Metso´s Nomination Board´s proposal for the composition and remuneration of the Board of Directors - Seite 2

Nomination Board proposes that as a condition for the annual remuneration the
members of the Board of Directors are obliged, directly based on the General
Meeting´s decision, to use 40% of the fixed annual remuneration for purchasing
Metso Corporation shares from the market at a price formed in public trading and
that the purchase will be carried out within two weeks from the publication of
the interim review for the period January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013.

Metso´s Board of Directors will include these proposals into the notice of the
Annual General Meeting, which will be published later.

Personnel participation

The Nomination Board notes that a personnel representative will participate as
an external expert in the Metso Board meetings also in the next Board term
within the limitations imposed by the Finnish law. The new Board of Directors
will invite the personnel representative as its external expert in its
organizing meeting after the Annual General Meeting.
