possible quality in accounts receivable and loans due from customers and other third parties. The Group Credit Policy, approved by Group Executive Board, lays out the framework for the management of the business related credit risks in all Nokia group companies.
Credit exposure is measured as the total of accounts receivable and loans outstanding due from customers and other third parties, and committed credits.
Group Credit Policy provides that credit decisions are based on credit evaluation including credit rating for larger exposures. Nokia & Nokia Siemens Networks Rating Policy defines the rating principles. Ratings are approved by Nokia & Nokia Siemens Networks Rating Committee. Credit risks are approved and monitored according to the credit policy of each business entity. These policies are based on the Group Credit Policy. Concentrations of customer or country risks are monitored at the Nokia Group level. When appropriate, assumed credit risks are mitigated with the use of approved instruments, such as collateral or insurance and sale of selected receivables.
The Group has provided impairment allowances as needed including on accounts receivable and loans due from customers and other third parties not past due, based on the analysis of debtors' credit quality and credit history. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents an estimate of incurred losses. All receivables and loans due from customers and other third parties are considered on an individual basis for impairment testing.
Top three customers account for approximately 2.2%, 2.2% and 1.9% (2008: 4.0%, 3.8% and 3.5%) of Group accounts receivable and loans due from customers and other third parties as at December 31, 2009, while the top three credit exposures by country amounted to 7.2%, 6.5% and 5.6% (2008: 8.5%, 7.2% and 7.2%), respectively.
As at December 31, 2009, the carrying amount before deducting any impairment allowance of accounts receivable relating to customers for which an impairment was provided amounted to EUR 2 528 million (2008: EUR 3 042 million). The amount of provision taken against that portion of these receivables considered to be impaired was EUR 391 million (2008: EUR 415 million) (see also note 19 Valuation and qualifying accounts).
An amount of EUR 679 million (2008: EUR 729 million) relates to past due receivables from customers for which no impairment loss was recognized. The aging of these receivables is as follows:
| EURm | 2009 | 2008 |
|---|---|---|
| Past due 1–30 days | 393 | 453 |
| Past due 31–180 days | 170 | 240 |
| More than 180 days | 116 | 36 |
| 679 | 729 |
The carrying amount of accounts receivable that would otherwise be past due or impaired but whose terms have been renegotiated was EUR 36 million (EUR 0 million in 2008).
As at December 31, 2009, the carrying amount before deducting any impairment allowance of loans due from customers and other third parties for which impairment was provided amounted to EUR 4 million (2008: EUR 4 million). The amount of provision taken for these loans was EUR 4 million (2008: EUR 4 million).
There were no past due loans from customers and other third parties.
Financial credit risk
Financial instruments contain an element of risk of loss resulting from counterparties being unable to meet their obligations. This risk is measured and monitored centrally by Treasury. Nokia manages financial credit risk actively by limiting its counterparties to a sufficient number of major banks and financial institutions and monitoring the credit worthiness and exposure sizes continuously as well as through entering into netting arrangements (which gives Nokia the right to offset in the event that the counterparty would not be able to fulfill the obligations) with all major counterparties and collateral agreements (which require counterparties to post collateral against derivative receivables) with certain counterparties.
Nokia's investment decisions are based on strict creditworthiness and maturity criteria as defined in the Treasury Policy and Operating Procedure. Due to global banking crisis and the freezing of the credit markets in 2008, Nokia applied an even more defensive approach than usual within Treasury Policy towards investments and counterparty quality and maturities, focusing on capital preservation and liquidity. As result of this investment policy approach and active management of outstanding investment exposures, Nokia has not been subject to any material credit losses in its financial investments.
The table below presents the breakdown of the outstanding available-for-sale fixed income and money market investments by sector and credit rating grades ranked as per Moody's rating categories.
Fixed income and money-market investments 1, 2, 3
1 Fixed income and money-market investments include term deposits, investments in liquidity funds and investments in fixed income instruments classified as available-for-sale investments and investments at fair value though profit and loss. Liquidity funds invested solely in government securities are included under Governments. Other liquidity funds are included under Banks.
3 Bank parent company ratings used here for bank groups. In some emerging markets countries actual bank subsidiary ratings may differ from parent company rating.
2 Included within fixed income and money-market investments is EUR 48 million of restricted investment at December 31, 2009 (EUR 114 million at December 31, 2008). They are restricted financial assets under various contractual or legal obligations.
84% of Nokia's cash is held with banks of investment grade credit rating (89% for 2008).
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as financial distress or extraordinary high financing costs arising due to a shortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and require financing. Transactional liquidity risk is defined as the risk of executing a financial transaction below fair market value, or not being able to execute the transaction at all, within a specific period of time.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity, and to ensure that it is available fast enough without endangering its value, in order to avoid uncertainty related to financial distress at all times.
Nokia guarantees a sufficient liquidity at all times by efficient cash management and by investing in liquid interest bearing securities. The transactional liquidity risk is minimized by only entering transactions where proper two-way quotes can be obtained from the market.
Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks aim at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed and uncommitted credit lines available. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks manage their respective credit facilities independently and facilities do not include cross-default clauses between Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks or any forms of guarantees from either party. At the end of December 31, 2009 the committed facilities totaled EUR 4 113 million.
The most significant existing Committed Facilities include:
Borrower(s):
| Nokia Corporation: | USD 1 923 million Revolving Credit Facility, maturing 2012 |

Hazard risk
Nokia strives to ensure that all financial, reputation and other losses to the Group and our customers are minimized through preventive risk management measures. Insurance is purchased for risks, which cannot be efficiently internally managed and where insurance markets offer acceptable terms and conditions. The objective is to ensure that hazard risks, whether related to physical assets (e.g. buildings) or intellectual assets (e.g. Nokia) or potential liabilities (e.g. product liability) are optimally insured taking into account both cost and retention levels.
Nokia purchases both annual insurance policies for specific risks as well as multi-line and/or multi-year insurance policies, where available.

Authorization to increase the share capital
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 3, 2007, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to issue a maximum of 800 million shares through one or more issues of shares or special rights entitling to shares, including stock options. The Board of Directors may issue either new shares or shares held by the Company. The authorization includes the right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and conditions of such issuances of shares and special rights, including to whom the shares and the special rights may be issued. The authorization is effective until June 30, 2010.
At the end of 2009, the Board of Directors had no other authorizations to issue shares, convertible bonds, warrants or stock options.
Other authorizations
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 8, 2008, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of 370 million Nokia shares by using funds in the unrestricted shareholders' equity. Nokia repurchased 71 090 000 shares under this authorization in 2008. In 2009, Nokia did not repurchase any shares on the basis of this authorization. This authorization was effective until June 30, 2009 as per the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2008, but it was terminated by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2009.
At the Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2009, Nokia shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of 360 million Nokia shares by using funds in the unrestricted shareholders' equity. The amount of shares corresponds to less than 10% of all shares of the company. The shares may be repurchased under the buy-back authorization in order to develop the capital structure of the company. In addition, shares may be repurchased in order to finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, to settle the company's equity-based incentive plans, to be transferred for other purposes, or to be cancelled. Nokia has not purchased any shares based on this authorization. The authorization is effective until June 30, 2010 and the authorization terminated the authorization for repurchasing of the Company's shares resolved at the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2008.

The shares may be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the Company, finance or carry out acquisitions or other arrangements, settle the Company's equity-based incentive plans, be transferred for other purposes, or be cancelled.

To the Annual General Meeting of Nokia Corporation
We have audited the accounting records, the financial statements, the review by the Board of Directors and the administration of Nokia Corporation for the year ended 31 December 2009. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, cash flow statement, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and notes to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements.
Responsibility of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors and for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, as well as for the fair presentation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors in accordance with laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors in Finland. The Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the control of the company's accounts and finances, and the Managing Director shall see to it that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to perform an audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland, and to express an opinion on the parent company's financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the review by the Board of Directors based on our audit. Good auditing practice requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors are free from material misstatement and whether the members of the Board of Directors of the parent company and the Managing Director have complied with the Limited Liability Companies Act.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and of the review by the Board of Directors, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors.
The audit was performed in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion on the consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
Opinion on the company's financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors
In our opinion, the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors give a true and fair view of both the consolidated and the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of the financial statements and the review by the Board of Directors in Finland. The information in the review by the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements.
Other opinions
We support that the financial statements should be adopted. The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the distribution of the profit shown in the balance sheet is in compliance with the Limited Liability Companies Act. We support that the Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director should be discharged from liability for the financial period audited by us.

