The Board's proposals

Item 8 – Dividends
The board proposes that no dividend be paid (SEK 0 last year).

Item 15 – Guidelines for remuneration of senior executives
The Board proposes that the AGM approves the following guidelines with respect to the remuneration of the President and other senior executives. At present, 'other senior executives' refers to the seven people who, together with the President, make up Group management. These individuals are presented on the company's website and pages 82 to 83 of the 2009 Annual Report.
{tab=page4}
The compensation paid to the President and other senior executives consists of a basic salary, possibly a component of variable pay, other benefits and pension contributions. The total remuneration package must be in line with market rates and competitive in the market in which the executives work. Basic salary and variable pay are related to the responsibilities and powers held by each executive. The variable component is based on outcomes in relation to defined and measurable targets and is capped in relation to basic pay. The variable pay programme shall be designed so that the Board can impose conditions, restrict or decline to make payments of variable pay in exceptional financial circumstances if such measure is considered to be reasonable and compatible with the duties of the company in relation to shareholders, employees and other interested parties.

The period of notice is between six months and one year should notice be given by the executive, and between one and two years should notice be given by the company. The President is entitled to annual remuneration for two years at a rate corresponding to the salary paid during the period of notice.
Pension benefits are either defined benefit or defined contribution schemes or a combination thereof. The executives are entitled to receive a pension from the age of 62.

All matters relating to the remuneration of the company management are dealt with by a Compensation Committee, except in respect of the President, whose remuneration is decided by the Board of Directors. If the company in a particular case assigns an individual Board member tasks over and above his/her regular Board and committee duties, the Board shall determine the level of compensation for this work. Such compensation must be reasonable and in line with market rates.

The Board shall be empowered to deviate from these guidelines if there are special reasons to do so in an individual case.

It is intended that a special capped, performance-based bonus linked to the project in South Africa be paid to the President and, subject to a decision by the Compensation Committee, to other senior executives involved in this project.

Item 16 – Resolutions on a) a directed new issue, b) an amendment to the Articles of Association, and c) a reverse share split

The Board considers that there is a need to reduce the number of shares with a view to having a number of shares that is more rational for the company. To achieve this outcome, the Board proposes that the AGM resolves in accordance with the following proposal. The proposed resolutions under items a. to c. below shall be made as one resolution and consequently are conditional on all proposals being adopted by the AGM.

a) Resolution on a directed new issue

The Board proposes that the AGM resolves to increase the company's share capital by at most SEK 3.10, through a new share issue of no more than 31 ordinary shares. The right to subscribe for new shares shall, deviating from the priority rights of the shareholders, be allotted to Swedbank AB (publ). The new shares must be subscribed for no later than 23 April 2010. Over-subscription is not possible. The issue price per share shall correspond to the share's closing price as listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm on 20 April 2010, though no lower than the share's quota value. Payment shall be made in cash no later than 23 April 2010. The new shares entitle the holder to profit dividends for the first time on the record day for dividends that falls immediately after the new share issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares entered into the register of shareholders kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.

The aim of the issue and the reason for a deviation from the shareholders' priority rights is to achieve a number of shares that can be evenly divisible by ten (10), so that the company's share has an even quota value after the reverse share split referred to under item c. below has been implemented. The issue price is based on the market value of the share as at 20 April 2010.

b) Amendment to the Articles of Association

To enable the reverse share split according to item c. below, the Board proposes that the AGM resolves that Article 5 of the Articles of Association be amended as follows. The amendment also entails the removal of the provision contained in Article 5 regarding the split between ordinary shares and 'C' shares. This provision was previously introduced in conjunction with the company's buy-back programme in 2002. The provision serves no purpose today and the Board is of the opinion that it should consequently be removed.

The Board therefore proposes that the current text under Article 5 is removed and replaced by the following:

"The number of shares shall be at least 100,000,000 and at most 400,000,000."

c) Reverse share split

The board proposes that the AGM resolves on a reverse split of the company's shares (1:10), in which connection ten (10) ordinary shares shall be combined as one (1) ordinary share, with a view to having a number of shares that is more rational for the company. If the shareholding of a shareholder does not correspond to a full number of new shares, Swedbank AB (publ) ('the Guarantor') will without charge transfer to the shareholder the number of shares (1 to 9 shares) required for the shareholder's holding to be evenly divisible by ten (10), after adding the supplemental shares provided by the Guarantor; i.e. rounding up. The Board is authorised to fix the record day for the reverse split. This proposal means that the company's share capital, after the directed new share issue under item a. above and the reverse split have been implemented, will amount to SEK 153,393,890 divided into 153,393,890 ordinary shares, whereby each share shall have a quota value of one (1) Swedish krona.

