Overview
The board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") has decided on
the offering of shares in the Company ("Shares") pursuant to the authorisation
granted by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in the Company on
8 March 2013. Pursuant to the decision of the Board of Directors on 8 March
2013, the Company intends to raise approximately EUR 261 million in gross
proceeds by way of a rights offering to existing shareholders. A maximum of
1,633,857,840 new Shares (the "Offer Shares") or CREST depository interests
("CDIs") representing the Offer Shares ("New CDIs") are offered for subscription
on the terms and conditions set out below.
Shareholders who are registered in the Company's shareholders' register
maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd ("Euroclear Finland") on 13 March 2013 (the
"Record Date") will receive one (1) subscription right ("Subscription Right")
for each existing Share ("Existing Share") held on the Record Date. The
Company's CREST depository interest ("CDI") holders ("CDI Shareholders") who are
registered in the Company's CDI register maintained by CREST on the Record Date
will receive one (1) Subscription Right for each CDI held on the Record Date
("Existing CDI").
Each Subscription Right will entitle the holder to subscribe for six (6) Offer
Shares or New CDIs at the subscription price of EUR 0.16 per Offer Share or New
CDI (the "Subscription Price"). The Subscription Price represents, in effect:
· an 84.5 per cent discount to the closing price of an Existing Share; and
· a 43.7 per cent discount to the theoretical ex-rights price of an Existing
Share,
in each case based on the closing price of EUR 1.031 on the Helsinki Stock

allotted and a Subscription Right cannot be exercised partially.
Shares will trade ex-rights from 11 March 2013. Trading of the Subscription

Offer Shares (the "Share Subscription Period") will commence on 18 March 2013
and expire at 8:00 p.m. (Finnish time) on 5 April 2013. The subscription period
for the New CDIs (the "CDI Subscription Period") will commence on 18 March 2013
and expire at 2:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 April 2013.
Assuming that the Offering is fully subscribed for, the Offer Shares would
represent 600.0 per cent of the Existing Shares and related voting rights prior

per cent of all Shares and related voting rights.
Existing shareholders of the Company and other investors can subscribe for Offer
Shares without Subscription Rights (the "Secondary Subscription"). Offer Shares
will be allocated to subscribers in the Secondary Subscription in the event that
not all of the Offer Shares have been subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of
Subscription Rights.
The Company will publish the preliminary results of the Offering in a stock
exchange release on or about 10 April 2013. The final results of the Offering
will be published in a stock exchange release on or about 12 April 2013.
The terms and conditions of the Offering together with instructions to

Incomplete or erroneous subscription assignments may be rejected. A subscription
assignment may be rejected if the subscription payment is not made according to
these terms and conditions or if such payment is incomplete. In these
situations, the subscription payment will be refunded to the subscriber. No
interest will be paid on the refunded amount.
A subscription will be deemed effected only after the arrival of the

operator or custodian and of the payment of the Subscription Price in full.
Any unexercised Subscription Rights will expire without any compensation at the
end of the Share Subscription Period at 8:00 p.m. (Finnish time) on 5 April