Our accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates affect all our segments equally unless otherwise indicated.
We believe the following are the critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We have discussed the application of these critical accounting estimates with our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
Revenue recognition
Sales from the majority of the Group are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership and effective control have ceased, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. The remainder of revenue is recorded under the percentage of completion method.
Devices & Services and certain NAVTEQ and Nokia Siemens Networks revenues are generally recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, continuing managerial involvement usually associated with ownership and effective control have ceased, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This requires us to assess at the point of delivery whether these criteria have been met. When management determines that such criteria have been met, revenue is recognized. We record estimated reductions to revenue for special pricing agreements, price protection and other volume based discounts at the time of sale, mainly in the mobile device business. Sales adjustments for volume based discount programs are estimated based largely on historical activity under similar programs. Price protection adjustments are based on estimates of future price reductions and certain agreed customer inventories at the date of the price adjustment. Devices & Services and certain Nokia Siemens Networks service revenue is generally recognized on a straight line basis over the service period unless there is evidence that some other method better represents the stage of completion. Devices & Services and NAVTEQ license fees from usage are recognized in the period when they are reliably measurable which is normally when the customer reports them to the Group.
Devices & Services, NAVTEQ and Nokia Siemens Networks may enter into multiple component transactions consisting of any combination of hardware, services and software. The commercial effect of each separately identifiable element of the transaction is evaluated in order to reflect the substance of the transaction. The consideration from these transactions is allocated to each separately identifiable component based on the relative fair value of each component. The consideration allocated to each component is recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria for that element have been met. The Group determines the fair value of each component by taking into consideration factors such as the price when the component is sold separately by the Group, the price when a similar component is sold separately by the Group or a third party and cost plus a reasonable margin.
Nokia Siemens Networks revenue and cost of sales from contracts involving solutions achieved through modification of complex telecommunications equipment is recognized on the percentage of completion basis when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. This occurs when total contract revenue and the cost to complete the contract can be estimated reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the contract will flow to the Group, and the stage of contract completion can be measured. When we are not able to meet those conditions, the policy is to recognize revenues only equal to costs incurred to date, to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered. Completion is measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total project costs using the cost-to-cost method.
The percentage of completion method relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs, as well as the dependable measurement of the progress made towards completing the particular project. Recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions during the project in the event that the assumptions regarding the overall project outcome are revised. The cumulative impact of a revision in estimates is recorded in the period such revisions become likely and estimable. Losses on projects in progress are recognized in the period they become likely and estimable.
Nokia Siemens Networks' current sales and profit estimates for projects may change due to the early stage of a long-term project, new technology, changes in the project scope, changes in costs, changes in timing, changes in customers' plans, realization of penalties, and other corresponding factors.
Customer financing
We have provided a limited number of customer financing arrangements and agreed extended payment terms with selected customers. In establishing credit arrangements, management must assess the creditworthiness of the customer and the timing of cash flows expected to be received under the arrangement. However, should the actual financial position of our customers or general economic conditions differ from our assumptions, we may be required to re-assess the ultimate collectability of such financings and trade credits, which could result in a write-off of these balances in future periods and thus negatively impact our profits in future periods. Our assessment of the net recoverable value considers the collateral and security arrangements of the receivable as well as the likelihood and timing of estimated collections. The Group endeavors to mitigate this risk through the transfer of its rights to the cash collected from these arrangements to third-party financial institutions on a non-recourse basis in exchange for an upfront cash payment. During the past three fiscal years the Group has not had any write-offs or impairments regarding customer financing. The financial impact of the customer financing related assumptions mainly affects the Nokia Siemens Networks segment. See also Note 33 b) to our consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of long-term loans to customers and other parties.
Allowances for doubtful accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the subsequent inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required in future periods. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivables and historical bad debt, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on these estimates and assumptions the allowance for doubtful accounts was EUR 391 million in 2009 (EUR 415 million in 2008).
Inventory-related allowances
We periodically review our inventory for excess, obsolescence and declines in market value below cost and record an allowance against the inventory balance for any such declines. These reviews require management to estimate future demand for our products. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the valuation of inventory in future periods. Based on these estimates and assumptions the allowance for
excess and obsolete inventory was EUR 361 million in 2009 (EUR 348 million in 2008). The financial impact of the assumptions regarding this allowance affects mainly the cost of sales of the Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens Networks segments.
Warranty provisions
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. Our products are covered by product warranty plans of varying periods, depending on local practices and regulations. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligations are affected by actual product failure rates (field failure rates) and by material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Our warranty provision is established based upon our best estimates of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. As we continuously introduce new products which incorporate complex technology, and as local laws, regulations and practices may change, it will be increasingly difficult to anticipate our failure rates, the length of warranty periods and repair costs. While we believe that our warranty provisions are adequate and that the judgments applied are appropriate, the ultimate cost of product warranty could differ materially from our estimates. When the actual cost of quality of our products is lower than we originally anticipated, we release an appropriate proportion of the provision, and if the cost of quality is higher than anticipated, we increase the provision. Based on these estimates and assumptions the warranty provision decreased to EUR 971 million primarily due to lower sales volumes in Devices & Services in 2009 (EUR 1 375 million in 2008). The financial impact of the assumptions regarding this provision mainly affects the cost of sales of Devices & Services segment.
Provision for intellectual property rights, or IPR, infringements
We provide for the estimated future settlements related to asserted and unasserted past alleged IPR infringements based on the probable outcome of each potential infringement.
Our products and solutions include increasingly complex technologies involving numerous patented and other proprietary technologies. Although we proactively try to ensure that we are aware of any patents and other intellectual property rights related to our products and solutions under development and thereby avoid inadvertent infringement of proprietary technologies, the nature of our business is such that patent and other intellectual property right infringements may and do occur. Through contact with
parties claiming infringement of their patented or otherwise exclusive technology, or through our own monitoring of developments in patent and other intellectual property right cases involving our competitors, we identify potential IPR infringements.
We estimate the outcome of all potential IPR infringements made known to us through assertion by third parties, or through our own monitoring of patent- and other IPR-related cases in the relevant legal systems. To the extent that we determine that an identified potential infringement will result in a probable outflow of resources, we record a liability based on our best estimate of the expenditure required to settle infringement proceedings. Based on these estimates and assumptions the provision for IPR infringements was EUR 390 million in 2009 (EUR 343 million in 2008). The financial impact of the assumptions regarding this provision mainly affects Devices & Services segment.
Our experience with claims of IPR infringement is that there is typically a discussion period with the accusing party, which can last from several months to years. In cases where a settlement is not reached, the discovery and ensuing legal process typically lasts a minimum of one year. For this reason, IPR infringement claims can last for varying periods of time, resulting in irregular movements in the IPR infringement provision. In addition, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settling an individual infringement may materially vary from our estimates.
Legal contingencies
As discussed in Note 28 to the consolidated financial statements, legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending or threatened in various jurisdictions against the Group. We record provisions for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates.
Capitalized development costs
We capitalize certain development costs primarily in the Nokia Siemens Networks segment when it is probable that a development project will be a success and certain criteria, including commercial and technical feasibility, have been met. These costs are then amortized on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives, which due to the constant development of new technologies is between two to five years. During the development stage, management must estimate the commercial and technical feasibility of these projects as well as their expected useful lives. Should a product fail to substantiate its estimated feasibility or life cycle, we may be required to write off excess
development costs in future periods.
Whenever there is an indicator that development costs capitalized for a specific project may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the present value of discounted estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For projects still in development, these estimates include the future cash outflows that are expected to occur before the asset is ready for use. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
Impairment reviews are based upon our projections of anticipated discounted future cash flows. The most significant variables in determining cash flows are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, such amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future.
Business combinations
We apply the purchase method of accounting to account for acquisitions of businesses. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, equity instruments issued, and costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over our interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although we believe that the
assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material.
Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill
We assess the carrying amount of identifiable intangible assets, long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess the carrying amount of our goodwill at least annually, or more frequently based on these same indicators. Factors we consider important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following:
- » significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future results;
- » significant changes in the manner of our use of these assets or the strategy for our overall business; and
- » significantly negative industry or economic trends.
When we determine that the carrying amount of intangible assets, long-lived assets or goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment based on discounted projected cash flows.
This review is based upon our projections of anticipated discounted future cash flows. The most significant variables in determining cash flows are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, such amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future. In assessing goodwill, these discounted cash flows are prepared at a cash generating unit level. Amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future.
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units (CGU) and discounted cash flows are prepared at CGU level for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation of goodwill to our CGUs is made in a manner that is consistent with the level at which management monitors operations and the CGUs expected to benefit from the synergies arising from each of our acquisitions. Accordingly, (i) goodwill arising from the acquisitions completed by the Devices & Services segment has been allocated to the Devices & Services CGU, (ii) goodwill arising from the acquisition of and
acquisitions completed by NAVTEQ has been allocated to the NAVTEQ CGU and (iii) goodwill arising from the formation of and acquisitions completed by Nokia Siemens Networks has been allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU.
The recoverable amounts for the Devices & Services CGU and NAVTEQ CGU are determined based on a value in use calculation. The cash flow projections employed in the value in use calculation are based on financial plans approved by management. These projections are consistent with external sources of information, whenever available. Cash flows beyond the explicit forecast period are extrapolated using an estimated terminal growth rate that does not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the industry and economies in which the CGU operates.
In prior years we used a value in use calculation to determine the recoverable amount of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. In 2009 the value in use calculation resulted in a recoverable amount that was lower than the carrying amount for the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. As a result, we performed an analysis to determine the fair value less costs to sell of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. The fair value less costs to sell of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU exceeded its value in use. IFRS requires that recoverable amount is based on the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs to sell and accordingly the current year goodwill assessment is based on a discounted cash flow calculation to estimate the fair value less costs to sell. The cash flow projections employed in the discounted cash flow calculation have been determined by management based on the best information available to reflect the amount that an entity could obtain from the disposal of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal.
The discount rates applied in the value in use calculation for each CGU have been determined independently of capital structure reflecting current assessments of the time value of money and relevant market risk premiums. Risk premiums included in the determination of the discount rate reflect risks and uncertainties for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. Overall, the discount rates applied in the 2009 impairment testing have decreased in line with declining interest rates and narrowing credit spreads.
In case there are reasonably possible changes in estimates or underlying assumptions applied in our goodwill impairment testing, such as growth rates and discount rates, which could have a material impact on the carrying amount of the goodwill or result in an impairment loss, those are disclosed below in connection with the relevant CGU.
The Group recorded an impairment loss of EUR 908 million in the third quarter of 2009 to reduce the carrying amount of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss was allocated in its entirety to the carrying amount
of goodwill arising from the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks and from subsequent acquisitions completed by Nokia Siemens Networks. The impairment loss is presented as impairment of goodwill in the consolidated income statement. As a result of the impairment loss, the amount of goodwill allocated to the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has been reduced to zero.
The recoverability of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU has declined as a result of a decline in forecasted profits and cash flows. The Group evaluated the historical and projected financial performance of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU taking into consideration the challenging competitive factors and market conditions in the infrastructure and related service business. As a result of this evaluation, the Group lowered its net sales and gross margin projections for the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU. The reduction in the projected scale of the business had a negative impact on the projected profits and cash flows of the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU.
We have performed our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2009 on the opening fourth quarter balances. During 2009, the conditions in the world economy have shown signs of improvement as countries have begun to emerge from the global economic downturn. However, significant uncertainty exists regarding the speed, timing and resiliency of the global economic recovery and this uncertainty is reflected in the impairment testing for each of the Group's CGUs.
Goodwill amounting to EUR 1 227 million has been allocated to the Devices & Services CGU for the purpose of impairment testing. The impairment testing has been carried out based on management's expectation of stable market share and normalized profit margins in the medium to long-term. The goodwill impairment testing conducted for the Devices & Services CGU for the year ended December 31, 2009 did not result in any impairment charges.
Goodwill amounting to EUR 3 944 million has been allocated to the NAVTEQ CGU. The impairment testing has been carried out based on management's expectations and assessment of the financial performance and future strategies of the NAVTEQ CGU in light of current and expected market and economic conditions. The goodwill impairment testing conducted for the NAVTEQ CGU for the year ended December 31, 2009 did not result in any impairment charges. The recoverable amount of the NAVTEQ CGU is between 5 to 10% higher than its carrying amount. The Group expects that a reasonably possible change of 1% in the valuation assumptions for long-term growth rate or discount rate would give rise to an impairment loss.
The key assumptions applied in the impairment testing for each CGU in the annual goodwill impairment testing for each year indicated are presented in the table below:
| Devices & Services 1 | Nokia Siemens Networks | NAVTEQ 1 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash-generating unit, % | 2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 |
| Terminal growth rate | 2.00 | 2.28 | 1.00 | 1.00 | 5.00 | 5.00 |
| Pre-tax discount rate | 11.46 | 12.35 | 13.24 | 15.60 | 12.60 | 12.42 |
1 Subsequent to the acquisition of NAVTEQ on July 10, 2008, we have had three operating and reportable segments: Devices & Services, NAVTEQ and Nokia Siemens Networks. The organizational changes fundamentally altered our reporting structure, the information reported to management as well as the way in which management monitors and runs operations and accordingly no directly comparable information for the Devices & Services CGU and NAVTEQ CGU is available for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The annual goodwill impairment testing conducted for each of the Group's CGUs for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have not resulted in any impairment charges. The goodwill impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted in the aforementioned impairment charge for the Nokia Siemens Networks CGU.
The Group has applied consistent valuation methodologies for each of the Group's CGUs for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. We periodically update the assumptions applied in our impairment testing to reflect management's best estimates of future cash flows and the conditions that are expected to prevail during the forecast period.
See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding "Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill."
Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted equities, currency options and embedded derivatives) are determined using valuation techniques. We use judgment to select an appropriate valuation methodology and underlying assumptions based principally on existing market conditions. If quoted market prices are not available for unlisted shares, fair value is estimated by using various factors, including, but not limited to: (1) the current market value of similar instruments, (2) prices established from a recent arm's length financing transaction of the target companies, (3) analysis of market prospects and operating performance of the target companies taking into consideration of public market comparable companies in similar industry sectors. Changes in these assumptions may cause the Group to recognize impairments or losses in the future periods. The financial impact of these assumptions mainly affects Devices & Services segment.
Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes both in Finland and in numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax expense, tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that it is
probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. We have considered future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If circumstances indicate it is no longer probable that deferred tax assets will be utilized they are assessed for realizability and adjusted as necessary. At December 31, 2009, the Group had loss carry forwards and temporary differences of EUR 2 532 million (EUR 102 million in 2008) for which no deferred tax assets were recognized in the consolidated financial statements due to loss history and current year loss in certain jurisdictions.
We recognize tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions when, despite our belief that tax return positions are supportable, it is more likely than not that certain positions will be challenged and may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. In 2009, Nokia benefited EUR 203 million from the positive net effect from the development and outcome of various prior year taxes and changes in tax contingencies impacting Nokia taxes.
If the final outcome of these matters differs from the amounts initially recorded, differences may positively or negatively impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Pensions
The determination of our pension benefit obligation and expense for defined benefit pension plans is dependent on our selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements and include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and annual rate of increase in future compensation levels. A portion of our plan assets is invested in equity securities. The equity markets have experienced volatility, which has affected the value of our pension plan assets. This volatility may make it difficult to estimate the long-term rate of return on plan assets. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore generally affect our recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. Our assumptions are based on actual historical experience and external data regarding compensation and discount rate trends. While we believe that our
assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in our actual experience or significant changes in our assumptions may materially affect our pension obligation and our future expense. The financial impact of the pension assumptions affects mainly the Devices & Services and Nokia Siemens Networks segments.
Share-based compensation
We have various types of equity settled share-based compensation schemes for employees. Employee services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments as at the date of grant, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Fair value of stock options is estimated by using the Black-Scholes model on the date of grant based on certain assumptions. Those assumptions are described in Note 23 to our consolidated financial statements and include, among others, the dividend yield, expected volatility and expected life of stock options. The expected life of stock options is estimated by observing general option holder behavior and actual historical terms of Nokia stock option programs, whereas the assumption of the expected volatility has been set by reference to the implied volatility of stock options available on Nokia shares in the open market and in light of historical patterns of volatility. These variables make estimation of fair value of stock options difficult.
Non-market vesting conditions attached to the performance shares are included in assumptions about the number of shares that the employee will ultimately receive relating to projections of sales and earnings per share. On a regular basis, we review the assumptions made and revise the estimates of the number of performance shares that are expected to be settled, where necessary. At the date of grant, the number of performance shares granted that are expected to be settled is assumed to be two times the amount at threshold. Any subsequent revisions to the estimates of the number of performance shares expected to be settled may increase or decrease total compensation expense. Such increase or decrease adjusts the prior period compensation expense in the period of the review on a cumulative basis for unvested performance shares for which compensation expense has already been recognized in the profit and loss account, and in subsequent periods for unvested performance shares for which the expense has not yet been recognized in the profit and loss account. Significant differences in employee option activity, equity market performance, and our projected and actual net sales and earnings per share performance may materially affect future expense. In addition, the value, if any, an employee ultimately receives from share-based payment awards may not correspond to the expense amounts recorded by the Group.
According to Nokia's Articles of Association, Nokia has a Group Executive Board that is responsible for the operative management of the Group. The Board has the responsibility for appointing and discharging the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the other members of the Group Executive Board. The Chief Executive Officer, who is separate from Chairman, also acts as President, and his rights and responsibilities include those allotted to the President under Finnish law.

