Proposal of the Board of Directors to decide on free share issue (split)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to give a free share issue (split) in proportion to the shares held by the shareholders. Three new shares shall be issued for each existing share. Based on the number of shares on the date of this notice, a total of 137,341,119 new shares will be issued. The free share issue shall be executed in the book-entry system and requires no actions from the shareholders. The new shares shall be registered approximately on Tuesday, April 2, 2013, and shall generate shareholder rights as of the said date. No dividend decided upon by the Annual General Meeting shall be paid to the new shares for the year 2012.

Each shareholder, who is registered on the record date on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 in the shareholders' register of the company, will be entitled to receive shares on the basis of the free share issue.