Subscription and Allotment of Unsubscribed Offer Shares without Subscription
Rights
The Board of Directors will decide to offer the Offer Shares that have not been
subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Rights, if any, in a secondary
offering to shareholders and/or to other investors who have submitted a
subscription assignment to subscribe for the Offer Shares without Subscription
Rights and/or, if the Offer Shares are not fully subscribed for thereafter, to
Solidium in respect of the Solidium Subscription Guarantee of up to EUR 30
million and, if the Offer Shares are not fully subscribed for thereafter, to
subscribers procured by the Managers, and/or, if the Offer Shares are still not
fully subscribed for, to the Managers, in each case, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
Subscription for the Offer Shares without Subscription Rights must be effected
by a shareholder and/or other investor by submitting a subscription assignment
and simultaneously paying the Subscription Price in accordance with the
instructions provided by his/her book-entry account operator, custodian, or in
case of nominee-registered holders, in accordance with instructions provided by
the nominee. A subscription assignment can also be submitted at the places of
subscription set forth above. If a shareholder and/or other investor does not
receive instructions from his/her book-entry account operator, custodian or
nominee or if a subscription assignment cannot be returned to his/her book-entry
account operator, custodian or nominee, the subscription assignment can be made
at any of Nordea's or Danske Bank's branch offices. If several subscription
assignments are submitted in relation to a single book-entry account, the
assignments will be combined into one assignment per book-entry account. The
subscription assignment and payment must be received by the shareholder's and/or
investor's book-entry account operator, custodian or nominee or, if the
subscription assignment has been submitted to Nordea or Danske Bank, by Nordea
or Danske Bank on 5 April 2013 at the latest or on an earlier date in accordance
with instructions by the book-entry account operator, custodian or nominee. CDI
Shareholders must make the subscription and related payment on 3 April 2013 at
the latest or on an earlier date in accordance with instructions they receive.
In the event that not all of the Offer Shares have been subscribed for pursuant
to the exercise of the Subscription Rights, the Board of Directors will
determine the allocation of Offer Shares subscribed for without Subscription
Rights as follows:
* first, to those that subscribed for Offer Shares pursuant to Subscription
Rights. If the Offering is oversubscribed by such subscribers, the
allocation among such subscribers will be determined per book-entry account
in proportion to the number of Subscription Rights exercised by subscribers
for the subscription of Offer Shares and, where this is not possible, by
drawing of lots;
* second, to those that have subscribed for Offer Shares without Subscription
Rights only and, if the Offering is oversubscribed by such subscribers, the
allocation among such subscribers will be determined per book-entry account
in proportion to the number of Offer Shares for which such subscribers have
subscribed and, where this is not possible, by drawing of lots;
* third, to Solidium in respect of the Solidium Subscription Guarantee of up
to EUR 30 million in such a manner that any subscriptions of the Offer
Shares made by Solidium before the end of the Share Subscription Period on
5 April 2013 that exceed the amount of the Subscription Rights allocated to
it reduce the maximum amount of the above-mentioned Solidium Subscription
Guarantee; and
* fourth, to subscribers procured by the Managers or, failing which, to the
Managers in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the
Underwriting Agreement. The subscription period with respect to Solidium (in
respect of the Solidium Subscription Guarantee of up to EUR 30 million), the
Managers and subscribers procured by the Managers expires on 12 April 2013.
The Company will confirm the approval or rejection of subscriptions for Offer
Shares without Subscription Rights to all investors that have given such
subscription assignments for the subscription for Offer Shares without
Subscription Rights.
If the allocation of Offer Shares subscribed for without Subscription Rights
does not correspond to the amount of Offer Shares indicated in the subscription
assignment, the Subscription Price paid for non-allocated Offer Shares will be
refunded to the subscriber on or about 16 April 2013. No interest will be paid
on the refunded amount.
Cancellation of Subscriptions under Certain Circumstances
In the event that the prospectus to be prepared by the Company in connection
with the Offering (the "Prospectus") is supplemented or amended due to an error,
omission or material new information which could be of material importance to
investors, investors who have subscribed for the Offer Shares or New CDIs are
entitled to cancel their subscriptions in accordance with the Finnish Securities
Markets Act (746/2012) within a minimum of two business days from the
publication of the supplement. A cancellation of a subscription may only be made
in respect of all of the Offer Shares the shareholder has subscribed for. The
cancellation right may only be used if the investor has committed to subscribe
or subscribed for the Offer Shares prior to the publication of the supplement or
amendment to the Prospectus and provided that the error, omission or material
new information that has resulted in the supplement or amendment has come in
light prior to delivery of the security to the investor and, for the Offer
Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Rights, the time when trading
with the interim shares representing the Offer Shares (the "Interim Shares")
begins. The procedure regarding the cancellation of the subscriptions will be
announced together with any such supplement to the Prospectus in Finland through
a stock exchange release and in the United Kingdom via a regulatory information
service.
If a shareholder who is registered in the Company's shareholders' register
maintained by Euroclear Finland or an investor that has subscribed for Offer
Shares without Subscription Rights cancels his or her subscriptions, the
institution to which subscription instructions were submitted will refund the
Subscription Price paid to the bank account notified by the investor in
connection with the subscription. Subsequently, the Subscription Rights will be
re-entered into the investor's book-entry account within approximately three
business days after the cancellation notification has been submitted.
In the case of CDI Shareholders, the Subscription Rights will be re-credited to
the CDI Shareholder's CREST account in the form of CDIs approximately three
business days after the cancellation notification has been submitted. The funds
will be refunded without interest.
If a shareholder has sold or otherwise transferred its Subscription Rights, such
sale or transfer cannot be cancelled.

at any time during the trading of the Subscription Rights. Trading of the
Subscription Rights on the Helsinki Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange

expiration of the Share Subscription Period). The Interim Shares will be
combined with the Existing Shares (with ISIN code FI0009014716 and trading
symbol TLV1V) when the Offer Shares have been registered with the Trade
Register. Such combination is expected to occur on or about 15 April 2013. The
trading of the Offer Shares on the Helsinki Stock Exchange is expected to
commence on or about 16 April 2013.
The Offer Shares subscribed for without Subscription Rights will be recorded as
Shares on the subscriber's book-entry account on or about 15 April 2013.

securities brokers who exercise assignments regarding the Subscription Rights
may charge a brokerage fee for these assignments in accordance with their own

accordance with their price list.

Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution
The Offering will be governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes arising in
connection with the Offering will be settled by the court of competent
jurisdiction in Finland. By accepting rights under the Offering in accordance
with the instructions set out in the Prospectus, shareholders irrevocably submit
to the jurisdiction of the courts of Finland and waive any objection to
proceedings in any such court on the ground of venue or on the ground that
proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Other Issues
The Board of Directors will resolve any other issues and practical matters
relating to the issue of the Offer Shares and the Offering.
INSTRUCTIONS TO EUROCLEAR FINLAND REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
Right to Subscribe for the Offer Shares in the Offering
The Record date of the Offering is 13 March 2013. The Company will grant
Subscription Rights to all shareholders whose Existing Shares were acquired on
8 March 2013 at the latest.
If an Existing Share entitling the holder thereof to a Subscription Right is
pledged or subject to any other restrictions, the Subscription Right may not
necessarily be exercised without the consent of the pledgee or the holder of any
other right.
Transferability of Subscription Rights
The Subscription Rights are granted in the form of electronic book-entries, they
are freely transferable and are expected to be traded on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange from 18 March 2013 to 27 March 2013. The price of the Subscription
Rights will be determined on the basis of the prevailing market situation. A
holder of Subscription Rights can sell the Subscription Rights by giving a sales
assignment to its own account operator or to any securities broker. The trading
symbol of the Subscription Rights is TLV1VU0113.
Time Limits Set for Investors
Holders of Subscription Rights should pay particular attention to giving the
applicable time limit for giving instructions concerning the Offering to the
depository or a book-entry account operator.
Certain book-entry account operators may seek to sell unexercised Subscription
Rights on behalf of their customers on the Helsinki Stock Exchange pursuant to
their asset management agreements. Thus, they may instruct their customers to
give their subscription instructions on a date earlier than the expiration of
trading of the Subscription Rights. Holders of Subscription Rights should pay
particular attention to time limits when purchasing the Subscription Rights in
the secondary market close to the expiration of the Share Subscription Period.
In accordance with the normal clearing rules of Helsinki Stock Exchange, the
Subscription Rights are entered into the holder's book-entry account three
business days after the date of purchase and the holder can only exercise the
Subscription Rights to subscribe for the Offer Shares after such purchase has
been entered into the book-entry account of the holder. All Subscription Rights
that are not used by the expiration of the Share Subscription Period will expire
without compensation.
Publication and the Results of the Offering and Confirmation of the
Subscriptions
The Company will publish the final results of the Offering in a stock exchange
release on or about 12 April 2013.
The Company will not send any confirmation letters or letters of acceptance
confirming any subscriptions made pursuant to the Subscription Rights.
Trading of Offer Shares
Prior to issuing the Offer Shares, the Company will distribute Interim Shares to
each subscriber, and such Interim Shares will be entered into each subscriber's
book-entry account and represent the Offer Shares subscribed for in the
Offering. The Interim Shares will be tradable on the Helsinki Stock Exchange
with the trading symbol TLV1VN0113 as of 8 April 2013, the first stock exchange
trading day after the expiration of the Share Subscription Period.
On or about 15 April 2013, the Interim Shares will be combined in the book-entry
system with the Existing Shares immediately after the Offer Shares have been
registered with the Trade Register. The Offer Shares will become subject to
trading together with the Existing Shares on or about 16 April 2013. The Offer
Shares are freely transferable.
Commissions
No separate costs or commissions are payable to the Company by an investor for
subscribing for Offer Shares. Account operators and brokers will, however,
charge a fee for the trading of the Subscription Rights, as well as commissions
for the maintenance of the book-entry account and any transactions pursuant to
their price lists.
Shareholders Resident in Certain Jurisdictions
The Offering consists of a public offering in Finland and the United Kingdom
only. Shareholders who are resident in, or who are citizens of, or who have a
registered address in countries other than Finland or the United Kingdom may be
affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Those persons should consult
their professional advisers as to whether they require any governmental or other
consent or need to observe any other formalities to enable them to exercise
their Subscription Rights. For further information, see "Selling and Transfer
Restrictions" in the Prospectus.
Additional Information
For further information on the rights relating to the Shares, see "Description
of the Shares and Share Capital-Shareholder Rights" in the Prospectus.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CDI SHAREHOLDERS
