Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

The Annual General Meeting is held annually before the end of June, either in Raseborg or Helsinki. The Annual General Meeting decides on matters stipulated in the Companies Act and the Articles of Association, such as the approval of the financial statements, the distribution of profits, discharging the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability, as well as the election of the members of the Board of Directors and the Company's Auditors and remuneration for said Board members and Auditors.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, notices regarding the Shareholders' Meetings are published on the Company's website and, if deemed necessary by the Board of Directors, in an alternative manner. In 2011, notices were published in following newspapers: Helsingin Sanomat, Kauppalehti, Hufvudstadsbladet and Västra Nyland, in addition to the notice published on the Company's website.

Any shareholder wishing to submit a matter for inclusion on the agenda of the Annual General Meeting should submit a request in writing to the Board of Directors. To be included in the notice of the Annual General Meeting and in the agenda of the Annual General Meeting, the request should be sufficiently concise and the matter must fall within the authority of the Annual General Meeting, as defined in the Limited Liability Companies Act. Instructions on and the deadline for submitting requests to the Board of Directors are published on the Company's website. In 2011, no such requests were submitted to the Board of Directors.
