The following are proposed for election as new members: Esko Aho, President of Sitra, the Finnish National Fund for Research and Development; and Christian Ramm-Schmidt, CEO of Baltic Beverages Holding AB. All candidates have given their consent to the tasks. 11. Election of Auditor On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting elect Deloitte & Touche Oy, chartered accountants, as the auditor. 12. Proposal to authorise the Board of Directors to decide to repurchase Fortum shares The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board of Directors to decide to repurchase the company’s own shares by using funds available for distribution of profit. The authorisation is proposed to be valid for one year from the date of the decision of the Annual General Meeting. The proposal is the first step in a planned share repurchase programme targeting at repurchasing Fortum shares by using funds in the maximum amount of EUR 1000 million during the next three years. The shares will be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the company. The maximum amount of shares to be repurchased is 35 million shares. In addition, the amount of funds used for the repurchases may not exceed EUR 500 million. The proposed maximum amount of shares to be repurchased corresponds to approximately four per cent of the share capital of the company and the total voting rights. The shares will be repurchased through public trading of the securities on the Helsinki Stock Exchange at the market price of the shares at the time of the repurchase. The repurchases shall be carried out and settled according to the Rules of the Helsinki Stock Exchange and the Rules of the Finnish Central Securities Depository. Shares repurchased by the company shall be cancelled either by decreasing the share capital through a decision made by a General Meeting of Shareholders or without decreasing the share capital through a decision of the Board of Directors, provided that under the new Companies Act proposed to enter into force in September 2006 the Board of Directors is entitled to cancellation. The repurchase of the shares will reduce the company's distributable retained earnings. The repurchase will not have a material impact on the division of the ownership of the shares and the voting rights. 13. Proposal by the State of Finland to appoint a Nomination Committee The State of Finland represented by the Ministry of Trade and Industry, proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to appoint a Nomination Committee to prepare proposals concerning Board members and their emoluments for the following Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee would consist of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, acting as an expert member, and the representatives of the three main shareholders. The three shareholders whose share of the total votes of all the shares of the company is largest on the 1st day of November preceding the Annual General Meeting would have the right to appoint the members representing the shareholders. Should a shareholder not wish to use its right to nominate, this right would be passed on to the next biggest shareholder. The largest shareholders would be determined on the basis of the ownership information registered in the book-entry system. In the case of an owner required by the Securities Markets Act to report certain changes in ownership (flagging by shareholder required), ownership distributed among various funds, for example, would be counted as one holding, should the owner inform the Board in writing of this request no later than on 31 October 2006. The Nomination Committee would be convened by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the Committee would choose a chairman from among its own members. The Committee should give its proposal to the Board of Directors of the company at the latest by the 1st of February preceding the Annual General Meeting. 14.