Right to Subscribe for the Offer Shares in the Offering
CDI Shareholders who are registered in the Company's CDI register maintained by
CREST on the Record Date will receive one (1) Subscription Right for each
Existing CDI held on the Record Date. Six Security Services holds certain
Existing Shares on behalf of the CREST Depository and, accordingly, will receive
Subscription Rights. Six Security Services will pass on the Subscription Rights
in the form of representative instruments to the CREST Depository which will in
turn issue Subscription Rights in the form of CDIs to CDI Shareholders in
accordance with the terms of the deed poll.
If an Existing CDI entitling the holder thereof to a Subscription Right is
pledged or subject to any other restrictions, the Subscription Right may not
necessarily be exercised without the consent of the pledgee or the holder of any
other right.
Procedure for Acceptance and Payment
CDI Shareholders who wish to exercise all or part of their entitlements in
respect of, or otherwise to transfer all or part of, their Subscription Rights
held by them in CREST should refer to the CREST Manual as published by Euroclear
UK and Ireland Limited ("Euroclear UK") from time to time (the "CREST Manual")
for further information on the CREST procedures referred to below. CDI
Shareholders who are CREST sponsored members should consult their CREST sponsor
if they wish to exercise their entitlement as only the CREST sponsor will be
able to take the necessary action to exercise such holder's entitlement or
otherwise to deal with such holder's Subscription Rights.
Euroclear UK will separately contact CDI Shareholders with respect to
arrangements to subscribe for New CDIs in excess of the number of New CDIs
represented by their Subscription Rights. Any such subscription will require a
cash only USE Instruction.
The Subscription Rights constitute a separate security for the purposes of CREST
and can accordingly be transferred, in whole or in part, by means of CREST in
the same manner as any other security that is admitted to CREST.
If you have any questions on the procedure for acceptance and payment in respect
of Subscription Rights held in the form of CDIs in CREST, you should contact
Euroclear UK on 0845 9645 648 (if calling from the UK) or +44 20 7849 0199 (if
calling from outside the UK) during normal office hours. Please note that the
CREST Depository cannot provide financial advice on the merits of the Offering
or as to whether you should exercise your Subscription Rights.
Any unexercised Subscription Rights will expire without any compensation at the
end of the CDI Subscription Period at 2:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 April 2013.
USE Instructions
CDI Shareholders who wish to exercise all or part of their entitlement in
respect of Subscription Rights in CREST must send (or, if they are CREST
sponsored members, procure that their CREST sponsor sends) a USE Instruction
(and not, for the avoidance of confusion, an MTM instruction with which they may
be more familiar) to Euroclear UK which, on its settlement, will have the
following effect:
* the crediting of stock to the account of the CREST Depository under the
participant ID and member account ID with the number of Subscription Rights
to be taken up; and
* the creation of a settlement bank payment obligation (as defined in the
CREST Manual), in accordance with the RTGS payment mechanism (as defined in
the CREST Manual), in favour of the RTGS settlement bank of the CREST
Depository in respect of the full amount payable on the exercise of the
Subscription Rights referred to above.
If for any reason it is impracticable to credit the CREST accounts of CDI
Shareholders or to enable the Subscription Rights, letters of entitlement shall,
unless the Company (in consultation with the Joint Global Coordinators) agrees
otherwise, be sent by the CREST Depository in substitution for the Subscription
Rights that have not been so credited or enabled and the expected timetable as
set out in this prospectus may, with the consent of the Joint Global
Coordinators, be adjusted as appropriate. References to dates and times in this
prospectus should be read as subject to any such adjustment. The Company, in
consultation with the Joint Global Coordinators, will make an appropriate stock
exchange announcement giving details of the revised dates, but CDI Shareholders
may not receive any further written communication.
Contents of USE Instructions
The USE Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear
UK's specifications and must contain, in addition to the other information that
is required for settlement in CREST, the following details:
* the number of Subscription Rights in the correct multiples to which the
acceptance relates;
* the participant ID of the accepting CDI Shareholder;
* the member account ID of the accepting CDI Shareholder from which the
Subscription Rights are to be debited;
* the participant ID of the CREST Depository, which is RECCH;
* the member account ID of the CREST Depository, which is TALCPP01;
* the amount payable by means of the CREST assured payment arrangements on
settlement of the USE Instruction. This must be the full amount payable on
exercise of the number of Subscription Rights to which the acceptance
relates;
* the intended settlement date (which must be on or before 2:00 p.m. (London
time) on 3 April 2013);
* the ISIN code of the Subscription Rights, which is FI4000060959;
* the Corporate Action Number for the Offering. This will be available by
