GLASTON CORPORATION: RESOLUTIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting of Glaston Corporation was held on 17 April 2013 in Helsinki. The General Meeting adopted the financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the financial period from 1 January to 31 December 2012. In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting resolved that no dividend shall be distributed.

The General Meeting discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO from liability concerning the financial year from 1 January – 31 December 2012.

The number of the members of the Board of Directors was resolved to be six. The General Meeting decided to re-elect
Andreas Tallberg, Anu Hämäläinen, Claus von Bonsdorff, Pekka Vauramo and Teuvo Salminen, currently members of the Board of Directors, as members of the Board of Directors for the following term ending at the closing of the next Annual General Meeting.

In its organization meeting held after the General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected
Andreas Tallberg as Chairman of the Board and Christer Sumelius as Vice Chairman of the Board.

The General Meeting resolved that the yearly remuneration payable to the members of the Board of Directors remain as follows: 40,000 euro for the Chairman of the Board and 30,000 euro for the Vice Chairman of the Board and the remuneration payable to other members of the Board of Directors shall remain at 20,000 euro.

The General Meeting elected Authorised Public Accounting firm Ernst & Young Oy as the company’s auditor with Authorised Public Accountant Harri Pärssinen as the main responsible auditor.

The General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other rights entitling to shares. The authorisation consists of up to 20,000,000 shares in the aggregate.

The authorisation does not exclude the Board of Directors' right to decide on a directed issue. The authorisation was proposed to be used for material arrangements from the company's point of view, such as financing or implementing business arrangements or investments or for other such purposes determined by the Board of Directors in which case a weighty financial reason for issuing shares, options or other rights and possibly directing a share issue would exist.

The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on all other terms and conditions of the issuance of shares, options and other rights entitling to shares as referred to in Chapter 10 of the Companies Act, including the payment period, grounds for the determination of the subscription price and subscription price or allocation of shares, option or other rights free of charge or that the subscription price may be paid besides in cash also by other assets either partially or entirely.

The authorisation is effective until 30 June 2014. The authorisation supersedes earlier authorisations.

The General Meeting resolved to establish a permanent Nomination Board consisting of shareholders or representatives of shareholders to prepare and present for the next Annual General Meeting and, if necessary, to an Extraordinary General Meeting, proposals concerning the number and identities of the members of the Board of Directors and the remuneration of the Board of Directors. In addition, the task of the Nomination Board is to seek candidates as potential board members.

The Nomination Board consists of four members, all of which shall be appointed by the Company’s four largest shareholders, who shall appoint one member each. The Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors shall serve as an advisory member of the Nomination Board.

The Company’s largest shareholders entitled to appoint members to the Nomination Board shall be determined on the basis of the registered holdings in the Company’s shareholder register held by Euroclear Finland Ltd as of the first working day in September in the year concerned. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall request each of the four largest shareholders to appoint one member to the Nomination Board. In the event that a shareholder does not wish to exercise his or her right to appoint a representative, it shall pass to the next-largest shareholder who would not otherwise be entitled to appoint a member to the Nomination Board.

The Nomination Board shall elect a Chairman from among its members. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the Nomination Board and the Nomination Board’s Chairman shall be responsible for convening subsequent meetings.

The Nomination Board shall deliver its proposal, which will be included in the notice to the General Meeting, to the Company's Board of Directors by the end of January preceding the next Annual General Meeting.
