Based on provisions of the Finnish Companies Act, the Board of Directors has as of 2016 had the possibility of proposing to the Annual General Meeting on the forfeiture of the shares held in the Joint Account and all rights attached to such shares. Correspondingly, the Annual General Meeting has had the right to decide on the forfeiture as of 2016. So far, the Board has not made such proposal to the Annual General Meeting.

In case the Annual General Meeting was to decide on the forfeiture of the shares held in the Joint Account, including all rights attached to them, the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act on treasury shares would be applied to forfeited shares as of the decision.

Therefore, the company would be entitled to keep the shares in its possession, cancel or transfer them in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act.

The forfeiture would only apply to shares in the Joint Account and not to any shares that are held in the shareholder’s personal book-entry account or nominee registered shares of Raisio Plc.

If the Annual General Meeting were to decide on the forfeiture of the shares in the Joint Account, including the rights attached to the them, this would mean that the right to receive restricted shares and rights attached to them as a merger premium against presenting the share certificate of Oy Vehnä Ab and/or Oy Kasviöljy-Växtolje Ab would also cease.
