Questions and Answers
Which ADR Holders are entitled to vote?
ADR Holders who are record holders of the Companys ADSs on the ADS Record Date of February 17, 2009 will receive the proxy material. Those ADR Holders who are record holders of the Companys ADSs as of the close of business on April 8, 2009 are entitled to vote, although their voting position will be reconciled as of the Finnish Record Date of April 9, 2009.
What is the Finnish Record Date?
According to Finnish law, a shareholder must be recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company ten days prior to the Meeting, i.e. taking into account Finnish holidays, on the Finnish Record Date of April 9, 2009, in order to be entitled to vote at the Meeting. This means that although you have voted correctly before 5:00 P.M. on April 1, 2009, your voting position will be reconciled as of the Finnish Record Date.
Will I be recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date?
Yes. If you are a record holder of the Companys ADSs as of the close of business on April 8, 2009, and you have provided your voting instructions to the Depositary as instructed in this Depositarys Notice, you will be automatically recorded on the Register on a temporary basis for you to vote at the Meeting.
Are there any other requirements in connection with the Finnish Record Date?
No. Being a record holder of the Companys ADSs as of the close of business on April 8, 2009 and providing voting instructions to the Depositary by the Voting Deadline automatically ensures that the ADR Holder will be temporarily recorded on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date of April 9, 2009.
What is the temporary recording of the Deposited Securities on the Companys Register of Shareholders and why is it required?
As mentioned above, only shareholders registered on the Register of Shareholders of the Company on the Finnish Record Date of April 9, 2009, may vote at the Meeting. As an ADR Holder, in the normal course, your Deposited Securities are registered on the Register of Shareholders of the Company in the name of Citibanks local custodian. For you to vote at the Meeting, the Deposited Securities underlying your ADSs must be temporarily re-recorded from Citibanks local custodians name to your name on the Register of Shareholders of the Company as of the Finnish Record Date. This is done temporarily for the purpose of voting at the Meeting only.
Can voting instructions be changed?
Yes, voting instructions may be changed at any time prior to the Voting Deadline of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on April 1, 2009 by completing new Voting Instructions on the Internet Voting website, by giving new Telephone Voting Instructions at 1-800-652-Vote (8683) or by calling Citibanks ADR Services at 1 -877-NOKIA-ADR (1-877-665-4223) and requesting a new Voting Card and returning the new and completed Voting Card to the Depositary.
Please note that the last instructions received by the Depositary (whether it be a new Voting Card, Internet Voting Instructions, or Telephone Voting Instructions) by the Voting Deadline will be the Voting Instructions followed by the Depositary.
What information is required from me to vote my ADSs?
Finnish law and regulations require at the minimum the following information from a beneficial owner:
· Name;
· Address;
· Number of Deposited Securities held; and
· Identification number (i.e. account number).
3
Please note that by voting your ADSs, you are authorizing your bank, broker, or nominee to disclose the above-mentioned information to the Depositary, the Company, and the Finnish Registrar for the purpose of temporarily recording your name and number of shares on the Companys Register of Shareholders. Without disclosure of this information, your votes will not be counted.
What is item 17, which pertains to other matters at the Annual General Meeting, in the voting card?
Under Finnish law, Nokias Notice of Annual General Meeting must include an agenda setting out the matters to be brought before the meeting. The agenda must include those matters, which, pursuant to Nokias Articles of Association and mandatory Finnish law, must be resolved at the Annual General Meeting, and any other matters under the authority of a shareholders meeting brought to the agenda by the shareholders early enough for them to be included in the agenda. Matters not included in the agenda of the Annual General Meeting may not be resolved on at the Meeting.
The other matters referred to in the voting card under item 17 relate to procedural matters only, i.e. the agenda items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and may include such matters as the election of the chairman for the meeting and persons to scrutinize the minutes.
What does it mean, if an ADR Holder marks the box to give a discretionary proxy regarding item 17 of the Annual General Meeting?
If an ADR Holder has marked the relevant box and other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, the nominated representative of the Company will have a discretionary proxy to vote the Holders ADSs with respect to those other matters. The nominated representatives are Nokias legal counsels.
Why is it important to vote?
The Company considers it important that as many shareholders as possible use their vote at the Meeting. In addition, resolution under some of the agenda items requires a qualified majority of the votes cast, as well as of the shares represented at the Meeting. ADR Holders form a significant number of Nokia shares represented at the Meeting. Therefore, the Company also encourages ADR Holders to vote at the Meeting.
Where is the Proxy Material available?
In addition to mailing the ADR Holders this Depositarys Notice and the Voting Card as well as the Companys Meeting Notice, Nokia is providing the ADR Holders with the possibility to access the proxy material on the Internet. The proxy material can be accessed on the Internet through http://www.citi.com/dr and http://www.nokia.com/agm.
Are the proposals on the Agenda available in their entirety?
Yes. The proposals by the Nokia Board and its Committees are available in their entirety on the Internet through http://www.citi.com/dr and http://www.nokia.com/agm. Nokias Form 20-F Annual Report will also be available on Nokias website by March 13, 2009 at the latest.
Delivery of shareholder documents via the Internet.
ADR holders may receive Nokia Corporations shareholder documents (such as disclosure documents, proxy material, etc.) over the internet.

* Please note that the Company has informed the Depositary that pursuant to Finnish law proposals may be accepted with respect to the agenda items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 up to and including the Meeting. However, the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee of the Board of Directors has disclosed a proposal on item 10, 11 and 12 and the Audit Committee a proposal on item 13 and 14. It is possible for the ADR Holders to vote FOR the proposal on item 12 as a whole or in part, and FOR or ABSTAIN for agenda items 10, 11, 13, and 14.
Please also note that when calculating the votes on a resolution requiring a qualified majority to be adopted, such as a resolution on the Boards proposal under item 15 on the agenda, an ABSTAIN vote will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal according to Finnish law.
