Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of

Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

  1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Nokia Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (as Amended and Restated 2012) (the “Plan”) provides only general information. More complete information regarding items such as eligibility requirements, vesting and benefit provisions may be found in the summary plan description, which has been distributed to all Plan participants, and also in the Plan document, which is available to all Plan participants upon request.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers eligible employees of Nokia, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nokia”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

The Plan administrator, Nokia, retains responsibility for oversight of the Plan and the Plan’s day-to-day administration.

Eligibility

Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after completing one hour of service and attaining age 18; however, individuals identified as interns, part-time employees and cooperatives in the payroll system are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

Contributions

Participant contributions take the form of before-tax contributions and are deferred for federal income tax purposes. The Plan does not allow for voluntary after-tax contributions for employees working in the United States. Voluntary after-tax contributions are permitted with respect to those participants who are working outside the United States on temporary assignments.

Participants may also contribute rollover contributions from other qualified plans.

Participants contribute a percentage of their compensation, as defined in the Plan agreement. The maximum contribution rate is 50% of eligible compensation of which up to $16,500 (the maximum annual salary deferral contribution limit as set forth by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for the 2011 plan year (the Plan Year)) may be made pre-tax. All participants who are eligible to make elective deferrals under the Plan and those who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan year were eligible to make additional catch-up contributions of up to $5,500 during the Plan Year.

Participant contributions are matched by the Company in cash at the rate of one dollar per dollar up to 8% of the participants’ eligible earnings. Contributions made by participants and the related company match are invested based on each participant’s election and can be in any combination of investment options under the Plan including Fidelity mutual funds, Nokia ADR shares, and common stocks and other mutual funds through a self-directed brokerage option. Additional discretionary Employer contributions may be made upon the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company made no additional discretionary contributions for the plan year ended December 31, 2011.

There are no restrictions on moving participant contributions and related Company contributions out of the Nokia stock investment option.

Participant and Company contributions are subject to certain IRS limitations.

Notes to Financial Statements

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s voluntary contributions, the employer’s matching contribution, an allocation of the employer’s discretionary contribution, if any, and an allocation of investment income from each fund as defined in the Plan agreement. Plan earnings are allocated to a participant’s account at the rate attributable to the participant’s specific account balance on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business or any other day selected by the Plan’s 401(k) committee. Additionally, the Plan has certain expenses that are deducted from participant accounts. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Participant Loans

Participants are able to borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance at market interest rates payable under various term lengths specified in the loan agreement. The loans, maturing at various dates through 2041, are collateralized by the balance in the participant’s account. The loans bear interest rates that reflect the prime rate for the month when issued and ranged from 3.25 percent to 9.50 percent at December 31, 2011. Principal and interest is repaid ratably through bi-monthly payroll deductions. Participant loans are carried at unpaid principal plus accrued interest.

Vesting

Participants vest in employer contributions at a rate of 25% per year of service, reaching full vesting after four years of service. Participants are always fully vested in their contributions and earnings thereon.

Forfeitures

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $1,519,493 and $1,006,900, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future employer contributions and/or pay Plan administrative fees and certain investment charges. In 2011, employer contributions were reduced by $1,744,209 and Plan administrative fees and certain investment charges of $409,283 were paid from forfeited non-vested accounts.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of employment for reasons other than disability or death, participants’ benefits will be payable as follows (subject to spousal rights, if any):

  • Nokia ADR shares are paid out in cash or certificates as requested by the participant. Fractional shares are paid in cash.

  • A participant whose vested account is more than $1,000 may elect to have benefits paid in a lump-sum payment or may choose to leave funds in the Plan up to age 70½.

  • A participant who has a vested account balance of $1,000 or less will automatically be paid in a lump-sum payment.

Plan Termination

While it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company may discontinue the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. Assets in the Plan will be distributed in accordance with the Plan document.

Notes to Financial Statements

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Income Recognition and Investment Valuation

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Investments in Nokia American Depository Shares (“Nokia ADR shares”) and common stocks are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the year. Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans consist of the outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, of loans to participants at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which approximates fair value.

The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II Fund invests primarily in investment contracts, including guaranteed and security-backed investment contracts. As required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies ( “ASC 946”), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, the contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As a result, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. Fair value of the investment contracts is determined by the fund manager or the fair value of the fund’s investments in externally managed stable value commingled investment funds provided to the fund by external managers of these funds. Contract value consists of the book value, or cost plus accrued interest, of the underlying investment contracts.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at reporting date.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” ASU 2011-4 is intended to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements; and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this update on the Plan’s financial statements.

Collective investment trust 64,372,651 64,372,651

Total assets at fair value $ 507,475,934 $ 64,372,651 $ 571,848,585

Plan Expenses

Expenses incurred by the Plan for audit fees, certain administration fees and certain investment charges are paid by the Plan. All other operating expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will continue to occur in the near term and that such change could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Plan to concentrations of credit risk consist of the Plan’s investments and contributions receivable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Plan’s investments (including investments bought, sold and held during the year) appreciated/(depreciated) in fair value as follows:

Nokia ADR shares $ )
Common stocks (2,190,067 )
Mutual funds (17,427,811 )
Net appreciation/(depreciation) in fair value of investments $ (41,144,001 )

At December 31, 2011, approximately 4% of the Plan’s assets are invested in the Nokia ADR shares (7% at December 31, 2010). The Plan owned 4,357,896 shares with a fair value of $4.82 per share at December 31, 2011 and 3,707,016 shares with a fair value of $10.32 per share at December 31, 2010.

  1. Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company in a letter dated November 16, 2009 that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receipt of the determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

  1. Related Party Transactions

The Plan purchased and sold approximately $5,707,067 and $1,445,719 in Nokia ADR shares, respectively, during 2011. The Nokia ADR shares were purchased/sold in the open market at quoted fair market values at the date of purchase/sale.

The Plan is administered by Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company as the recordkeeper and Fidelity Management Trust Company as the trustee. Accordingly, transactions with the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II Fund qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

  1. Litigation

On April 19, 2010 and April 21, 2010, two individuals filed separate putative class action lawsuits against Nokia and the directors and officers of Nokia, and certain other employees and representatives of the Company, claiming to represent all persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of the Plan who participated in the Plan between January 2, 2008 and the present and whose accounts included investments in Nokia stock. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants failed to comply with their statutory and fiduciary duties when they failed to remove Nokia stock as a plan investment option. The cases were consolidated and an amended consolidated complaint was filed on September 15, 2010. The amended complaint alleged that the named individuals failed to disclose alleged material adverse facts about Nokia’s business, that the matters significantly increased the risk of Nokia stock ownership, and as a result of that knowledge, the named defendants should have removed Nokia stock as a Plan investment option. The plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed in their entirety on September 5, 2011. The plaintiffs’ motion for leave to amend their complaint a second time is pending before the court. Based upon the information currently available, the Plan does not expect the resolution of any of the matters discussed in this note to have material adverse effect on the Plan’s financial condition.
