pay or free of charge. 

The new shares can be issued and the Company's own shares conveyed either
against payment or for free to the Company's shareholders in proportion to
their holding or by means of a directed issue, deviating from the pre-emptive
rights of the shareholders provided that from the Company's perspective there
are important financial grounds for it, such as enabling business arrangements
and company acquisitions, company's capital management, personnel incentive
program or other reasons for developing the Company's business activities. 
 
The authorization also includes the right to grant warrants and other special
rights, as specified in the Chapter 10, section 1 of the Companies Act, to
receive new shares in the company or BasWare shares held by the company against
payment such that either the share subscription price will be paid in cash or
the subscriber's receivables will be offset against the subscription price. 

The authorization also includes the right to resolve on a free issue to the
Company itself. The amount of the shares issued to the Company can be a maximum
of 1 146 812 shares, including shares acquired based on the authorization or
the previously acquired own shares of the Company. 

The subscription prices of new shares and the sum paid for the own shares will

Meeting. 

Warrants

The Annual General Meeting resolved to issue warrants to the key personnel of
BasWare Group and to a subsidiary wholly owned by BasWare Corp., according to
the attached terms and conditions. 

The shareholders' pre-emptive rights for share subscription are deviated from
to grant warrants to the key personnel of BasWare Group, identified by the
Board of Directors and employed for the time being and not part time, to
increase their commitment and motivation. Part of the warrants are granted to a
subsidiary wholly owned by BasWare Corp. to be granted further to employees of
the Group or to persons recruited to the Company. 

The shareholders' pre-emptive rights are deviated from because the warrants are
meant to be a part of the Group's incentive program and thus there are
important financial grounds for it from the Company's perspective. 

The warrants are granted free of charge. The Board of Directors shall decide
upon the procedure and schedule of the approval of warrants. The warrants will
be granted to the Group's personnel and management according to the resolution
of the Board. 

BasWare Corp. grants a maximum of 200 000 warrants of which 100 000 are marked
with letter D and 100 000 with letter E. The warrants will be issued in the
book-entry system. Each warrant entitles to a subscription of one (1) BasWare
share. 

The subscription price of the share will be recorded to EUR 0.30 in the share
capital of the Company and for the remainder in the fund for invested
non-restricted equity. BasWare's share capital can increase by a maximum of 200
000 new shares or EUR 60 000 based on the subscriptions. 

The subscription period is
- warrant D April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2010,
- warrant E April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011

The subscription prices correspond to
- for warrant D, the volume-weighted average share price of the Company in
January-March of 2007 
- for warrant E, the volume-weighted average share price of the Company in
January-March of 2008 

The portion of shares subscribed based on the now issued warrants totals a
maximum of 1.71% of the Company's shares and votes after the possible increase
in share capital. 

First meeting of the Board of Directors
 
In its first meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of
Directors elected Hannu Vaajoensuu as chairman and Kirsi Eräkangas as vice
chairman of the Board. The Board further resolved that separate committees
would not be formed in 2007 since the extent of the company's business and the
size of the Board do not require preparation of matters in a smaller group of
directors than the Board.
