6. Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of class B shares against payment

In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the AGM authorized the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue against payment in one or more issues. The authorisation comprises the right to issue new class B shares or assign class B treasury shares held by the company. The authorisation covers a combined maximum of 18,000,000 class B shares of the company, representing approximately 9.92 per cent of all shares.

The authorisation given to the Board of Directors includes the right to derogate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right provided that there is, in respect of the company, a weighty financial reason for the derogation. Subject to the above restrictions, the authorisation may be used as payment of consideration when financing and executing corporate acquisitions or other business arrangements and investments. Pursuant to the authorisation, shares held by the company as treasury shares may also be sold through trading on regulated market organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The authorisation includes the right for the Board to decide on the terms of the share issue in the manners provided for in the Companies Act including the right to decide whether the subscription price is credited in part or in full to the invested unrestricted equity reserves or to the share capital.

The authorisation is in effect for a period of eighteen (18) months from the decision of the AGM. The authorisation revokes all previous share issue authorisations given to the Board of Directors except for  such given earlier during the Annual general Meeting and the authorisation given to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting held on 20 March 2013, pursuant to which the Board of Directors may decide upon directed share issues against or without payment concerning no more than 1,715,000 class B shares in order to execute the share-based incentive plan for the Oriola-KD Group's executives and the share savings plan for the Oriola-KD Group's key personnel.
