The shareholder, his/her authorized representative or proxy representative is
required, where necessary, to be able to prove his/her identity and/or right of
representation.

1. Holders of nominee registered shares

A holder of nominee registered shares has the right to participate in the
Shareholders' Meeting by virtue of such shares based on which he/she on would
have been entitled to be registered in Neles' register of shareholders held by
Euroclear Finland Oy as at the end of the last trading day of the Company's
share on March 31, 2022. The right to participate in the Shareholders' Meeting
requires, in addition, that the shareholder on the basis of such shares has been
temporarily registered into the shareholder' register held by Euroclear Finland
Oy by June 17, 2022 at 10 a.m. local time, at the latest. As regards nominee
registered shares, this constitutes due registration for Shareholders' Meeting.

A holder of nominee registered shares is advised to request well in advance the
necessary instructions regarding the registration in the temporary shareholders'
register, the issuing of proxy documents and voting, and registration for the
Shareholders' Meeting from his/her custodian bank.

The account management organization of the custodian bank shall register a
holder of the nominee registered shares who wants to participate in the

1. Proxy representative and powers of attorney

A shareholder who has registered for the meeting may participate in and exercise
his/her rights at the Shareholders' Meeting by means of proxy representation.

The proxy representative is required to present a dated proxy document or
otherwise in a reliable manner demonstrate his/her right to represent the
shareholder.

If a shareholder participates in the Shareholders' Meeting by means of several

book-entry accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents
the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the
Shareholders' Meeting.

delivered by email to the address jatta.nylund@valmet.com by the end of the
registration period. A proxy representative must be prepared to present the
proxy document also at the meeting venue.

Shareholders that are legal persons can also use the electronic Suomi.fi
authorization service instead of the traditional proxy in Euroclear Finland's
general meeting service. In this case, the shareholder that is legal person
authorizes an assignee nominated by it in the Suomi.fi service at www.suomi.fi/e
-authorizations using the authorization topic “Representation at the General
Meeting”. The assignee must identify himself or herself with strong electronic
authentication in Euroclear Finland's general meeting service when registering,
after which the electronic mandate is automatically checked. The strong
electronic authentication works with personal banking IDs or a mobile
certificate. More information on www.suomi.fi/e-authorizations and the Neles'
internet pages at www.neles.com/egm

1. Advance voting

Shareholders are recommended to vote in advance as set out in this section C. 4.

A shareholder who has a Finnish book-entry account may vote in advance on
certain items on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting during the time period
June 1, 2022 at 10 a.m. until June 16, 2022 at 2 p.m. local time.

Unless a shareholder voting in advance will be present in person or by proxy in
the meeting, the shareholder may not be able to exercise his/her right under the
Finnish Companies Act to request information or a vote in the meeting. Also, if
decision proposals regarding certain agenda items have been changed after
commencement of the advance voting period, the shareholder's possibility to vote
on such item may be restricted.

Advance voting is possible by the following means:

Through the Company's website at the address www.neles.com/egm

For natural persons, the electronic voting in advance requires secured strong
electronic authentication and the shareholder may vote by logging in with
his/her Finnish online banking codes or a mobile certificate.

For shareholders that are legal persons, no strong electronic authentication is
required. For identification purposes shareholders that are legal persons must
notify their book-entry account number and other required information. If the
shareholders that are legal persons use the electronic Suomi.fi e-authorization,
registration requires a strong electronic authentication of the authorized
person, which works with bank IDs or a mobile certificate.

The conditions and other instructions relating to the electronic advance voting
may be found on the Company's website at the address www.neles.com/egm