The Board also proposes that the Board, or the person appointed by the Board, be authorised to make minor adjustments to resolutions of the AGM according to items a. to c. above that may be required in conjunction with registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 17 – Resolution on authorising the Board to make decisions on commission-free trade

For historical reasons the company has a large number of shareholders who own a small number of shares. In order to make it easier for shareholders who only hold a small number of shares to change their holding, where the cost of the trade ('commission') constitutes a significant value in relation to the value of the shares, and in order to rationalise the company's administration with the aim of achieving significant cost savings for the company over time, the company's Board has discussed the possibility of offering the sale or alternatively the purchase of shares through a simplified procedure, without commission charges for the shareholders affected. The cost of the trade is intended to be borne by the company. This procedure is also intended to result in a suitable ownership structure and improved liquidity for the trade in the company's shares. As a supplement to the adjustment of the ownership structure of the company, for the same reasons as presented above, the Board would also like to provide the owners of the call options 2009/2011, issued by Swedbank in conjunction with the new share issue in November 2009, with a corresponding opportunity to adjust their ownership without being charged commission.

The Board therefore proposes that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board, no later than prior to the 2011 AGM, to offer company shareholders with holdings of less than 1,000 shares (100 shares after the reverse split according to the Board's proposal), the opportunity of, on one occasion, selling their holding or alternatively purchasing, without being charged commission, as many shares as are necessary to reduce or increase their holding to 1,000 shares (100 shares after the reverse split implemented according to the Board's proposal). Furthermore, it should be possible to offer the holders of less than 3,000 call options 2009/2011 a corresponding opportunity to be able, without being charged commission, to sell or alternatively purchase, on one occasion, as many shares as are necessary to reduce or increase their holding to 3,000 call options. (In conjunction with the reverse split proposed by the Board, a recalculation will be made of the number of shares that the call options carry a right to subscribe for together with the issue price per share, so that ten (10) call options will be entitled to subscribe for one (1) ordinary share at an issue price of SEK 8.20.) It is also proposed that the Board be authorised to decide on the period during which the offer is to be open and the more detailed conditions of the offer.

Item 18 – Resolution on authorising the Board to make decisions on transferring treasury shares

The Board proposes that the AGM authorises the Board to transfer shares in the company on one or several occasions during the period up until the next AGM (shares previously acquired under the company's buy-back programme). Treasury shares may only be transferred on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at a price within the price interval recorded by NASDAQ OMX Stockholm from time to time. The number of treasury shares transferred may not exceed the number of treasury shares held by the company at the time of sale. Shares transferred must be paid for in cash. The purpose of authorising the Board is to enable the company to dispose of the treasury shares that it currently owns, as the company no longer has any further need for these shares, and to also thereby release liquidity.

Item 19 – Decision on incentive programme through issue of subscription warrants

The Board considers it to be important and in the interest of all shareholders to create a long-term ownership commitment on the part of the management of the company and also give the management the possibility of participating in and working to promote the positive development of the value of the company's shares and also to increase the management's sense of belonging in respect of the company. The Board therefore proposes that the AGM, deviating from the shareholders' 'priority rights', resolves to introduce a long-term incentives programme for the senior executives of the company, involving the issue of subscription warrants of two series, basically in accordance with the following.

The Board proposes that the AGM resolves to issue at most 25,000,000 Series A subscription warrants and 5,000,000 Series B subscription warrants. The right to subscribe for these subscription warrants without payment will pass to the company's wholly owned subsidiary Utansjö Bruk AB. Following subscription, existing and future senior executives at the Rottneros Group shall be offered the opportunity to acquire these subscription warrants by Utansjö Bruk AB.

When all of the options for subscribing for new ordinary shares have been utilised in full, the share capital will increase by at most SEK 3,000,000, corresponding to 30,000,000 ordinary shares with a quota value of SEK 0.10 per share. The dilution effect on the full utilisation of the 25,000,000 Series A subscription warrants and the 5,000,000 Series B subscription warrants, which it is proposed should be issued, is about two per cent of the share capital and votes in the company. The company does not consider that any significant costs will arise in conjunction with the subscription warrant programme.

The conditions for the subscription warrants will be recalculated in conjunction with the proposed reverse share split.

Series A subscription warrants

The following categories, who are current senior executives of the Rottneros Group, will be offered Series A 2010/2013 subscription warrants: (a) the President, who will be offered no more than 10,000,000 subscription warrants; (b) the Marketing Director, who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants; (c) the Managing Director of Rottneros Bruk AB, who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants; (d) the Managing Director of Vallvik Bruk AB, who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants; (d) the Technical Director, who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants; (f) the Wood Procurement Director who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants; and (g) the Purchasing Director, who will be offered no more than 2,500,000 subscription warrants. Senior executives must pay SEK 0.10 per subscription warrant when the subscription warrants are transferred to them. The minimum number of subscription warrants that each senior executive may acquire is 500,000 subscription warrants. Notice of acquisition and the number of subscription warrants that they wish to acquire shall be given during the period 7 May 2010 to 14 May 2010.

