issues. The authorisation comprises the right to issue new shares or assign
treasury shares held by the company. The authorisation covers a maximum of
9,500,000 Class A shares and 21,000,000 Class B shares representing
approximately 20.2 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. to develop
the capital structure. Pursuant to the authorisation, shares held by the company
as treasury shares may also be sold through trading on regulated market
organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The authorisation includes the right for
the Board of Directors 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 authorization is in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months from the
decision of the Annual General Meeting. 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 20 March 2013, pursuant to which the Board of Directors may decide upon
directed share issues against or without payment concerning no more than
1,715,000 class B shares in order to execute the share-based incentive plan for
the Oriola-KD Group's executives and the share savings plan for the Oriola-KD
Group's key personnel.

6. 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 authorized
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 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 as payment of
consideration when financing and executing corporate acquisitions or other
business arrangements and investments. Pursuant to the authorisation, class B
shares held by the Company as treasury shares may also be sold on regulated
market 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  such given earlier
during the Annual general Meeting and the authorisation given to the Board of
Directors by the Annual General Meeting held on 20 March 2013, pursuant to which
the Board of Directors may decide upon directed share issues against or without
payment concerning no more than 1,715,000 class B shares in order to execute the
share-based incentive plan for the Oriola-KD Group's executives and the share
savings plan for the Oriola-KD Group's key personnel.

7. 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 authorized
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 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 quoted on regulated market organized by
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 20 March 2013 in
respect of repurchase of the company's own class B shares.

8. The Shareholders' proposal to the Annual General Meeting on combining of the
share classes and thereto related targeted share issue without payment as well
as amendment of the Articles of Association was rejected.