On January 28, 2010, the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee announced its proposal to the Annual General Meeting convening on May 6, 2010 regarding the composition of the Board of Directors for a one-year term as from the Annual General Meeting in 2010 until the close of the Annual General Meeting 2011. The Committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the number of Board members be ten and that the following current Board members be re-elected: Lalita D. Gupte, Dr. Bengt Holmström, Prof. Dr. Henning Kagermann, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Per Karlsson, Isabel Marey-Semper, Jorma Ollila, Dame Marjorie Scardino, Risto Siilasmaa and Keijo Suila.
Nokia's Board leadership structure consists of a Chairman and Vice Chairman, annually elected by the Board and confirmed by the independent directors of the Board from among the Board members upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. The independent directors of the Board also confirm the election of the members and Chairmen for the Board's committees from among the Board's independent directors upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee and based on each committee's member qualification standards. These elections will take place at the Board's assembly meeting following the Annual General Meeting.
On January 28, 2010, the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee announced that it will propose at the assembly meeting of the new Board of Directors after the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2010 that Jorma Ollila be elected as Chairman of the Board and Dame Marjorie Scardino as Vice Chairman of the Board.
Corporate governance
Pursuant to the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act and Nokia's Articles of Association, the control and management of Nokia is divided among the shareholders at a general meeting, the Board of Directors (or the "Board"), the President and the Group Executive Board chaired by the Chief Executive Officer.
Under its Articles of Association, in addition to the Board of Directors, Nokia has a Group Executive Board, which is responsible for the operative management of the Group. The Chairman and members of the Group Executive Board are appointed by the Board of Directors. Only the Chairman of the Group Executive Board can be a member of both the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board.
The Board of Directors
The operations of the company are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors, within the framework set by the Finnish Companies Act and Nokia's Articles of Association as well as any complementary rules of procedure as defined by the Board, such as the Corporate Governance Guidelines and related Board Committee charters.
The responsibilities of the Board of Directors
The Board represents and is accountable to the shareholders of the company. The Board's responsibilities are active, not passive, and include the responsibility regularly to evaluate the strategic direction of the company, management policies and the effectiveness with which management implements them. The Board's responsibilities also include overseeing the structure and composition of the company's top management and monitoring legal compliance and the management of risks related to the company's operations. In doing so, the Board may set annual ranges and/or individual limits for capital expenditures, investments and divestitures and financial commitments not to be exceeded without Board approval.
Nokia has a Risk Policy which outlines Nokia's risk management policies and processes and is approved by the Audit Committee. The Board's role in risk oversight includes risk analysis and assessment in connection with each financial and business review, update and decision-making proposal and is an integral part of all Board deliberations. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other matters, risk management relating to the financial reporting process and assisting the Board's oversight of the risk management function. Nokia applies a common and systematic approach to risk management across all business operations and processes based on a strategy approved by the Board. Accordingly, risk management at Nokia is not a separate process but a normal daily business and management practice.
The Board has the responsibility for appointing
and discharging the President and the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Executive Officer and the other members of the Group Executive Board. The Chief Executive Officer, who is separate from Chairman, also acts as President, and his rights and responsibilities include those allotted to the President under Finnish law. Subject to the requirements of Finnish law, the independent directors of the Board confirm the compensation and the employment conditions of the Chief Executive Officer upon the recommendation of the Personnel Committee. The compensation and employment conditions of the other members of the Group Executive Board are approved by the Personnel Committee upon the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.
The basic responsibility of the members of the Board is to act in good faith and with due care so as to exercise their business judgment on an informed basis in what they reasonably and honestly believe to be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. In discharging that obligation, the directors must inform themselves of all relevant information reasonably available to them. The Board and each Board Committee also have the power to hire independent legal, financial or other advisors as they deem necessary.
The Board conducts annual performance selfevaluations, which also include evaluations of the Board Committees' work, the results of which are discussed by the Board. In 2009, the self-evaluation process consisted of a questionnaire, a one-to-one discussion between the Chairman and each director, and a discussion by the entire Board of the outcome of the evaluation, possible measures to be taken, as well as measures taken based on the Board's self-evaluation of the previous year. In addition, performance of the Board Chairman was evaluated in a process led by the Vice Chairman.
Election, composition and meetings of the Board of Directors
Pursuant to the Articles of Association, Nokia Corporation has a Board of Directors composed of a minimum of seven and a maximum of 12 members. The members of the Board are elected for a term of one year at each Annual General Meeting, i.e., as from the close of that Annual General Meeting until the close of the following Annual General Meeting, which convenes each year by June 30. The Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2009 elected 11 members to the Board of Directors. The members of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting in 2009 are Georg Ehrnrooth, Lalita D. Gupte, Dr. Bengt Holmström, Dr. Henning Kagermann, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Per Karlsson, Jorma Ollila, Dame Marjorie Scardino, Isabel Marey-Semper, Risto Siilasmaa and Keijo Suila.
Nokia's Board leadership structure consists of a Chairman and Vice Chairman, annually elected by the Board and confirmed by the independent directors of the Board from among the Board members upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. On April 23, 2009, the independent directors of the Board elected Jorma Ollila to continue to act as Chairman and Dame Marjorie Scardino to continue to act as Vice Chairman of the Board. The Chairman has certain specific duties as defined by Finnish standards and the Nokia Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board has determined that Nokia Board Chairman, Mr. Ollila, is independent as defined by Finnish standards, and also under the New York Stock Exchange rules since June 1, 2009. The Vice Chairman of the Board shall assume the duties of the Chairman in case the Chairman is prevented from performing his duties. The Board has determined that Nokia Board Vice Chairman, Dame Marjorie Scardino, is also independent as defined by Finnish standards and relevant stock exchange rules and has been independent since being appointed Vice Chairman in 2007. The Chief Executive Officer is currently a member of the Board. Nokia does not have a policy concerning the combination or separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, but the leadership structure is dependent on the company needs, shareholder value and other relevant factors applicable from time to time, and respecting the highest corporate governance standards.
The current members of the Board are all non-executive, except the President and CEO who is an executive member of the Board. The Board has determined that all ten non-executive Board members are independent as defined by Finnish standards. Also, the Board has determined that nine of the Board's ten non-executive members are independent directors as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Dr. Bengt Holmström was determined not to be independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange due to a family relationship with an executive officer of a Nokia supplier of whose consolidated gross revenue from Nokia accounts for an amount that exceeds the limit provided in the New York Stock Exchange rules, but that is less than 8%. The executive member of the Board, President and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, was determined not to be independent under both Finnish standards and the New York Stock Exchange rules.
The Board held 13 meetings during 2009, of which seven were regularly scheduled meetings held in person and six were meetings held in writing. The attendance at all meetings was 100%. The non-executive directors meet without management at regularly scheduled sessions twice a year and at such other times as they deem appropriate, in practice in connection with each regularly scheduled meeting in 2009. Such sessions were chaired by the non-executive Chairman of the Board or, in his absence, the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board. In addition, the independent directors meet separately at least once annually, and did so in 2009. All the directors attended Nokia's Annual General Meeting held on April 23, 2009. The Finnish Corporate Governance Code recommends attendance by the Board Chairman and a sufficient number of directors to allow the shareholders to exercise their right to present questions to the Board and management.
The independent directors of the Board also confirm the election of the members and Chairmen for the Board's committees from among the Board's independent directors upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee and based on each committee's member qualification standards.
The Corporate Governance Guidelines concerning the directors' responsibilities, the composition and selection of the Board, Board Committees and certain other matters relating to corporate governance are available on Nokia's website, www.nokia.com.
According to Finnish law, the shareholders have the right to submit director recommendations or other agenda items or proposals to the agenda of a general meeting provided that the item or proposal belongs to the scope of the general meeting of the shareholders and the request is made to the Board in writing well in advance to be included in the notice of the meeting, which time may not be deemed to be earlier than four weeks before the notice of the meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Audit Committee consists of a minimum of three members of the Board who meet all applicable independence, financial literacy and other requirements of Finnish law and the rules of the stock exchanges where Nokia shares are listed, including NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and the New York Stock Exchange. Since April 23, 2009, the Audit Committee consists of the following four members of the Board: Georg Ehrnrooth (Chairman), Lalita D. Gupte, Isabel Marey-Semper and Risto Siilasmaa.
The Audit Committee is established by the Board primarily for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes of the company and audits of the financial statements of the company. The Committee is responsible for assisting the Board's oversight of (1) the quality and integrity of the company's financial statements and related disclosure, (2) the statutory audit of the company's financial statements, (3) the external auditor's qualifications and independence, (4) the performance of the external auditor subject to the requirements of Finnish law, (5) the performance of the company's internal controls and risk management and assurance function, (6) the performance of the internal audit function, and (7) the company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Committee also maintains procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the company regarding accounting, internal controls, or auditing matters and for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the company of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters. Nokia's disclosure controls and procedures, which are reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as well as Nokia's internal controls over financial reporting, are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the quality and integrity of the company's financial statements and related disclosures. The Disclosure Committee chaired by the
Chief Financial Officer is responsible for preparation of the quarterly and annual results announcements, and the process includes involvement by business managers, business controllers and other functions, like internal audit, as well as a final review and confirmation by the Audit Committee and the Board.
Under Finnish law, Nokia's external auditor is elected by the shareholders by a simple majority vote at the Annual General Meeting for one fiscal year at a time. The Audit Committee makes a proposal to the shareholders in respect of the appointment of the external auditor based upon its evaluation of the qualifications and independence of the auditor to be proposed for election or re-election. Also under Finnish law, the fees of the external auditor are approved by Nokia's shareholders by a simple majority vote at the Annual General Meeting. The Committee makes a proposal to the shareholders in respect of the fees of the external auditor, and approves the external auditor's annual audit fees under the guidance given by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. For information about the fees paid to Nokia's external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, during 2009 see "Auditor fees and services" on page 96.
In discharging its oversight role, the Committee has full access to all company books, records, facilities and personnel. The Committee may retain counsel, auditors or other advisors in its sole discretion, and must receive appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, from the company for the payment of compensation to such outside advisors.
The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year based upon a schedule established at the first meeting following the appointment of the Committee. The Committee meets separately with the representatives of Nokia's management, head of the internal audit function, and the external auditor in connection with each regularly scheduled meeting. The head of the internal audit function has at all time direct access to the Audit Committee, without involvement of management.
The Audit Committee had six meetings in 2009. The attendance at all meetings was 100%. In addition, any directors who wish to may attend Audit Committee meetings as nonvoting observers.
The Personnel Committee consists of a minimum of three members of the Board who meet all applicable independence requirements of Finnish law and the rules of the stock exchanges where Nokia shares are listed, including NASDAQ OMX Helsinki and the New York Stock Exchange. Since April 23, 2009, the Personnel Committee consists of the following four members of the Board: Per Karlsson (Chairman), Henning Kagermann, Marjorie Scardino and Keijo Suila.
The primary purpose of the Personnel Committee is to oversee the personnel policies and practices of the company. It assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to all compensation, including equity compensation, of the company's executives and the terms of employment of the same. The Committee has overall responsibility for evaluating, resolving and
making recommendations to the Board regarding (1) compensation of the company's top executives and their employment conditions, (2) all equity-based plans, (3) incentive compensation plans, policies and programs of the company affecting executives and (4) other significant incentive plans. The Committee is responsible for overseeing compensation philosophy and principles and ensuring the above compensation programs are performance-based, properly motivate management, support overall corporate strategies and are aligned with shareholders' interests. The Committee is responsible for the review of senior management development and succession plans.
The Personnel Committee had four meetings in 2009. The average ratio of attendance at the meetings was 94%. Three members of the Committee attended 100% of the Committee meetings and one member attended 75% of the meetings. In addition, any directors who wish to may attend Personnel Committee meetings as nonvoting observers.