Each subscription warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new ordinary share in Rottneros during the periods 17 May 2011 to 31 March 2013 and 1 April 2013 to 16 May 2013. The issue price for each ordinary share shall be based on the average latest price paid for the company's share on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the period 23 April 2010 to 6 May 2010 and shall, employing the Black-Scholes valuation model, be determined so that the option premium amounts to SEK 0.10 at the time a subscription warrant is transferred. However, the issue price per ordinary share shall never be less than the quota value of the share, which is currently SEK 0.10.

Series B subscription warrants

The future CFO at Rottneros shall no later than 2 May 2011 be offered the opportunity of acquiring no more than 5,000,000 Series B subscription warrants. The future CFO must pay SEK 0.10 per subscription warrant when the subscription warrants are transferred to the CFO. The minimum number of subscription warrants that may be acquired is 500,000 subscription warrants.

Each subscription warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new ordinary share in Rottneros during the periods 17 May 2011 to 31 March 2013 and 1 April 2013 to 16 May 2013. The issue price for each ordinary share shall be based on the average latest price paid for the company's share on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during the ten trading days prior to the time of acquisition or alternatively the ten last trading days prior to 2 May 2011 and shall, employing the Black-Scholes valuation model, be determined so that the option premium amounts to SEK 0.10 at the time a subscription warrant is transferred. However, the issue price per ordinary share shall never be less than the quota value of the share, which is currently SEK 0.10.

Item 20 – Resolution on a conditional amendment to the Articles of Association

The Board proposes that Article 8 of the Articles of Association be amended as follows:

Article 8 "Notice convening general meetings shall be announced in the Post- och Inrikes Tidningar (Official Swedish Gazette) and on the company's website. On the date the notice to attend is issued, information about the fact that the notice to attend has been issued will be announced in the Dagens Nyheter newspaper and in a daily newspaper published in Sunne."

The Board also proposes that the Board, or the person appointed by the Board, be authorised to make minor adjustments to resolutions of the AGM that may be required in conjunction with registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The Board's proposed amendment of Article 8 of the Articles of Association is conditional on an amendment having entered into force in the Swedish Companies Act (SFS 2005:551) regarding how shareholders are provided with notice to attend AGMs, which means that the proposed wording above will comply with the Swedish Companies Act.

Decision majority

For resolutions on the Board's proposals contained in Items 16, 18 and 20 above, the resolutions of the AGM must be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting. For resolutions on the Board's proposals as stated in Item 19 above, the resolution of the AGM must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting. A simple majority is required (over half of those voting) for other resolutions.

Documents

The annual report, the audit report, the auditor's statement on whether the AGM guidelines for compensation to senior executives have been observed, and the Board's resolution proposals under Items 8 and 15 to 20 will be available from the company at Kungsbron 1, C6, Stockholm, Sweden and on the company's website, www.rottneros.com, no later than Thursday 8 April 2010 and sent to those shareholders who request a copy and provide their postal address. These documents can be ordered by telephone on +46 8 590 010 00.

The number of shares and votes

The total number of shares in the company is 1,533,938,869, corresponding to 1,533,938,869 votes. The company holds 8,219,641 shares that cannot be represented at the AGM. This information was current at the time the notice was issued.

Amendments of the Articles of Association

The AGM approved the Board's proposal to amend §4 of the Articles of Association to the effect that the Board of Directors has only one Deputy Chairman instead of two Deputy Chairmen. The amendment does not affect the aggregate number of Board members, i.e. that the Board continues to have at least five and not more than twelve members.

The AGM approved the Board's proposal to amend §10 of the Articles of Association regarding the notice period of the General Meeting of the shareholders in such a manner that the notice to the meeting shall be published no later than three weeks prior to the General Meeting, but in any case at the latest nine days before the record date referred to in Section 2, Subsection 2 of Chapter 4 of the Finnish Companies Act.

Authorisation to decide on the acquisition of the Company's own shares

The Board was authorised to decide on the acquisition of not more than 51,000,000 own shares of the company. The authorisation includes also the right to accept the company's own shares as pledge.

By virtue of the authorisation the Company's own shares will be acquired in public trading otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the Company's shareholders at the market price quoted at the time of purchase on the trading places where the Company's shares or the certificates entitling to its shares are traded, using the Company's unrestricted shareholders' equity.

The shares will be acquired to be used for financing of possible corporate acquisitions, investments or other business operations or as part of the Company's incentive programmes, or to be retained by the Company, transferred or cancelled.

The Board shall decide on all other matters related to the acquisition of the Company's own shares.

