Shareowners with nominee-registered shares

Shareowners with nominee-registered shares have the right to participate in the Annual General Meeting on the basis of the shares held on the record date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. 22 May 2025, that would give them the right to be included in the Company's shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy. Attendance also requires that the shareholder is temporarily entered in the Company’s shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy by 10:00 am EEST on Friday 30 May 2025 at the latest. For shareholders with nominee-registered shares, this is considered registration for the Annual General Meeting. Any changes in the ownership of shares that occur after the record date of the General Meeting do not affect the right to participate in the General Meeting or the number of votes a shareholder may cast.

Shareholders with nominee-registered shares are encouraged to request without delay the necessary instructions concerning temporary registration with the Company’s shareholder register, issuing proxy documents, and registration for the Annual General Meeting from their custodian bank. The account management organization of the custodian bank must register a shareholder with nominee-registered holdings, who wants to participate in the Annual General Meeting, temporarily into the Company’s Shareholder Register at the latest by the time stated above.
