Authorization of the Board of Directors to decide on issuing shares

The Annual General Meeting resolved to reject the proposal of the Board of Directors to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on issuing shares.

Authorization of the Board of Directors to decide on issuing option rights

The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on issues of option rights pursuant to Chapter 10 of the Companies Act as follows:

A maximum of 300,000 share options and shares may be issued under the authorization, provided however that the number of share options so issued may not together with any option rights granted on the basis of the authorizations from previous General Meetings exceed 1,290,000 option rights in total. Option rights and other special rights entitling to shares may be issued in one or more tranches.

The maximum amount of share options issued on the basis of this authorization and any other authorization granted by previous General Meetings may not exceed 10 per cent. of all the shares issued by the Company from time to time.

Objective

The objective of the authorization is to ensure that the employee option incentive program of the Company is aligned with international industry practices and thereby enables the Board to commit the existing and potential new key personnel into long-term value creation of the Company.

Eligibility

New employees are eligible for option grants upon joining the Company. Employees will be eligible for an annual option award on a discretionary basis, taking into account overall performance, competitiveness of terms, work responsibility, importance of retention, organization level, and position. The Board of Directors will exercise discretion as to who will receive an equity award in any given year, based on recommendations made by the Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors intends to grant awards under the plan on an annual basis. Board members are not eligible to participate.

Grant size and exercise price

The Remuneration Committee shall recommend to the Board the size of the overall option grant. The grant schedule will be determined, and reviewed, on the basis of market competitiveness of the equity component of the compensation package and the overall size of the available option and share pool approved by shareholders. The exercise price will correspond to 126 per cent. of the volume weighted average share price of the Company's share during 10 trading days preceding the grant date. However, in no event shall the exercise price be lower than the subscription price of the Company's share in the Company's latest share issue against consideration (excluding share subscriptions based on option rights) preceding the option grant date.

Employee vesting schedule

Granted share options shall vest and become exercisable over a three-year period, with 1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant date, with an annual vesting of 1/3 during the second year after the grant date, and with an annual vesting of 1/3 during the third year after the grant date. The options expire five years after the grant date. In the case of termination of employment, the employee will not vest further share options beyond notice of termination. Unless special circumstances dictate otherwise, the terminated employee can, as a general rule, exercise vested options no later than the expiry of the first exercise period following the notice of termination (unless a later date has been resolved by the Board). Options not exercised prior to the above deadline will lapse.

The Board of Directors is authorized to resolve on all terms for the issuance of special rights entitling to shares. The granting of special rights entitling to shares may be directed i.e. deviate from the pre-emptive subscription right of shareholders, provided that there is a weighty financial reason.

The proposed authorization does not invalidate any earlier authorizations entitling the Board of Directors to decide on issues of special rights entitling to shares.

The authorization is valid until the close of next annual general meeting, however no longer than until 30 June 2024.

Decisions of the constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors

In its constitutive meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Timo Veromaa as Chairman of the Board.

The Board of Directors also resolved on the composition of the Board Committees in its constitutive meeting.

Aki Prihti was elected as the Chairman, and Mats Thorén and Hilde Furberg were elected as members of the Audit Committee.
