   the shareholders’ prior subscription right. The authorization
   concerns the 65,000 company shares acquired for the company under
   authorization of the AGM on April 13, 2000. The Board of Directors
   will be authorized to decide to whom and in what order the shares
   will be surrendered. The shares can be surrendered in one or more
   parts as decided by the Board in connection with corporate
   transactions or other arrangements, or for some other similar
   purpose that the Board considers practicable. The shares can also
   be sold in public trading on Helsinki Exchanges at their current
   value at the time of surrender, determined in public trading on
   Helsinki Exchanges. They can also be surrendered against other
   than monetary consideration. The Board of Directors may not decide
   to derogate from a prior subscription right in the interests of
   any party in the inner circle of the company. The authorization is
   valid for one year from the AGM decision.
