Deloitte & Touché Oy has notified that Hannu Mattila, APA, will act as the responsible auditor.

15. Authorising the Board of Directors to make a decision on the purchase of the Company’s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board to decide on using the Company’s unrestricted equity to purchase no more than 800,000 of the Company’s own shares in one or several tranches, taking into account the stipulations of the Limited Liability Companies Act regarding the maximum number of shares in possession of the Company and under the following terms:

The Company’s shares shall be acquired with the funds from the Company’s unrestricted equity, in which case the acquisitions decrease the distributable profits of the Company. The shares shall be purchased in trading on the regulated market in Helsinki Stock Exchange, and therefore the purchase takes place by private placing and not in relation to the shares owned by the shareholders. The sum paid for the shares is the price announced on the acquisition day for Restamax Plc’s shares on the regulated market on the stock list of Helsinki Stock Exchange. The shares are purchased in trading organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy in accordance with its rules and regulations. The shares can be purchased for financing or carrying out possible corporate acquisitions or other arrangements, to implement incentive systems within the Company, or for other purposes decided by the Board. The maximum amount of the shares to be acquired is equivalent to approximately 4.9% of all the shares and votes of the Company calculated based on the number of shares on the date of publishing the notice of the Annual General Meeting, so the purchase of the shares does not have a significant influence on the share ownership and the distribution of voting rights in the Company.

The Board of Directors shall decide on other matters related to the purchase of the Company’s own shares.

The authorisation is proposed to expire at the end of the 2016 Annual General Meeting, however no later than 18 months of the Annual General Meeting’s authorisation decision.

16. Closing of the Annual General Meeting
