10 Presentation and adoption of the Remuneration Report
The Board of Directors presents the Remuneration Report for the company's governing bodies for the financial year 2023 and proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts the report through an advisory decision. The published Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policy are available at www.tietoevry.com/agm.
11 Handling of the new Remuneration Policy
The Board of Directors presents a new Remuneration Policy for the company's governing bodies and proposes that the Annual General Meeting would support it through an advisory decision. The new Remuneration Policy has been drafted for a four-year period, and it is intended to remain in effect until the Annual General Meeting in 2028. The Remuneration Policy is available at www.tietoevry.com/agm.
12 Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the annual fees payable to the members of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting be as follows:
In addition to these fees, it is proposed that the Chairperson of a permanent Board Committee be paid an annual fee of EUR 20 000, and a member of a permanent Board Committee be paid an annual fee of EUR 10 000. It is also proposed that the members elected by the Annual General Meeting will be paid EUR 800 for each Board meeting and for each permanent or temporary committee meeting. Further, it is proposed that the employee representatives elected as ordinary members of the Board of Directors be paid an annual fee of EUR 15 300 (2023: EUR 15 000, increase of 2.0%) and the employee representatives elected as deputy members of the Board of Directors be paid an annual fee of EUR 7 650 (2023: EUR 7 500, increase of 2.0%).
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board is of the opinion that increasing the long-term shareholding of the Board members will benefit all the shareholders. Every member of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting is expected to over a five-year period accumulate a shareholding in the company that exceeds his/her one-time annual remuneration.
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board therefore proposes that part of the annual remuneration may be paid in the company’s shares purchased from the market. A member of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting may, at his/her discretion, choose from the following five alternatives:
The shares will be acquired directly on behalf of the members of the Board within two weeks from the release of the company’s interim report 1 January–31 March 2024. If the remuneration cannot be delivered at that time due to insider regulation or other justified reason, the company shall deliver the shares later or pay the remuneration fully in cash. The remuneration of the employee representatives elected as members in the Board of Directors will be paid in cash.
13 Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the company’s Board of Directors shall have nine members elected by the Annual General Meeting.
14 Election of members of the Board of Directors and the Chairperson
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the current members of the Board of Directors Bertil Carlsén, Elisabetta Castiglioni, Tomas Franzén, Liselotte Hägertz Engstam, Harri-Pekka Kaukonen, Katharina Mosheim, Gustav Moss, Endre Rangnes and Petter Söderström be re-elected. The term of office of the members of the Board of Directors ends at the close of the next Annual General Meeting. All the proposed candidates have given their consent to being elected.
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that Tomas Franzén shall be re-elected as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
The members of the Board of Directors proposed to be re-elected are independent of the company and its major shareholders excluding Petter Söderström, who is independent of the company but not of one of its major shareholders, Solidium Oy. The biographical details of the candidates and information on their holdings are available on the company’s website.
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board has considered the composition of the Board of Directors as to its overall structure as well as the individual members' versatile and mutually complementary professional expertise and experience. The Shareholders’ Nomination Board therefore proposes that the Board of Directors is elected as a whole.
In addition to the above candidates, the company’s personnel has elected two members to the Board of Directors. Employees have elected the following persons for the term of office that ends at the close of the next Annual General Meeting: Anders Palklint and Thomas Slettemoen with deputies Ilpo Waljus and Tommy Sander Aldrin.
15 Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the recommendation of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, that the auditor to be elected at the Annual General Meeting be reimbursed according to the auditor's invoice and in compliance with the purchase principles approved by the Committee.

Deloitte Oy has announced that APA, Authorized Sustainability Auditor (ASA) Jukka Vattulainen would act as the Authorised Sustainability Auditor.
19 Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of Directors be authorized to decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares as follows:
The authorization cancels previous unused authorizations to decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares. The authorization is effective until the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than until 29 April 2025.
20 Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares

The authorization cancels previous unused authorizations to decide on the issuance of shares as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares. The authorization is effective until the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than until 29 April 2025.
21 Forfeiture of the shares held in the joint account and the rights carried by the shares
The company entered its shares into the book-entry system as of 3 September 1993. In connection with entering its shares into the book-entry system, the company set up a joint book-entry account, i.e. a joint account, for the benefit of shareholders who had not registered their share ownership to the book-entry system at that time. At its Annual General Meeting on 29 March 2000, the company decided, under the Finnish Companies Act in force at the time, to sell the shares in the joint account, whereby the holders of shares that had not been converted to book-entry form at the time forfeited their rights to those shares, and such non-converted shares were sold for the benefit of their holders on 8 May 2001. The right to the proceeds from the sale of the shares expired in 2011, after which the proceeds from the sale of the shares that had not been validly claimed by the shareholders were transferred to the ownership of the company.
The company has in 1998 completed an issuance of shares without payment (bonus issuance), as a result of which shares issued in the bonus issuance were also recorded in the joint account to the extent that they were attributable to the subscription rights attached to the shares that had not been converted into book-entry form and which were later forfeited. There are still 10,560 shares in the company's joint account which, according to the information available to the company, are shares in the company issued in connection with the bonus issuance. In the understanding of the Company, the rights of the shareholders to the shares issued in the bonus issuance have been definitively forfeited and, in the understanding of the company, no claims can be made for them.
According to Chapter 3, Section 14a of the Finnish Companies Act in force, the general meeting of shareholders may decide on the forfeiture of shares belonging to the book-entry system and the rights attached to them, if the shares have not been requested to be registered within ten years of the expiry of the registration period for entering the book-entry system and the entry into force of the current Finnish Companies Act. According to Chapter 9, Article 19 of the Finnish Companies Act, the general meeting of shareholders may decide that the right to a share to be issued in a share issue without payment and the rights attached thereto are forfeited if the receipt of the share to be issued in a share issue without payment requires specific actions from the recipient, such as the presentation of a share certificate, and the share has not been so claimed even though ten years have lapsed since the registration of the decision on the share issue. Forfeited shares are subject to the provisions applicable to treasury shares held by the company.
The shares registered in the company's joint account at the date of this notice, 10,560 shares in total, correspond to approximately 0.01% of all the shares in the company. The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting decides on the forfeiture of the rights to all the shares entered in the joint account as well as the rights attached to such shares, to the extent that the rights have not already been forfeited under the decisions described above, if the shares have not been requested to be registered in the book-entry system in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 3 of the Act on the Book-Entry System and Settlement Activities prior to the decision by the Annual General Meeting.
