board of directors. Upon proposal by a shareholder the Annual General
Meeting elected Christopher Wang as a new ordinary member of the board of
directors. All members were elected for a term ending at the end of the next

REMUNERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Annual General Meeting resolved that the chairman of the board of
directors be paid EUR 2,000 per month and the other members of the board of
directors EUR 1,500 per month. Furthermore it was resolved that no
remuneration will be paid to the members who are employees or managing
director of the company or a subsidiary of the company.

AUDITOR AND REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITOR

Audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, which had stated that APA Mikko
Nieminen will act as the responsible auditor, was appointed as auditor of
the company for a term ending at the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
It was decided that the auditor be paid reasonable remuneration in
accordance with the auditor's invoice, which shall be approved by the
company.

AUTHORISATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DECIDE ON THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES
AND SPECIAL RIGHTS ENTITLING TO SHARES

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise
the Board of Directors to decide to issue at maximum 500,000 new shares and
to convey the Company's 146,200 own shares held by the Company.

The authorisation also includes the right to issue special rights, in the
meaning of Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Companies Act, which entitle to the
Company's new shares or the Company's own shares held by the Company against
consideration.

The amount of shares to be issued shall not exceed 646,200 shares, which
corresponds to approximately 3.0 per cent of the Company's total amount of
shares.

Shares potentially issued by virtue of the special rights entitling to
shares are included in the aforesaid maximum number of shares.

The authorisation entitles the Board to decide on a directed share issue and
issue of special rights in deviation from the pre-emptive rights of
shareholders subject to the conditions mentioned in the Companies Act. The
Board can use the authorisation in one or several tranches to all purposes
decided by the Board of Directors.

The authorisation is proposed to be in force until the next Annual General
Meeting, however, no longer than until 30 June 2018.
