The Nomination Board proposes that Teemu Kangas-Kärki, Laura Lares, Sakari Lassila, Jukka Leinonen and Pasi Tolppanen are re-elected to the Board of Directors from among its current members and Anni Ronkainen is elected as a new member. In addition, the Nomination Board proposes that Jukka Leinonen is elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Sakari Lassila as Vice Chairman.

Of the current members, Laura Tarkka has announced that she is no longer available for the election of the members of the Board of Directors.

All candidates have given their consent to the election and are independent of the company and its significant shareholders.