Since April 23, 2009, the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee consists of the following three members of the Board: Marjorie Scardino (Chairman), Georg Ehrnrooth and Per Karlsson.
The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee's purpose is (1) to prepare the proposals for the general meetings in respect of the composition of the Board and the director remuneration to be approved by the shareholders and (2) to monitor issues and practices related to corporate governance and to propose necessary actions in respect thereof.
The Committee fulfills its responsibilities by (i) actively identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, (ii) proposing to the shareholders the director nominees for election at the Annual General Meetings, (iii) monitoring significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance and of the duties and responsibilities of directors of public companies, (iv) assisting the Board and each Committee of the Board in its annual performance self-evaluations, including establishing criteria to be used in connection with such evaluations, (v) developing and recommending to the Board and administering Nokia's Corporate Governance Guidelines, and (vi) reviewing the company's disclosure in the Corporate Governance Statement.
The Committee has the power to retain search firms or advisors to identify candidates. The Committee may also retain counsel or other advisors, as it deems appropriate. The Committee has sole
authority to retain or terminate such search firms or advisors and to review and approve such search firm or advisor's fees and other retention terms. It is the Committee's practice to retain a search firm to identify director candidates each time a new director candidate is searched for.
The Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee had three meetings in 2009. The attendance at all meetings was 100%. In addition, any directors who wish to may attend Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee meetings as nonvoting observers.