The authorisation will remain valid for 18 months from the date of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. This authorisation cancels the authorisation to acquire the Company's own shares resolved by the Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2009.

Authorisation to decide on the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares of the Company

The Board was authorised to decide on the issuance of shares and/or transfer the Company's own shares held by the Company and/or issue special rights entitling to shares of the Company as follows:

The maximum number of the new shares that may be issued and the Company's own shares held by the Company that may be transferred is in the aggregate 25,000,000 shares including also the number of shares that can be received on the basis of the special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act.

The new shares and special rights entitling to shares of the Company may be issued and the Company's own shares held by the Company may be transferred to the Company's shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings in the Company, or in a directed share issue, deviating from the shareholder's pre-emptive subscription right, provided that the Company has a weighty financial reason for doing so, such as financing of possible corporate acquisitions, investments or other business operations, or using the shares as part of the Company's incentive programmes.

The Board of Directors may decide on a share issue without a payment to the Company itself.

The new shares may be issued and the own shares held by the Company may be transferred either against payment or without payment. The directed share issue may be without payment only in case there is an especially weighty financial reason when taking into consideration the interests of the Company and all its shareholders.

The subscription price of the new shares and the amount payable for the Company's own shares shall be recorded in the reserve for invested unrestricted equity.

In accordance with Chapter 9, Section 20 of the Finnish Companies Act, a public company may not decide on a free of payment issue to the company itself, if the total number of the company's own shares held by the company and its subsidiaries would then exceed one tenth (1/10) of all of the shares of the company.

The Board shall decide on all other matters related to the issues and transfers of shares and special rights entitling to shares. The authorisation is valid until 22 March 2013.

Donations for philanthropic or corresponding purposes

The Board was authorised to decide to donate no more than EUR 500,000 for philanthropic or corresponding purposes in year 2010 and that the Board be authorised to determine the donees, the purposes and the terms of the donations at its discretion.

This latest investment with its inline print enhancement not only expands our product portfolio but it also increases our added value offering to our customers."

The press installed by Hannapak is a highly specified 700 series, with the inline foiling, but also inline camera for bad sheet detection, and inline waste sheet eject.

Speaking at the event manroland board member Dr Markus Rall says, "Australia seems a more optimistic environment than much of Europe, and this is reflected in the likes of Hannapak making this significant investment. We believe the future for print is bright, notwithstanding the current crisis, which in some markets is coming to an end."

Rall outlined manroland's twin goals in press development of increasing efficiencies and provided added value solutions, goals he said were 'perfectly summed up in the Hannpak press."

Steve Dunwell, managing director of manroland Australasia professed himself delighted to be carrying on the long relationship manroland has enjoyed with Hannapak, he says, "We are proud to partner one of the most advanced printers in the country."

STORA ENSO OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 23 March 2010 at 7.00 GMT

Stora Enso's Board of Directors will, as announced on 4 February 2010, propose to the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on 31 March 2010 that EUR 0.20 per share be distributed to the shareholders from the parent company's invested unrestricted equity fund.

Stora Enso has received a legally final advance ruling from the Finnish tax authorities on how the proposed fund distribution of EUR 0.20 per share from the parent company's invested unrestricted equity fund will be treated for tax purposes. The advance ruling only concerns Stora Enso's tax withholding obligations as a distributor of funds. According to the ruling, EUR 0.035 per share will be treated taxwise as dividend and EUR 0.165 per share will be treated taxwise as repayment of invested equity at the point of payment. Stora Enso is liable to withhold due taxes on the part that will be treated as
dividend.

The fund distribution will be treated partly as dividend because part of the funds in the invested unrestricted equity fund originated from earlier years' retained earnings.

UPM's President and CEO Jussi Pesonen stated today in the company's Annual General Meeting that demand is recovering in UPM's main markets and signs of increased investment activity are emerging.

"Chemical pulp market and prices have been stronger than anticipated. Demand for pulp in China has been on a good level already for some time and the consequences of the natural catastrophe in Chile are further impacting the market situation."

"The prices for fine and speciality papers have increased due to good demand and increased cost of pulp. However, the significant decline in newsprint and magazine grade prices materialised."

"The stevedores' strike in Finland caused significant costs and loss of revenue, the main impact of which will affect March and April 2010. The estimated direct daily costs will remain below EUR 3 million, as we were able to have part of our production running throughout the strike. For example our pulp mills and speciality paper machines remained operating."

Pesonen said in the Annual General Meeting that UPM is moving on to a new development phase. "Our productivity has undergone vital increase during the last five years. Our production units and operating processes are now efficient and modern. We cannot identify needs for major structural changes in the company in the foreseeable future. Continuous improvement and cost efficiency continue to be part of our everyday operations but strategic initiatives and building on UPM's strengths will be clearly more our focus."
