Shareholder's Nomination Board

The Annual General Meeting held at 17 May, 2022 decided to establish a Shareholders' Nomination Board to prepare proposals for the election and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the remuneration of the members of the Board Committees for the next Annual General Meetings and for any Extraordinary General Meetings. In addition, the General Meeting approved the charter of the Shareholders' Nomination Board.

According to the decision of the General Meeting, the Shareholders' Nomination Board will be composed of representatives appointed by the three largest shareholders of the Company. The Chairman of the Board of Directors acts as a person with expertise in the Shareholders' Nomination Board. The Chairman of the Board of Directors does not participate in the decision-making of the Shareholders' Nomination Board.

The three shareholders with the largest number of votes for all shares of the Company on the 1st business day of October of the calendar year preceding the Annual General Meeting have the right to nominate the members representing the shareholders. The nomination right is determined in accordance with the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. If a shareholder presents a written request to the Chairman of the Board of Directors by last business day of September of the year preceding the Annual General Meeting, into the holdings of the shareholder shall be calculated also holdings of a person equivalent to the shareholder that need to be taken into account when evaluating the requirement to flag changes in the holdings under the Finnish Securities Markets Act.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall request the three largest shareholders to appoint one member each to the Shareholders' Nomination Board in accordance with the above described right of appointment. If a shareholder does not wish to exercise the right of appointment, the right is transferred to the next largest shareholder who would not otherwise have the right of appointment.

The Shareholders' Nomination Board is established until further notice until the General Meeting decides otherwise. The term of office of the members of the Shareholders' Nomination Board expires each year when a new Shareholders' Nomination Board is appointed. The members of the Shareholders' Nomination Board shall not be entitled to any remuneration on the basis of their membership in the Nomination Board. The members’ travel expenses shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s travel policy. When necessary, the Shareholders' Nomination Board may in order to carry out its duties use external experts at a cost approved by the Company
