The Annual General Meeting of Componenta Corporation, held on 25 February 2008, approved the financial statement for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2007, as well as discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO from liability. The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute a dividend of fifty (50) cents per share for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2007. Dividend will be paid to shareholders registered in the shareholders’ register maintained by the Finnish Central Securities Depository Ltd on the record date, 28 February 2008, as determined by the Board of Directors. The dividend will be paid on the fifth banking day following the record date, 6 March 2008.

The Annual General Meeting elected Heikki Bergholm, Heikki Lehtonen, Juhani Mäkinen, Marjo Raitavuo and Matti Tikkakoski as members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors had an initial meeting after the Annual General Meeting and elected Heikki Bergholm as its Chairman and Juhani Mäkinen as Vice Chairman.

The Annual General Meeting elected APA firm, Oy Audicon Ab, as the company’s auditor.

The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors, in accordance with its proposal, to resolve on the repurchase of own shares as follows:

The authorization covers a maximum of 1,000,000 own shares using the unrestricted shareholders’ equity of the company.

The shares shall be repurchased through public trading, for which reason the shares are repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders. The purchase of the shares shall be based on the market price of Componenta’s share in public trading. The repurchases shall be carried out on the OMX Nordic Exchange in Helsinki in accordance with its rules and regulations.

The Board of Directors may not implement the authorization to repurchase own shares if, following the repurchase, the company or its subsidiary would possess or hold as pledge more than ten (10) per cent of all shares of the company. The authorization does not exclude the right of the Board of Directors to resolve on a directed share repurchase.

The authorization is in force for a period of 18 months from the resolution by the General Meeting.

The corresponding authorization by the 2007 Annual General Meeting to the Board of Directors on the repurchase of own shares was revoked.
