9. Resolution on the discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability
 
10. Presentation of the Remuneration Policy
The Board of Directors presents the Remuneration Policy and proposes the Annual General Meeting's advisory approval of the policy. The Remuneration Policy is attached to this notice.
 
11. Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that the remuneration of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting will be annual fees as follows, taking into consideration the recent merger between Tieto and EVRY: EUR 125 000 (current EUR 98 000) to the Chairperson, EUR 70 000 (current EUR 58 000) to the Deputy Chairperson and EUR 53 000 (current EUR 38 000) to the ordinary members of the Board of Directors. In addition to these fees it is proposed that the Chairperson of a permanent Board Committee receives an annual fee of EUR 20 000 and a member of a permanent Board Committee receives an annual fee of EUR 10 000. It is also proposed that the Board 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 remuneration for employee representatives elected as ordinary members of the Board of Directors will be an annual fee of EUR 15 000.
The Shareholders' Nomination Board is of the opinion that increasing long-term shareholding of the Board members will benefit all the shareholders. Every Board member elected by the Annual General Meeting is expected to over a five year period accumulate a shareholding in TietoEVRY that exceeds his/hers one-time annual remuneration.
The Shareholders' Nomination Board therefore proposes that part of the annual remuneration may be paid in TietoEVRY Corporation's shares purchased from the market. An elected member of the Board of Directors may, at his/her discretion, choose from the following five alternatives:
 
1)    no cash  100% in shares
 2)    25% in cash  75% in shares'
 3)    50% in cash  50% in shares
 4)    75% in cash   25% in shares
 5)    100% in cash   no shares
The shares will be acquired directly on behalf of the members of the Board within two weeks from the release of the interim report 1 January-31 March 2020 of TietoEVRY Corporation. 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.
Remuneration of the employee representatives elected as the ordinary members in the Board of Directors will be paid in cash only.
 
12. Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of Directors shall have ten members elected by the Annual General Meeting.
 
13. Election of members of the Board of Directors and the Chairman
The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the current Board members Tomas Franzén, Salim Nathoo, Harri-Pekka Kaukonen, Timo Ahopelto, Rohan Haldea, Liselotte Hägertz Engstam, Niko Pakalén, Endre Rangnes and Leif Teksum be re-elected and in addition, Katharina Mosheim proposed to be elected as a new Board member. The Shareholders' Nomination Board proposes that Tomas Franzén shall be re-elected as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
The term of office of the Board members ends at the close of the next Annual General Meeting. All the proposed candidates have given their consent to being elected.
Katharina Mosheim (born 1976), an Austrian citizen, is co-owner and CEO of Alpha Pianos AS which develops and produces evolutionary digital music instruments. She has earlier acted in various executive and managerial positions in Telia, Accenture and Capgemini in Norway and the Nordics, as well as Nokia Siemens Networks and Siemens Mobile Phones. Katharina Mosheim holds a Ph.D. (Business Administration) from Karl-Franzens University in Graz, Austria.
The biographical details of the candidates and information on their holdings is available on TietoEVRY's website at www.tietoevry.com/cv.
In addition to the above candidates, the company's personnel has elected four members, each with a personal deputy, to the Board of Directors. Tommy Sander Aldrin (deputy Sigmund Ørjavik), Ola Hugo Jordhøy (deputy Sigve Sandvik Lærdal), Anders Palklint (deputy Robert Spinelli) ja Ilpo Waljus (deputy Jenni Tyynelä) are appointed to the Board of Directors until the Annual General Meeting 2022.
 
14. 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.
 
15. Election 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 firm of authorized public accountants Deloitte Oy be elected as the company's auditor for the financial year 2020. The firm of authorized public accountants Deloitte Oy has notified that APA Jukka Vattulainen will act as the auditor with principal responsibility.
The Audit and Risk Committee has prepared its recommendation in accordance with the EU Audit Regulation (537/2014) and arranged a selection procedure. The management of the company has comprehensively assessed the received offers against the predefined selection criteria and prepared a report for the validation of the Committee. In addition to the experience in audit of an IT group of companies similar to TietoEVRY's business environment and pricing, the Committee has considered the quality of the services and qualifications of the audit team as well as risk related to the change of the auditor. In its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the Audit and Risk Committee placed second the firm of authorized public accountants Oy Ernst & Young Oy.
The Audit and Risk Committee confirms that its recommendation is free from influence by a third party and that no clause of the kind referred to in paragraph 6 of Article 16 of the EU Audit Regulation, which would restrict the choice by the Annual General Meeting as regards the appointment of the auditor, has been imposed upon it.
 
16. 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 amount of own shares to be repurchased shall not exceed 11 800 000 shares, which currently corresponds to approximately 10% of all the shares in the company. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to repurchase own shares.
•     Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of the repurchase or at a price otherwise formed on the market.
•     The Board of Directors decides how the share repurchase will be carried out. Own shares can be repurchased inter alia by using derivatives. The company's own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase).

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 30 April 2021.
 
17. 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 Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Board of Directors be authorized to decide on the issuance of shares as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares referred to in chapter 10 section 1 of the Companies Act in one or more tranches as follows:

•     The amount of shares to be issued based on the authorization (including shares to be issued based on the special rights) shall not exceed 11 800 000 shares, which currently corresponds to approximately 10% of all the shares in the company. However, out of the above maximum amount of shares to be issued no more than 950 000 shares, currently corresponding to less than 1% of all of the shares in the company, may be issued as part of the company's share-based incentive programs.
•     The Board of Directors decides on the terms and conditions of the issuance of shares as well as of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares. The authorization concerns both the issuance of new shares as well as the transfer of treasury shares. The issuance of shares as well as of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares may be carried out in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right (directed issue).

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 30 April 2021.