Internal audit function
Nokia has an internal audit function that acts as an independent appraisal function by examining and evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the company's system of internal control.
Internal audit resides within the Chief Financial Officer's organization and also reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The head of internal audit function has at all times direct access to the Audit Committee, without involvement of the management.
Board of Directors
The following table sets forth the annual remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors based on their positions on the Board and its committees, including the remuneration paid to the President and CEO for his duties as a member of the Board of Directors only, as resolved at the respective Annual General Meetings in 2009, 2008 and 2007.
It is Nokia's policy that the remuneration consists of an annual fee only, no fees for meeting attendance are paid, and that a significant portion of director compensation will be paid in the form of company stock purchased from the market. It is also Nokia's policy that the Board members shall retain all Nokia shares received as director compensation until the end of the board membership (except for those shares needed to offset any costs relating to the acquisition of the shares, including taxes). In addition, non-executive members of the Board do not receive stock options, performance shares, restricted shares or other variable compensation for their duties as Board members as per company policy. The President and CEO receives variable compensation for his executive duties, but not for his duties as a member of the Board of Directors. The total compensation of the President and CEO is described in
| Position, EUR | 2009 1 | 2008 | 2007 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chairman | 440 000 | 440 000 | 375 000 |

| Total | 1 840 000 | 1 710 000 | 1 775 000 |
1 The increase in the total amount results from the Board of Directors having one more member in 2009 compared to 2008 while fees paid based on the position remained the same.
"Summary compensation table 2009" on page 85.
When preparing the Board of Directors' remuneration proposal, it is the policy of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee of the Board to review and compare the remuneration levels and their criteria paid in other global companies with net sales and business complexity comparable to that of Nokia. The Committee's aim is to ensure that Nokia has an efficient Board of world-class professionals representing an appropriate and diverse mix of skills and experience. A competitive Board remuneration contributes to the achievement of this target.
The remuneration of the Board of Directors is resolved annually by Nokia's Annual General Meeting by a simple majority of the shareholders' votes represented at the meeting, upon proposal by the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. The remuneration is resolved for the period as from the respective Annual General Meeting until the close of the next Annual General Meeting.

Executive compensation
Executive compensation philosophy, programs and decision-making process
Our executive compensation philosophy and programs have been developed to enable Nokia to effectively compete in an extremely complex and rapidly evolving mobile communications industry. Nokia is a leading company in its industry and conducts business globally. Nokia's executive compensation programs have been designed to attract, retain and motivate talented executive officers globally that drive Nokia's success and industry leadership worldwide. Our compensation programs are designed to promote long-term value sustainability of the company and to ensure that remuneration is based on performance.
Nokia's compensation program for executive officers includes:
- » competitive base pay rates; and
- » short- and long-term incentives that are intended to result in a competitive total compensation package.
The objectives of Nokia's executive compensation programs are to:
- » attract and retain outstanding executive talent;
-
» deliver a significant amount of performancerelated variable compensation for the achievement of both short- and long-term stretch goals;
-
» appropriately balance rewards between both Nokia's and an individual's performance; and
- » align the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders through long-term incentives in the form of equity-based awards.
The competitiveness of Nokia's executive compensation levels and practices is one of several key factors the Personnel Committee of the Board (the "Personnel Committee") considers in its determination of compensation for Nokia executives. The Personnel Committee compares, on an annual basis, Nokia's compensation practices, base salaries and total compensation, including short- and long-term incentives against those of other relevant companies with the same or similar revenue, size, global reach and complexity that Nokia believes it competes against for executive talent. The relevant sample includes companies in high technology, telecommunications and Internet services industries, as well as other industries that are headquartered in Europe and the United States. The peer group is determined by the Personnel Committee and reviewed for appropriateness from time to time as deemed necessary due to such factors as changes in the business environment or industry.
The Personnel Committee retains and uses an external consultant from Mercer Human Resources to obtain benchmark data and information on current market trends. The consultant works directly for the Chairman of the Personnel Committee and meets annually with the Personnel Committee, without management present, to provide an assessment of the competitiveness and appropriateness of Nokia's executive pay levels and programs. Management provides the consultant with information regarding Nokia's programs and compensation levels in preparation for meeting with the Committee. The consultant of Mercer Human Resources that works for the Personnel Committee is independent of Nokia and does not have any other business relationships with Nokia.
The Personnel Committee reviews the executive officers' compensation on an annual basis and from time to time during the year when special needs arise. Without management present, the Personnel Committee reviews and recommends to the Board the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the President and CEO, evaluates the performance of the President and CEO in light of those goals and objectives, and proposes to the Board the compensation level of the President and CEO, which is confirmed by the independent members of the Board. Management's role is to provide any information requested by the Personnel Committee to assist in their deliberations.
In addition, upon recommendation of the President and CEO, the Personnel Committee approves all compensation for all the members of the Group Executive Board (excluding that of the President and
CEO of Nokia) and other direct reports to the President and CEO, including long-term equity incentives and goals and objectives relevant to compensation. The Personnel Committee also reviews the results of the evaluation of the performance of the Group Executive Board members (excluding the President and CEO) and other direct reports to the President and CEO and approves their incentive compensation based on such evaluation.
The Personnel Committee considers the following factors, among others, in its review when determining the compensation of Nokia's executive officers:
- » The compensation levels for similar positions (in terms of scope of position, revenues, number of employees, global responsibility and reporting relationships) in relevant comparison companies;
- » The performance demonstrated by the executive officer during the last year;
- » The size and impact of the role on Nokia's overall performance and strategic direction;
- » The internal comparison to the compensation levels of the other executive officers of Nokia; and
- » Past experience and tenure in role.
The above factors are assessed by the Personnel Committee in totality.
Nokia's management performed an internal risk assessment of Nokia's compensation policies and practices for its employees in 2009. The internal risk assessment concluded that there are no risks arising from Nokia's compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Nokia. The findings of the analysis were reported to the Personnel Committee.
Components of executive compensation
Nokia's compensation program for executive officers includes annual cash compensation in the form of a base salary, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity-based incentive awards in the form of performance shares, stock options and restricted shares.
Annual cash compensation
Base salaries are targeted at globally competitive market levels.
Short-term cash incentives are an important element of our variable pay programs and are tied directly to Nokia's and the executive's performance. The short-term cash incentive opportunity is expressed as a percentage of the executive officer's annual base salary. These award opportunities and measurement criteria are presented in the table below.
Measurement criteria for the short-term cash incentive plan include those financial objectives that are considered important measures of Nokia's success in driving increased shareholder value. Financial
objectives are established that are based on a number of factors and are intended to be stretch targets that, if achieved, we believe, will result in performance that would exceed that of our key competitors in the high technology, telecommunications and Internet services industries. The target setting, as well as the weighting of each measure, also requires the Personnel Committee's approval. The following table reflects the measurement criteria that are established for the President and CEO and members of the Group Executive Board and the relative weighting of each objective for the year 2009.
Incentive as a % of annual base salary in 2009
| Position | Minimum performance, % |
Target performance, % |
Maximum performance, % |
Measurement criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| President and CEO | 0 | 100 | 225 | (a) Financial Objectives (includes targets for net sales, operating profit and operating cash flow management and key business goals) |

