APPENDIX 1

The Board of Directors was authorized to acquire the company’s own
shares on the following terms:

a)The company’s own shares are acquired to solidify the
company’s capital structure and to be used as compensation in
business and company acquisitions and other structural
arrangements. The manner and scope of these transactions is at the
discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board can also initiate
the invalidation of shares by decreasing the capital stock.

b)No more than a total of 67,213 company A-shares and no
more than 23,850 company K-shares will be acquired.

c)The shares will be acquired as follows:
The company’s A-shares are acquired in another proportion than
the shareholders’ proportional shareholdings through public
trading at the Helsinki Stock Exchange, as decided upon by the
Board of Directors. The price of the shares is determined at
time of purchase by the rules and regulations of the Helsinki
Stock Exchange.

The company’s K-shares are acquired in proportion to the value
of shareholder ownership by making an offer of purchase to K-
shareholders. The value of the offer is determined by
calculating the weighted average value of the A-shares for a
period of two weeks of public trading at the Helsinki Stock
Exchange prior to the signing of the offer of purchase. In the
event that the number of K-shares stated in the decision reached
by the Annual General Meeting cannot be acquired, the Board may
acquire the remaining number of shares from those holders of K-
shares who are willing to sell more than their proportionate
part of the number of shares to be acquired. If the number of
shares offered exceeds the number of shares to be acquired, the
Board will take the sellers´ shareholding and the number of
shares on offer into consideration before deciding how to divide
the acquisition of shares between the sellers.

d)The acquisition of shares is carried out using distributable
earnings. The acquisition, therefore, reduces the total
distributable unrestricted shareholders´ equity.

4(5)
e)The authorization for share acquisition is valid until the
Annual General Meeting for 2004, how ever for no more than one
full year after the decision was reached by the Annual General
Meeting.

f)Other matters pertaining to the acquisition of shares are at the
discretion of the company’s Board of Directors.

APPENDIX 2

The Board of Directors was authorized to relinquish the company’s
own shares with the following terms:

a)The authorised total amount is not to exceed 67,213 A-shares and
23,850 K-shares acquired for the company.

b)The Board of Directors is authorized to decide to whom
and in what order the shares will be relinquished. The Board of
Directors has total discretion over the relinquishing and
disposing the shares in another proportion than that of the
shareholders´ pre-emptive rights to the company shares.

c)The shares are relinquished as compensation in business
and company acquisitions or used in other structural arrangements
over which the Board of Directors has complete discretion. In
addition, the Board of Directors is allowed to make decisions
over the sale of company’s own A-shares through public trading
at the Helsinki Stock Exchange to secure funds for future
company acquisitions or investments.

d)The Board of Directors will determine the transfer price
of the shares and the principles used to establish that transfer price.
Shares may be transferred in exchange for non-monetary
remuneration.

e)The authorization for relinquishing shares is valid until
the 2004 annual general meeting and for no longer than one full
year beginning from the decision reached by the annual general
meeting.

the discretion of the company´s Board of Directors.
