The Annual General Meeting approved the

record date of the General Meeting.                    

The Meeting also
authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of new
shares and/or
conveyance of Company's own shares held by the Company. By virtue 
of the
authorization, the Board of Directors is entitled to decide on the      

issuance of a maximum of 6,800,000 new shares and on the conveyance of a
maximum
of 6,800,000 own shares held by the Company. However, the total number
of shares
to be issued and/or conveyed may not exceed 6,800,000 shares. The
new shares may
be issued and own shares held by the Company conveyed either
against payment or 
without payment.                                          
                     

The new shares may be issued and/or own shares held by
the Company conveyed to  
the Company's shareholders in a proportion to their
existing shareholdings in   
the Company, or by means of a directed share
issue, waiving the pre-emptive     
subscription right of the shareholders, if
there is a weighty reason for the    
Company to do so, such as the shares to
be used to improve the capital structure
of the Company or as consideration in
future acquisitions or other arrangements 
that are part of Company's business
or as part of Company's or its subsidiaries'
incentive programs.              
                                              
The directed share issue can be
without payment only, if there is an especially 
weighty reason for the
Company to do so, taking the interest of all shareholders
into account.       
                                                           

The Board of
Directors may decide on the share issue without payment also to the
Company
itself. Decision regarding share issue to the Company itself cannot be  
made
in such manner that the quantity of shares held jointly by the Company or 

its subsidiaries would exceed one tenth of all shares of the Company.        
  

The subscription price of new shares issued and the consideration paid
for the  
conveyance of the Company's own shares shall be credited to the
reserve for     
invested unrestricted equity.                                
                  

The Board of Directors shall decide on other matters
related to the share issue.
The share issue authorization is valid until the
end of the Annual General      
Meeting to be held in 2012.