1 Total shareholder return reflects the change in Nokia's share price during an established time period added with the value of dividends per share paid during the said period, divided by Nokia's share price at the beginning of the period. The calculation is the same also for each company in the said peer group.
2 Only some members of the Group Executive Board are eligible for the additional 25% total shareholder return element.
The short-term incentive payout is based on performance relative to targets set for each measurement criteria listed in the table above and includes: (1) a comparison of Nokia's actual performance to preestablished targets for net sales, operating profit and operating cash flow management and key business goals and (2) a comparison of each executive officer's individual performance to his/her predefined individual strategic objectives and targets. Individual strategic objectives include key criteria which are the cornerstone for the success of Nokia's long-term strategy and require a discretionary assessment of performance by the Personnel Committee.
When determining the final incentive payout, the Personnel Committee determines an overall score for each executive based on the degree to which (a) Nokia's financial objectives and key business goals have been achieved together with (b) qualitative and quantitative scores assigned to the individual strategic objectives. The final incentive payout is determined by multiplying each executive's eligible salary by: (i) his/her incentive target percentage; and (ii) the score resulting from the above mentioned factors (a) and (b). The resulting score for each executive is then multiplied by an "affordability factor," which is determined based on overall sales, profitability and cash flow of Nokia. The Personnel Committee may apply discretion when evaluating actual results against targets and the resulting incentive payouts. In certain exceptional situations, the actual short-term
cash incentive awarded to the executive officer could be zero. The maximum payout is only possible with maximum performance on all measures.
The portion of the short-term cash incentives that is tied to (a) Nokia's financial objectives and key business goals and (b) individual strategic objectives and targets, is paid twice each year based on the performance for each of Nokia's short-term plans that end on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Another portion of the short-term cash incentives is paid annually at the end of the year, based on the Personnel Committee's assessment of (c) Nokia's total shareholder return compared to key competitors, which are selected by the Personnel Committee, in the high technology, Internet services and telecommunications industries and relevant market indices over one-, three- and five-year periods. In the case of the President and CEO, the annual incentive award is also partly based on his performance compared against (d) strategic leadership objectives, including performance in key markets, development of strategic capabilities enhanced competitiveness of core businesses and executive development.
For more information on the actual cash compensation paid in 2009 to Nokia's executive officers, see "Summary compensation table 2009" on page 84.
Long-term equity-based incentives
Long-term equity-based incentive awards in the form of performance shares, stock options and restricted shares are used to align executive officers interests with shareholders' interests, reward performance and encourage retention. These awards are determined on the basis of the factors discussed above in "Executive compensation philosophy, programs and decision-making process", including a comparison of the executive officer's overall compensation with that of other executives in the relevant market and the impact on the competitiveness of the executive's compensation package in that market. Performance
shares are Nokia's main vehicle for long-term equitybased incentives and reward the achievement of both Nokia's long-term financial results and an increase in share price. Performance shares vest as shares, if at least one of the pre-determined threshold performance levels, tied to Nokia's financial performance, is achieved by the end of the performance period and the value is dependent on Nokia's share price. Stock options are granted to fewer employees that are in more senior and executive positions. Stock options create value for the executive officer, once vested, if the Nokia share price is higher than the exercise price of the stock option established at grant, thereby aligning the interests of the executives with those of the shareholders. Restricted shares are used primarily for retention purposes and they vest fully after the close of a pre-determined restriction period. These equitybased incentive awards are generally forfeited if the executive leaves Nokia prior to vesting. In addition, any shares granted are subject to the share ownership guidelines as explained below.
Information on the actual equity-based incentives granted to the members of Nokia's Group Executive Board is included in "Share ownership" on page 89.

1 The positions set forth in this table are the current positions of the named executives. Until October 30, 2009, Mr. Ihamuotila served as Executive Vice President and Global Head of Sales. Mr. Simonson served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer until October 30, 2009.
- 2 Bonus payments are part of Nokia's short-term cash incentives. The amount consists of the bonus awarded and paid or payable by Nokia for the respective fiscal year.
- 3 Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of equity grants awarded in the respective fiscal year. The fair value of stock options equals the estimated fair value on the grant date, calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of performance shares and restricted shares equals the estimated fair value on grant date. The estimated fair value is based on the grant date market price of the Nokia share less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. The value of the performance shares is presented on the basis of a number of shares, which is two times the number of shares at threshold. The value of restricted shares and performance shares at maximum (four times the number of shares at threshold), for each of the named executive officer, is as follows: Mr. Kallasvuo EUR 5 586 450; Mr. Ihamuotila EUR 1 249 720; Mr. Simonson EUR 2 024 831; Mr. Vanjoki EUR 1 438 576; Mr. Öistämö EUR 1 510 538 and Ms. McDowell EUR 1 328 290.

4 The change in pension value represents the proportionate change in the liability related to the individual executive. These executives are covered by the Finnish State employees' pension act ("TyEL") that provides for a retirement benefit based on years of service and earnings according to the prescribed statutory system. The TyEL system is a partly funded and a partly pooled "pay as you go" system. Effective March 1, 2008, Nokia transferred its TyEL pension liability and assets to an external Finnish insurance company and no longer carries the liability on its financial statements. The figures shown represent only the change in liability for the funded portion. The method used to derive the actuarial IFRS valuation is based upon available salary information at the respective year end. Actuarial assumptions including salary increases and inflation have been determined to arrive at the valuation at the respective year end.
-
5 The change in pension value for Mr. Kallasvuo includes the reduction of EUR 1 571 for the proportionate change in the liability related to the individual under the funded part of the Finnish TyEL pension (see footnote 4 above). In addition, it includes EUR 1 360 000 for the change in liability in the early retirement benefit at the age of 60 provided under his service contract. Nokia carries the liability on its books for the early retirement benefit. Considerable portion of this change in pension liability stems from the actuarial change to the discount interest rate used in the calculation.
- 6 All other compensation for Mr. Kallasvuo in 2009 includes: EUR 130 000 for his services as member of the Board or Directors, see page 81 "Remuneration of the Board of Directors in 2009" above; EUR 21 540 for car allowance, EUR 10 000 for financial counseling, EUR 10 989 for taxable benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance, EUR 4 719 for driver and for mobile phone.
- 7 All other compensation for Mr. Ihamuotila in 2009 includes: EUR 7 620 for car allowance, EUR 10 000 for financial counseling, EUR 2 337 for the amount related to the end of his international assignment in the United States under Nokia's policy, EUR 1 238 taxable benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile phone.
- 8 Salaries, benefits and perquisites for Ms. McDowell and Mr. Simonson are paid and denominated in USD. Amounts were converted to euro using year-end 2009 USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.43. For year 2008 disclosure, amounts were converted to euro using the year-end 2008 USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.40. For year 2007 disclosure, amounts were converted to euro using year-end 2007 USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.47.
- 9 All other compensation for Mr. Simonson in 2009 includes: EUR 96 498 company contributions to the Restoration & Deferral plan, EUR 11 538 company contributions to the 401(k) plan, EUR 12 345 for car allowance, EUR 11 194 for financial counseling, EUR 3 391 imputed income under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
10 All other compensation for Mr. Vanjoki in 2009 includes: EUR 19 817 for car allowance and driver benefit, EUR 10 000 for financial counseling, EUR 1 238 as taxable benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile phone.
11 All other compensation for Mr. Öistämö in 2009 includes: EUR 18 540 for car allowance, EUR 10 000 for financial counseling, EUR 1 238 as taxable benefit for premiums paid under supplemental medical and disability insurance and for mobile phone.
- 12 All other compensation for Ms. McDowell in 2009 includes: EUR 12 345 for car allowance, EUR 10 996 for financial counseling, EUR 10 280 company contributions to the 401(k) plan and EUR 105 as service award under Nokia's policy.

