remuneration has remained unchanged since 2011. The Chairman of the Board of
Directors will be paid EUR 40,000 (previously EUR 33,000) per year, the Deputy
Chairman EUR 32,000 (previously EUR 27,000) per year, and the other Board

Committee meeting they attend. The Board members’ travel expenses will be
compensated in accordance with the company’s travel policy.

In accordance with a decision of the AGM, Board members acquire a number of Alma
Media Corporation shares corresponding to approximately 40 per cent of the full
amount of the annual remuneration for Board members, taking into account tax
deduction at source, at the public trading price. Members of the Board are
obligated to arrange the acquisition of the shares within two weeks of the
release of the first quarter 2016 interim report or, if this is not possible
because of insider trading regulations, at the earliest possible time
thereafter. If it was not possible to acquire the shares by the end of 2016 for
a reason such as pending insider transactions, the remuneration shall be paid in
cash. Shares acquired in this way may not be transferred until the recipient’s
membership on the Board has expired. The company is liable to pay any asset
transfer taxes which may arise from the acquisition of shares.

Composition of the Board of Directors
The AGM confirmed the number of Board members as seven (7) as proposed by the
Board of Directors’ Nomination and Compensation Committee.
In accordance with the proposal of the Shareholders’ Nomination Committee, the
AGM decided that, of the current Board members, Niklas Herlin, Esa Lager, Petri

a new term of office, extending until the end of the subsequent AGM. The

Authorisation to the Board of Directors to repurchase own shares

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of a
maximum of 824,000 shares in one or more lots. The proposed maximum authorised
quantity represents approximately one (1) per cent of the company’s entire share
capital. The shares shall be acquired using the company’s non-restricted
shareholders’ equity through trading in a regulated market arranged by NASDAQ
Helsinki and in accordance with its rules and instructions, which is why the
acquisition is directed, that is, the shares are purchased otherwise than in
proportion to shareholders’ current holdings. The price paid for the shares
shall be based on the price of the company share in the regulated market, so
that the minimum price of purchased shares is the lowest market price of the
share quoted in the regulated market during the term of validity of the
authorisation and the maximum price, correspondingly, the highest market price
quoted in the regulated market during the term of validity of the authorisation.
Shares may be purchased for the purpose of improving the company’s capital
structure, financing or carrying out corporate acquisitions or other
arrangements, implementing incentive schemes for the management or key
employees, or to be otherwise transferred or cancelled. It is proposed that the
authorisation be valid until the following Annual General Meeting, but
nonetheless no longer than until 30 June 2017.

Authorisation to the Board of Directors to decide on the transfer of own shares

The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue by
transferring shares in possession of the company. A maximum of 824,000 shares
may be issued on the basis of the authorisation. The proposed maximum authorised
quantity represents approximately one (1) per cent of the company's entire share
capital. The authorisation entitles the Board to decide on a directed share
issue, which entails deviating from the pre-emption rights of shareholders. The
Board can use the authorisation in one or more parts. The Board of Directors may
use the authorisation to implement incentive programmes for the management or
key employees of the company.

It is proposed that the authorisation be valid until the following Annual
General Meeting, but nonetheless no longer than until 30 June 2017. This
authorisation overrides the share issue authorisation granted at the Annual
General Meeting of 17 March 2015.

Authorisation to the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue
The AGM authorised the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue. The
authorisation would entitle the Board to issue a maximum of 16,500,000 shares.
The proposed maximum amount of shares corresponds to approximately 20 per cent
of the total number of shares in the company. The share issue may be implemented
by issuing new shares or transferring shares now in possession of the company.
The authorisation entitles the Board to decide on a directed share issue, which
entails deviating from the pre-emption rights of shareholders. The Board can use
the authorisation in one or more parts.

The Board may use the authorisation for developing the capital structure of the
company, widening the ownership base, financing or realising acquisitions or
other arrangements, or for other purposes decided on by the Board. The
authorisation may not, however, be used to implement incentive programmes for
the management or key employees of the company.

The authorisation is valid until the following ordinary AGM, but no longer than
until 30 June 2017. This authorisation overrides the share issue authorisation
granted at the Annual General Meeting of 17 March 2015, but not the share issue
authorisation proposed above.

Constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors
In its constitutive meeting held after the AGM, the Board of Directors elected
Harri Suutari as its Chairman and Petri Niemisvirta as its Vice Chairman.
The Board of Directors also appointed the members to its permanent committees.
Matti Korkiatupa and Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén were elected as members of
the Audit Committee and Esa Lager as Chairman of the Committee. Niklas Herlin,
Harri Suutari and Mitti Storckovius were elected members of the Nomination and
Compensation Committee, and Petri Niemisvirta was elected Chairman of the
Committee.
The Board of Directors has assessed that with the exception of Matti Korkiatupa,
Esa Lager and Niklas Herlin, the members of the Board are independent of the
company and its significant shareholders. The members mentioned hereinabove are
assessed to be independent of the company but not independent of its significant
shareholders. Matti Korkiatupa serves as the Managing Director of Illka-Yhtymä
Oyj, Esa Lager is a member of the Board of Ilkka-Yhtymä Oyj and Niklas Herlin is
the Chairman of the Board of Mariatorp Oy.
