Tieto Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 26 January 2016, 10.00 EET

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board of Tieto Corporation proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the meeting would decide as follows:

1 Number and composition of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of Directors shall have eight members and that the current Board members Kurt Jofs, Sari Pajari, Markku Pohjola, Endre Rangnes, Jonas Synnergren and Lars Wollung be re-elected and in addition Johanna Lamminen and Harri-Pekka Kaukonen are proposed to be elected as new Board members. Eva Lindqvist and Teuvo Salminen have informed that they are not available for re-election. The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that Markku Pohjola shall be re-elected as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The term of office of the Board members ends at the close of the next Annual General Meeting. All the proposed candidates have given their consent to being elected.

Johanna Lamminen (born 1966) is the Chief Executive Officer of Gasum Oy, a Finnish company offering natural gas and biogas for energy production, industry, homes and transport. Previously, she held executive positions in Danske Bank Oyj, Evli Pankki Oyj and SSH Communications Security Oyj. Johanna has graduated as LicSc. (Tech.) from Tampere University of Technology and conducted a MBA in Helsinki University of Technology.

Harri-Pekka Kaukonen (born 1963) is the former President and CEO of Sanoma Corporation, a European media and learning company. Previously, he has acted in various positions within Fazer Group, also having served as Fazer’s Deputy CEO. Prior to that he was a partner and held various other positions at a consultant company McKinsey. By his education Harri-Pekka is DSc. (Tech.).

The biographical details of the candidates and information on their holdings shall be available on Tieto’s website at www.tieto.com/cv.

In addition to the above candidates, the company’s personnel shall appoint two members, each with a personal deputy, to the Board of Directors. The term of office for the personnel representatives is two years and Esa Koskinen (deputy Ilpo Waljus) and Anders Palklint (deputy Robert Spinelli) are appointed to the Board until the Annual General Meeting 2018.

2 Remuneration of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the remuneration of the Board of Directors will be annual fees and remain unchanged as follows: EUR 83 000 to the Chairman, EUR 52 500 to the Deputy Chairman and EUR 34 500 to the ordinary members of the Board of Directors. The same fee as to the Board Deputy Chairman will be paid to the Chairman of Board Committee unless the same individual is also the Chairman or Deputy Chairman of the Board. In addition to these fees it is proposed that the member of the Board of the Directors be paid a remuneration of EUR 800 for each Board meeting and for each permanent or temporary committee meeting. It is the company’s practice not to pay fees to Board members who are also employees of the Tieto Group.

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that 40% of the fixed annual remuneration be paid in Tieto Corporation’s shares purchased from the market. The shares will be purchased within two weeks from the release of the interim report 1 January–31 March 2016. According to the proposal, the Annual General Meeting will resolve to acquire the shares directly on behalf of the members of the Board which is an approved manner to acquire the company’s shares in accordance with the applicable insider rules. The Shareholders’ Nomination Board is of the opinion that increasing long-term shareholding of the Board members will benefit all the shareholders.