Pension arrangements for the members of the Group Executive Board
The members of the Group Executive Board participate in the local retirement programs applicable to employees in the country where they reside. Executives in Finland participate in the Finnish TyEL pension system, which provides for a retirement benefit based on years of service and earnings according to a prescribed statutory system. Under the Finnish TyEL pension system, base pay, incentives and other taxable fringe benefits are included in the definition of earnings, although gains realized from equity are not. The Finnish TyEL pension scheme provides for early retirement benefits at age 62 with a reduction in the amount of retirement benefits. Standard retirement benefits are available from age 63 to 68, according to an increasing scale.
Executives in the United States participate in Nokia's Retirement Savings and Investment Plan. Under this 401(k) plan, participants elect to make voluntary pre-tax contributions that are 100% matched by Nokia up to 8% of eligible earnings. 25% of the employer match vests for the participants for each year of their employment. Participants earning in excess of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) eligible earning
limits may participate in the Nokia Restoration and Deferral Plan which allows employees to defer up to 50% of their salary and 100% of their bonus into this non-qualified plan. Contributions to the Restoration and Deferral Plan in excess of IRS deferral limits will be matched 100% up to 8% of eligible earnings less contributions made to the 401(k) plan.
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo can, as part of his service contract, retire at the age of 60 with full retirement benefits should he be employed by Nokia at the time. The full retirement benefit is calculated as if Mr. Kallasvuo had continued his service with Nokia through the retirement age of 65.
Hallstein Moerk, following his arrangement with a previous employer, and continuing in his current position at Nokia, has a retirement benefit of 65% of his pensionable salary beginning at the age of 62 and early retirement is possible at the age of 55 with reduced benefits. Mr. Moerk will retire at the end of September 2010 at the age of 57.
Service contracts
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo's service contract covers his current position as President and CEO and Chairman of the Group Executive Board. As at December 31, 2009, Mr. Kallasvuo's annual total gross base salary, which is subject to an annual review by the Board of Directors and confirmation by the independent members of the Board, is EUR 1 176 000. His incentive targets under the Nokia short-term cash incentive plan are 150% of an3 The fair value of performance shares and restricted shares equals the estimated fair value on grant date. The estimated fair value is based on the grant date market price of the Nokia share less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. The value of performance shares is presented on the basis of a number of shares, which is two times the number at threshold.
nual gross base salary. In case of termination by Nokia for reasons other than cause, including a change of control, Mr. Kallasvuo is entitled to a severance payment of up to 18 months of compensation (both annual total gross base salary and target incentive). In case of termination by Mr. Kallasvuo, the notice period is six months and he is entitled to a payment for such notice period (both annual total gross base salary and target incentive for six months). Mr. Kallasvuo is subject to a 12-month non-competition obligation after termination of the contract. Unless the contract is terminated for cause, Mr. Kallasvuo may be entitled to compensation during the non-competition period or a part of it. Such compensation amounts to the annual total gross base salary and target incentive for the respective period during which no severance payment is paid.
Equity-based compensation programs
General
During the year ended December 31, 2009, Nokia sponsored three global stock option plans, five global performance share plans and four global restricted share plans. Both executives and employees participate in these plans. Performance shares are the main element of the company's broad-based equity compensation program to further emphasize the performance element in employees' long-term incentives.
Our compensation programs promote long-term value sustainability of the company and ensure that remuneration is based on performance. The rationale for using both performance shares and stock options for employees in higher job grades is to build an optimal and balanced combination of longterm equity-based incentives. The equity-based compensation programs intend to align the potential value received by participants directly with the performance of Nokia. We also have granted restricted shares to a small selected number of key employees each year.
The equity-based incentive grants are generally conditioned upon continued employment with Nokia, as well as the fulfillment of performance and other conditions, as determined in the relevant plan rules.
The broad-based equity compensation program for 2009, which was approved by the Board of Directors, followed the structure of the program in 2008. The participant group for the 2009 equity-based incentive program continued to be broad, with a wide number of employees in many levels of the organization eligible to participate. As at December 31, 2009, the aggregate number of participants in all of Nokia's equity-based programs was approximately 13 000 compared with approximately 18 000 as at December 31, 2008 reflecting changes in Nokia's grant guidelines and reduction in eligible population.
The employees of Nokia Siemens Networks including the Chief Executive Officer of Nokia Siemens Networks have not participated in any new Nokia equity-based incentive plans since the formation of Nokia Siemens Networks on April 1, 2007.
For a more detailed description of all of Nokia's equity-based incentive plans, see Note 23 "Sharebased payment" to Nokia's consolidated financial statements on page 37.
Performance shares
We have granted performance shares under the global 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 plans, each of which, including its terms and conditions, has been approved by the Board of Directors.
The performance shares represent a commitment by Nokia Group to deliver Nokia shares to employees at a future point in time, subject to Nokia's fulfillment of pre-defined performance criteria. No performance shares will vest unless Nokia's performance reaches at least one of the threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defined performance criteria: The Group's average annual net sales growth for the performance period of the plan and earnings per share ("EPS") at the end of the performance period.
The 2005 Performance Share Plan has a fouryear performance period and a two-year interim measurement period. The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 plans have a three-year performance period with no interim measurement period. The shares vest after the respective interim measurement period and/or the performance period. The shares will be delivered to the participants as soon as practicable after they vest.
The below table summarizes the relevant periods and settlements under the plans.

| 2009 | 2009–2011 | N/A | N/A | 2012 |
Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with the performance shares. The performance share grants are generally forfeited if the employment relationship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting.
The performance share grants are approved by the CEO at the end of the respective calendar quarter on the basis of an authorization given by the Board of Directors. Performance share grants to the CEO are made upon recommendation by the Personnel Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and confirmed by the independent members of the Board. Performance share grants to the other Group Executive Board members and other direct reports of the CEO are approved by the Personnel Committee.
Stock options
Nokia's global stock option plans in effect for 2009, including their terms and conditions, were approved by the Annual General Meetings in the year when each plan was launched, i.e., in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
Each stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one new Nokia share. The stock options are nontransferable. All of the stock options have a vesting schedule with a 25% vesting one year after grant and 6.25% each quarter thereafter. The stock options granted under the plans generally have a term of five years.
The exercise price of the stock options are determined at the time of grant on a quarterly basis. The exercise prices are determined in accordance with a pre-agreed schedule quarterly after the release of Nokia's periodic financial results and are based on the trade volume weighted average price of a Nokia share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki during the trading days of the first whole week of the second month of the respective calendar quarter (i.e., February, May, August or November). Exercise prices are determined on a oneweek weighted average to mitigate any short-term fluctuations in Nokia's share price. The determination of exercise price is defined in the terms and conditions of the stock option plan, which are approved by the shareholders at the respective Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors does not have the right
Stock option grants are approved by the CEO at the time of stock option pricing on the basis of an authorization given by the Board of Directors. Stock option grants to the CEO are made upon recommendation by the Personnel Committee and a re approved by the Board of Directors and confirmed by the independent members of the Board. Stock option grants to the other Group Executive Board members and to other direct reports of the CEO are made by the Personnel Committee.
Restricted shares
Nokia has granted restricted shares to recruit, retain, reward and motivate selected high potential employees, who are critical to the future success of Nokia. It is Nokia's philosophy that restricted shares will be used only for key management positions and other critical talent. The outstanding global restricted share plans, including their terms and conditions, have been approved by the Board of Directors.
All of Nokia's restricted share plans have a restriction period of three years after grant. Once the shares vest, they are transferred and delivered to the participants. The restricted share grants are generally forfeited if the employment relationship terminates with Nokia prior to vesting. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants do not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights, associated with the restricted shares. Restricted share grants are approved by the CEO at the end of the respective calendar quarter on the basis of an authorization given by the Board of Directors. Restricted share grants to the CEO are made upon recommendation by the Personnel Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and confirmed by the independent directors of the Board. Restricted share grants to the other Group Executive Board members and other direct reports of the CEO are approved by the Personnel Committee.
Other equity plans for employees
In addition to Nokia's global equity plans described above, Nokia has equity plans for Nokia-acquired businesses or employees in the United States and Canada under which participants can receive Nokia ADSs or ordinary shares. These equity plans do not result in an increase in the share capital of Nokia.
In connection with Nokia's July 10, 2008 acquisition of NAVTEQ, Nokia assumed NAVTEQ's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan ("NAVTEQ Plan"). All unvested NAVTEQ restricted stock units under the NAVTEQ Plan were converted to an equivalent number of restricted stock units entitling their holders to Nokia shares. The maximum number of Nokia shares to be delivered to NAVTEQ employees during the years 2008–2012 is approximately 3 million of which approximately 1 million shares have already been delivered by December 31, 2009. The Group does not intend to make further awards under the NAVTEQ Plan.
We have also an Employee Share Purchase Plan in the United States, which permits all full-time Nokia employees located in the United States to acquire Nokia ADSs at a 15% discount. The purchase of the ADSs is funded through monthly payroll deductions from the salary of the participants, and the ADSs are purchased on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 12.3 million ADSs had been purchased under this plan since its inception, and there were a total of approximately 760 participants in the plan.
For more information on these plans, see Note 23 "Share-based payment" to Nokia's consolidated financial statements on page 37.
Equity-based compensation program 2010
The Board of Directors announced the proposed scope and design for the Equity Program 2010 on January 28, 2010. The main equity instrument continues to be performance shares. In addition, stock options will be used on a limited basis for senior managers, and restricted shares will be used for a small number of high potential and critical employees. These equitybased incentive awards are generally forfeited if the employee leaves Nokia prior to vesting.
Performance shares
The Performance Share Plan 2010 approved by the Board of Directors will cover a performance period of three years (2010–2012). No performance shares will vest unless Nokia's performance reaches at least one of the threshold levels measured by two independent, pre-defined performance criteria:
- 1 Average Annual Net Sales Growth: 0% (threshold) and 13.5% (maximum) during the performance period 2010–2012, and
- 2 EPS (diluted, non-IFRS): EUR 0.82 (threshold) and EUR 1.44 (maximum) at the end of the performance period in 2012.
Average Annual Net Sales Growth is calculated as an average of the net sales growth rates for the years 2010 through 2012. EPS is the diluted, non-IFRS earnings per share in 2012. Both the EPS and Average Annual Net Sales Growth criteria are equally weighted and performance under each of the two performance criteria is calculated independent of each other.
Achievement of the maximum performance for both criteria would result in the vesting of a maximum of 17 million Nokia shares. Performance exceeding the maximum criteria does not increase the number of
performance shares that will vest. Achievement of the threshold performance for both criteria will result in the vesting of approximately 4.25 million shares. If only one of the threshold levels of performance is achieved, only approximately 2.13 million of the performance shares will vest. If none of the threshold levels is achieved, then none of the performance shares will vest. For performance between the threshold and maximum performance levels, the vesting follows a linear scale. If the required performance levels are achieved, the vesting will occur December 31, 2012. Until the Nokia shares are delivered, the participants will not have any shareholder rights, such as voting or dividend rights associated with these performance shares.
Stock options
The stock options to be granted in 2010 are out of the Stock Option Plan 2007 approved by the Annual General Meeting in 2007. For more information on Stock Option Plan 2007 see "Equity-based compensation programs" on page 86.
Restricted shares
The restricted shares to be granted under the Restricted Share Plan 2010 will have a three-year restriction period (2010–2012). The restricted shares will vest and the payable Nokia shares be delivered in 2013 and early 2014, subject to fulfillment of the service period criteria. Participants will not have any shareholder rights or voting rights during the restriction period, until the Nokia shares are transferred and delivered to plan participants at the end of the restriction period.
Maximum planned grants in 2010
The maximum number of planned grants under the Nokia Equity Program 2010 (i.e., performance shares, stock options and restricted shares) in 2010 are set forth in the table below.
| Plan type | Maximum number of planned grants under the equity program in 2010 |
|---|---|
| Stock options | 8 million |
| Restricted shares | 6 million |
| Performance shares at threshold 1 | 4.25 million |
1 The maximum number of Nokia shares to be delivered at maximum performance is four times the number at threshold, i.e., a total of 17 million Nokia shares.
As at December 31, 2009, the total dilutive effect of Nokia's stock options, performance shares and restricted shares outstanding, assuming full dilution, was approximately 1.6% in the aggregate. The potential maximum effect of the proposed equity program 2010 would be approximately another 0.8%.
Recoupment of certain equity gains
The Board of Directors has approved a policy allowing for the recoupment of equity gains realized by Group Executive Board members under Nokia equity plans in case of a financial restatement caused by an act of fraud or intentional misconduct. This policy will
apply to equity grants made to Group Executive Board members after January 1, 2010.
Share ownership
General
The following section describes the ownership or potential ownership interest in the company of the members of Nokia's Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board, either through share ownership or through holding of equity-based incentives, which may lead to share ownership in the future.
In line with Nokia's policy, approximately 40% of the remuneration paid to the members of the Board of Directors has been paid in Nokia's shares purchased from the market. It is Nokia's policy that the directors retain all company stock received as director compensation until the end of their board membership, subject to the need to finance any costs including taxes relating to the acquisition of the shares. Nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors do not receive stock options, performance shares, restricted shares or other variable compensation.
For a description of Nokia's equity-based compensation programs for employees and executives, see "Equity-based compensation programs" on page 86.
Share ownership of the Board of Directors
At December 31, 2009, the members of Nokia's Board of Directors held the aggregate of 1 626 314 shares and ADSs in Nokia (not including stock options or other equity awards that are deemed as being beneficially owned under applicable SEC rules), which represented 0.04% of Nokia's outstanding shares and total voting rights excluding shares held by Nokia Group at that date.
The following table sets forth the number of shares and ADSs held by members of the Board of Directors as at December 31, 2009.

