The shares subscribed for with options by 7 March 2007 are entitled to a dividend possibly paid for 2006 during the spring of 2007. The holders of these new shares are also entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting in the spring of 2007 under the terms indicated in the notice to the shareholders' meeting.

Since the subscription price of the shares subscribed for under any Fortum option scheme equals the nominal value of the share, EUR 3.40, any dividends paid do not reduce the subscription price.
