The right to participate in the General Meeting requires, in addition, that the shareholder has on the basis of such shares been registered into the temporary shareholders’ register of the company held by Euroclear Finland Oy at the latest on 5 May by 10:00 a.m. (Finnish time). As regards nominee-registered shares this constitutes due registration for the General Meeting.

If a holder of nominee-registered shares has authorized their custodian to cast advance votes on their behalf, such advance votes will be taken into account as advance votes of the nominee-registered shareholder at the General Meeting, unless the holder of nominee-registered shares votes otherwise during the General Meeting.
A shareholder may participate in the General Meeting and exercise his/her/its rights at the meeting by way of proxy representation. A proxy representative shall produce a dated proxy document or otherwise provide reliable evidence of the right to represent the shareholder. The authorization applies to one meeting only unless otherwise stated. If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting by means of several proxy representatives representing the shareholder with shares at different securities accounts, the shares by which each proxy representative represents the shareholder shall be identified in connection with the registration for the General Meeting.

A shareholder who has the right to participate in the General Meeting can participate in the meeting and use their rights in full and in real-time during the meeting via remote connection.
The shareholder's or proxy's notification of participation in the General Meeting via remote connection is binding, and the shareholder or proxy does not have the right to change the method of participation or participate in the meeting at the meeting place after the registration period has expired. However, the shareholder's representative's notification of participation via remote connection does not limit the right of shareholder's other representatives to participate in the meeting at the meeting place.
A shareholder or proxy who has registered to participate in the General Meeting at the meeting venue can change their participation to remote participation. This must be informed to the company separately. Remote participation takes place via the remote participation link sent to the phone number and email address provided when registering for the General Meeting.