1 The number of shares or ADSs includes not only shares or ADSs received as director compensation, but also shares or ADSs acquired by any other means.
2 For Mr. Ollila, this table includes his share ownership only. Mr. Ollila was entitled to retain all vested and unvested stock options, performance shares and restricted shares granted to him in respect of his services as the CEO of Nokia prior to June 1, 2006 as approved by the Board of Directors. Therefore, in addition to the above-presented share ownership, Mr. Ollila held, as at December 31, 2009, a total of 1 200 000 stock options. The information relating to stock options held by Mr. Ollila as at December 31, 2009 is presented in the table below.

2 The percentage is calculated in relation to the total outstanding equity incentives per instrument, i.e., stock options, performance shares and restricted shares, as applicable, under the global equity plans.
3 No Nokia shares were delivered under Nokia Performance Share Plan 2007 as Nokia's performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance criterion. Therefore the shares deliverable at threshold equals zero for the performance share plan 2007.
4 No Nokia shares were delivered under Nokia Performance Share Plan 2007 as Nokia's performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance criterion. Therefore the shares deliverable at maximum equals zero for Nokia Performance Share Plan 2007. At maximum performance under the performance share plan 2008 and 2009, the number of shares deliverable equals four times the number of performance shares at threshold.
The following table sets forth the number of shares and ADSs in Nokia (not including stock options or other equity awards that are deemed as being beneficially owned under the applicable SEC rules) held by members of the Group Executive Board as at December 31, 2009.

2 The threshold number will vest as Nokia shares should the pre-determined threshold performance levels be met. No Nokia shares were delivered under the Performance Share Plan 2007 as Nokia's performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance criterion. Therefore the shares deliverable at threshold equals zero for the Performance Share Plan 2007.
3 The maximum number will vest as Nokia shares should the predetermined maximum performance levels be met. The maximum number of performance shares equals four times the number at threshold. No Nokia shares were delivered under the Performance Share Plan 2007 as Nokia's performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance criterion. Therefore the shares deliverable at maximum equals zero for the Performance Share Plan 2007.

The intrinsic value for the Performance Share Plan 2009 is based on the closing market price of a Nokia share on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki as at December 30, 2009 of EUR 8.92. For the Performance Share Plan 2007 no Nokia shares were delivered as Nokia's performance did not reach the threshold level of either performance criterion.
5 Under the Restricted Share Plans 2007, 2008 and 2009, awards have been granted quarterly.

Stock ownership guidelines for executive management
One of the goals of our long-term equity-based incentive program is to focus executives on promoting the long-term sustainability of the company and on building value for shareholders on a long-term basis. In addition to granting stock options, performance shares and restricted shares, we also encourage stock ownership by our top executives and have stock ownership commitment guidelines with minimum recommendations tied to annual base salaries. For the President and CEO, the recommended minimum investment in Nokia shares corresponds to three times his annual base salary and for members of the Group Executive Board two times the member's annual base salary, respectively. To meet this requirement, all members of the Group Executive Board are expected to retain 50% of any after-tax gains from equity programs in shares until the minimum investment level is met. The Personnel Committee regularly monitors the compliance by the executives with the stock ownership guidelines.
Insider trading in securities
The Board of Directors has established and regularly updates a policy in respect of insiders' trading in Nokia securities. The members of the Board and the Group Executive Board are considered as primary insiders. Under the policy, the holdings of Nokia securities by the primary insiders are public information, which is available from Euroclear Finland Ltd and on Nokia's website. Both primary insiders and secondary insiders (as defined in the policy) are subject to a number of trading restrictions and rules, including, among other things, prohibitions on trading in Nokia securities during the three-week "closed-window" period immediately preceding the release of Nokia's quarterly results and the four-week "closed-window" period immediately preceding the release of Nokia's annual results. In addition, Nokia may set trading restrictions based on participation in projects. Nokia updates its insider trading policy from time to time and closely monitors compliance with the policy on a regular basis. Nokia's insider policy is in line with the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Guidelines for Insiders and also sets requirements beyond those guidelines.
Auditor fees and services
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has served as our independent auditor for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. The independent auditor is elected annually by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting for the fiscal year in question. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors makes a proposal to the shareholders in respect of the appointment of the auditor based upon its evaluation of the qualifications and independence of the auditor to be proposed for election or re-election on an annual basis.
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for professional services and other services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers to Nokia in 2009 and 2008 in total with a separate presentation of those fees related to Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks.

Audit committee pre-approval policies and procedures
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible, among other matters, for the oversight of the external auditor subject to the requirements of Finnish law. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy regarding pre-approval of audit and permissible nonaudit services provided by our independent auditors (the "Policy").
Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee without a specific case-by-case services approvals ("general pre-approval"); or (ii) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee ("specific preapproval"). The Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The appendices to the Policy set out the audit, audit-related, tax and other services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. All other audit, audit-related (including services related to internal controls and significant
M&A projects), tax and other services are subject to a specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. All service requests concerning generally pre-approved services will be submitted to the Corporate Controller who will determine whether the services are within the services generally pre-approved. The Policy and its appendices are subject to annual review by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee establishes budgeted fee levels annually for each of the four categories of audit and non-audit services that are pre-approved under the Policy, namely, audit, audit-related, tax and other services. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Corporate Controller. At each regular meeting of the Audit Committee, the independent auditor provides a report in order for the Audit Committee to review the services that the auditor is providing, as well as the status and cost of those services.
