exercise their rights as shareholders only through voting in advance as well as

by making counterproposals and presenting questions in advance.

The company will publish the notice to the AGM on or about 2 March 2021 with

more detailed information on participation and voting at the meeting. The notice

to the AGM will also include more detailed information on the presentation of

counterproposals and questions. The deadline for presenting counterproposals is

planned to be 5 March 2021 at 12.00 noon (Finnish time), and the deadline for

presenting questions to the company's management pursuant to Chapter 5, Section

25 of the Finnish Companies Act is planned to be 11 March 2021 at 4.00 p.m.

(Finnish time). The registration period and advance voting period for the AGM

are planned to commence on 8 March 2021 at 10.00 a.m. (Finnish time), after the

deadline for delivering counterproposals to be put to a vote has expired.

In addition to the proposals of the Board of Directors presented below, the

Directors be authorized to decide on the repurchase of the company's own shares

as follows:

· The number of own shares to be repurchased shall not exceed 11 800 000

shares, which currently corresponds to approximately 10% of all the shares in

the company. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to

repurchase own shares.

· Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the

date of the repurchase or at a price otherwise formed on the market.

Own shares can be repurchased inter alia by using derivatives. The company's own

shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of

the shareholders (directed repurchase).

follows:

· The number of shares to be issued based on the authorization (including

shares to be issued based on the special rights) shall not exceed 11 800 000

shares, which currently corresponds to approximately 10% of all the shares in

the company. However, out of the above maximum number of shares to be issued no

more than 950 000 shares, currently corresponding to less than 1% of all of the

shares in the company, may be issued as part of the company's share-based

incentive programs.

· The Board of Directors decides on the terms and conditions of the issuance

of shares as well as of option rights and other special rights entitling to

shares. The authorization concerns both the issuance of new shares as well as

the transfer of treasury shares. The issuance of shares as well as of option

rights and other special rights entitling to shares may be carried out in

deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right (directed issue).

The authorization cancels previous unused authorizations to decide on the

issuance of shares as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special

rights entitling to shares. The authorization is effective until the next Annual

General Meeting, however, no longer than until 29 April 2022.
