Questions and Answers
Which ADR Holders are entitled to vote?
ADR Holders who are record holders of the Company’s ADSs on the ADS Record Date of March 10, 2008 will receive the proxy material. Those ADR Holders who are record holders of the Company’s ADSs as of the close of business on April 25, 2008 are entitled to vote at the Meeting, although their voting position will be reconciled as of the Finnish Record Date April 28, 2008.
What is the Finnish Record Date?
According to Finnish law, a shareholder must be recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company ten days prior to the Meeting, i.e. on the Finnish Record Date of April 28, 2008, in order to be entitled to vote at the Meeting. This means that although you have voted correctly before 5:00 P.M. on April 21, 2008, your voting position will be reconciled as of the Finnish Record Date.
Will I be recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date?
Yes. If you are a record holder of the Company’s ADSs as of the close of business on April 25, 2008, and you have provided your voting instructions to the Depositary as instructed in this Depositary’s Notice, you will be automatically recorded on the Register on a temporary basis.
Are there any other requirements in connection with the Finnish Record Date?
No. Being a record holder of the Company’s ADSs as of the close of business on April 25, 2008 and providing voting instructions to the Depositary by the Voting Deadline automatically ensures that the ADR Holder will be temporarily recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date of April 28, 2008.
What is the temporary recording of the Deposited Securities on the Company’s Register of Shareholders and why is it required?
As mentioned above, only shareholders registered on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date of April 28, 2008, may vote at the Meeting. As an ADR Holder, in the normal course, your Deposited Securities are registered on the Register of Shareholders of the Company in the name of Citibank’s local custodian. For you to vote at the Meeting, the Deposited Securities underlying your ADSs must be temporarily re-recorded from Citibank’s local custodian’s name to your name on the Register of Shareholders of the Company as of the Finnish Record Date. This is done temporarily for the purpose of voting at the Meeting only.
Can voting instructions be changed?
Yes, voting instructions may be changed at any time prior to the Voting Deadline of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on April 21, 2008 by completing new Voting Instructions on the Internet Voting website, by giving new Telephone Voting Instructions at 1-800-652-Vote (8683) or by calling Citibank’s ADR Services at 1 -877-NOKIA-ADR (1-877-665-4223) and requesting a new Voting Card and returning the new and completed Voting Card to the Depositary.
Please note that the last instructions received by the Depositary (whether it be a new Voting Card, Internet Voting Instructions, or Telephone Voting Instructions) by the Voting Deadline will be the Voting Instructions followed by the Depositary.
What information is required from me to vote my ADSs?
Finnish law and regulations require at the minimum the following information from a beneficial owner:
· Name;
· Address;
· Number of Deposited Securities held; and
· Identification number (i.e. account number).
3
Please note that by voting your ADSs, you are authorizing your bank, broker, or nominee to disclose the above-mentioned information to the Depositary, the Company, and the Finnish Registrar for the purpose of temporarily recording your name on the Company’s Register of Shareholders. Without disclosure of this information, your votes will not be counted.
What is item 11, which pertains to other matters at the Annual General Meeting, in the voting card?
Under Finnish law, Nokia’s Notice of Annual General Meeting must include an agenda setting out the matters to be brought before the meeting. The agenda must include those matters, which, pursuant to Nokia’s Articles of Association and mandatory Finnish law, must be resolved at the Annual General Meeting, and any other matters under the authority of a shareholders’ meeting brought to the agenda by the shareholders early enough for them to be included in the agenda. Matters not included in the agenda of the Annual General Meeting may not be resolved on at the Meeting.
The “other matters” referred to in the voting card under item 11 relate to procedural matters only, and may include such matters as the election of the chairman for the meeting and persons to scrutinize the minutes.
What does it mean, if an ADR Holder marks the box to give a discretionary proxy regarding item 11 of the Annual General Meeting?
If an ADR Holder has marked the relevant box and “other matters” are properly brought before the Meeting, the nominated representative of the Company will have a discretionary proxy to vote the Holder’s ADSs with respect to those “other matters”. The nominated representatives are Nokia’s legal counsels.
Why is it important to vote?
A resolution under some of the agenda items requires a qualified majority of the votes cast, as well as of the shares represented at the meeting. ADR Holders form a significant number of Nokia shares represented at the Meeting. Therefore, in order for the proposals to be approved, the Company encourages ADR Holders to vote under every item.
Where is the Proxy Material available?
In addition to mailing the ADR Holders this Depositary’s Notice and the Voting Card as well as the Company’s Meeting Notice, Nokia is providing the ADR Holders with the possibility to access the proxy material on the Internet. The proxy material can be accessed on the Internet through http://www.citibank.com/adr and http://www.nokia.com/agm.
Are the proposals on the Agenda available in their entirety?
Yes. The proposals by the Nokia Board and its Committees are available in their entirety on the Internet through http://www.citibank.com/adr and http://www.nokia.com/agm. Nokia’s Form 20-F Annual Report is also available on Nokia’s website.
Delivery of shareholder documents via the Internet.
We are pleased to announce that for all future mailings ADR holders may receive Nokia Corporation’s shareholder documents (such as disclosure documents, proxy material, etc.) over the internet. As a registered ADR shareholder, i.e. if you do not hold your ADSs through a custodian, broker or other agent, you may receive your shareholder documents electronically by registering at the website htpp://www.computershare.com/investor and completing the on-line consent form by clicking on Electronic Shareholder Communications under the Manage section on the site.