viewing the relevant corporate action details in CREST;
* a contact name and telephone number (in the free format shared note field);
and
* a priority of at least 80.
Valid Acceptance
A USE Instruction complying with each of the requirements as to authentication
and contents set out in this paragraph will constitute a valid acceptance where
either:
(a) the USE Instruction settles by not later than 2:00 p.m. (London
time) on 3 April 2013; or
(b) at the discretion of the Company (in consultation with the
Managers and as exercised by the CREST Depository):
(i) the USE Instruction is received by Euroclear UK by not later than
2:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 April 2013;
(ii) the number of Subscription Rights inserted in the USE Instruction
is credited to the CREST Depository account of the accepting CDI Shareholder
specified in the USE Instruction at 2:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 April 2013; and
(iii) the relevant USE Instruction settles by 2:00 p.m. (London time)
on 3 April 2013 (or such later date as the Company, in consultation with the
Managers, has determined).
A USE Instruction will be treated as having been received by Euroclear UK for
these purposes at the time at which the instruction is processed by the Network
Provider's Communications Host (as defined in the CREST Manual) at Euroclear UK
of the network provider used by the CDI Shareholder (or by his CREST sponsor as
the case may be). This will be conclusively determined by the input time stamp
applied to the USE Instruction by the Network Provider's Communications Host.
The CREST Depository will pass reconciled USE Instructions to the Central
Securities Depository on an on-going basis on and up to 2:00 p.m. (London time)
on 3 April 2013.
CREST Procedures and Timings
CDI Shareholders should note that Euroclear UK does not make available special
procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings
and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of a USE
Instruction and its settlement in connection with the Offering. It is the
responsibility of the CDI Shareholder concerned to take (or, if the CDI
Shareholder is a CREST sponsored member, to procure that his CREST sponsor
takes) the action necessary to ensure that a valid acceptance is received as
stated above by 2:00 p.m. (London time) on 3 April 2013.
CDI Shareholders (and where applicable CREST sponsors) are referred in
particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical
limitations of the CREST system and timings.
CDI Shareholder's Undertaking to Pay
A CDI Shareholder who makes a valid acceptance in accordance with the procedures
set out under "-Procedure for Acceptance and Payment" above:
(a) undertakes to pay to the CREST Depository, or procure the payment
to the CREST Depository of, the amount payable in euro on acceptance in
accordance with the above procedures or in such other manner as the Company may
require (it being acknowledged that, where payment is made by means of the RTGS
payment mechanism (as defined in the CREST Manual) the creation of an RTGS
settlement bank payment obligation in euro in favour of the CREST Depository's
RTGS settlement bank (as defined in the CREST Manual), in accordance with the
RTGS payment mechanism shall, to the extent of the obligation so created,
discharge in full the obligation of the CREST member (or CREST sponsored member)
to pay to the CREST Depository the amount payable on acceptance); and
(b) requests that the New CDIs to which they will become entitled be
issued to them on the terms set out in the CREST International Service manual.
Money Laundering Regulations
If you hold your Subscription Rights in CREST and apply to exercise all or part
of your entitlement as agent for one or more persons and you are not a United
Kingdom- or EU-regulated person or institution (e.g., a UK financial
institution), then, irrespective of the value of the application, the CREST
Depository is required to take reasonable measures to establish the identity of
the person or persons on whose behalf you are making the application. You must,
therefore, contact the CREST Depository before sending any USE Instruction or
other instruction so that appropriate measures may be taken.
Submission of a USE Instruction that constitutes, or that may on its settlement
constitute, a valid acceptance as described above constitutes a warranty and
undertaking by the applicant to provide promptly to the CREST Depository any
information the CREST Depository may specify as being required for the purposes
of the Money Laundering Regulations or UK Financial Services Markets Act 2000.
Pending the provision of evidence satisfactory to the CREST Depository as to
identity, the CREST Depository, having consulted with the Company and the Joint
Global Coordinators, may take, or omit to take, such action as it may determine
to prevent or delay settlement of the USE Instruction. If satisfactory evidence
of identity has not been provided within a reasonable time, then the CREST
Depository will not permit the USE Instruction concerned to proceed to
settlement but without prejudice to the right of the Company and/or the Joint
Global Coordinators to take proceedings to recover any loss suffered by it/them
as a result of failure by the applicant to provide satisfactory evidence.
Transferability of Subscription Rights

be determined on the basis of the prevailing market situation. A holder of
Subscription Rights in the form of CDIs may sell such Subscription Rights by 27
