      or other corporate arrangements or for some other similar purpose that the
      Board may consider suitable. Surrender of the shares can also be carried out

      current value at the time of surrender, determined in public trading on
      Helsinki Stock Exchange. The shares may also be surrendered against other
      than monetary consideration. The Board may not make a decision on divergence
      from pre-emptive subscription rights that benefits members of the inner
