6. Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the
company's own class B shares

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the AGM authorised
the Board of Directors to decide on repurchasing of the company's own class B
shares. The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the
repurchase of no more than fifteen million (15,000,000) of the company's own
class B shares, which currently represents approximately 9.92 per cent of all
shares in the company. The authorisation may only be used in such a way that in
total no more than one tenth (1/10) of all shares in the company may from time
to time be in the possession of the company and its subsidiaries.

Shares may be repurchased in accordance with the resolution of the Board of
Directors also in a proportion other than in which shares are owned by the
shareholders, using funds belonging to the company's unrestricted equity and at
the market price of class B shares on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd or otherwise
established on the market at the time of the repurchase. The Board of Directors
decides how shares will be repurchased. Among other means, derivatives may be
used in acquiring the shares. The acquisition of shares reduces the company's
distributable unrestricted equity. Shares may be repurchased to develop the
company's capital structure, to execute corporate transactions or other business
arrangements, to finance investments, to be used as a part of the company's
incentive schemes or to be otherwise relinquished, held by the company or
cancelled.

According to the authorisation, the Board of Directors decides on all other
matters related to the repurchase of class B shares. The authorisation to
repurchase own shares is in force for a period of not more than eighteen (18)
months from the decision of the AGM. This authorisation revokes the
authorisation given to the Board of Directors by the AGM on 6 April 2011 in
respect of repurchase of the company's own class B shares.

7. Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of class
B shares against payment

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the AGM authorised
the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue against payment in one or more
issues. The authorisation comprises the right to issue new class B shares or
assign class B treasury shares held by the company. The authorisation covers a
combined maximum of fifteen million (15,000,000) class B shares of the company,
representing currently approximately 9.92 per cent of all shares in the company.

The authorisation given to the Board of Directors includes the right to derogate
from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right provided that there is, in
respect of the company, a weighty financial reason for the derogation. Subject
to the above restrictions, the authorisation may be used i.a. as payment of
consideration when financing and executing corporate acquisitions or other
business arrangements and investments, to expand the company's ownership base,
to develop the capital structure, to secure the commitment of employees or in
incentive schemes. Pursuant to the authorisation, class B shares held by the
Company as treasury shares may also be sold in public trading organised by
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The authorisation includes the right for the Board to
decide on the terms of the share issue in the manners provided for in the
Companies Act including the right to decide whether the subscription price is
credited in part or in full to the invested unrestricted equity reserves or to
the share capital. The authorisation is in effect for a period of eighteen (18)
months from the decision of the AGM.

The authorisation revokes all previous share issue authorisations given to the
Board of Directors, except for the authorisation given to the Board of Directors
by the Annual General Meeting held on 7 April 2010, pursuant to which the Board
of Directors may decide upon directed share issues against or without payment
concerning no more than 1,200,000 class B shares in order to execute the share-
based incentive plan for the Oriola-KD Group's key personnel for the years
2010-2012.
