CVM SENT A PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF A NET SHORT POSITION OF 0.50% IN THE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF NOKIA OYJ ON OCTOBER 10, 2014.
FURTHER SHORT POSITION MOVEMENTS LED TO DISCLOSURES CULMINATING TO A 1.19% DISCLOSURE ON NOVEMBER 12, 2015. THEREAFTER, ON
NOVEMBER 12, 2015 CVM CLOSED/COVERED THE ENTIRE SHORT POSITION OF NOKIA OYJ. DURING THIS PERIOD CVM MADE 10 TIMELY NOTIFICATIONS
DUE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE NOKIA SHORT POSITION. ON NOVEMBER 13, 2015, DUE TO ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR, CVM FAILED TO REPORT THAT IT
HAD CLOSED OUT OF THE NOKIA POSITION THE PREVIOUS DAY. ON JANUARY 12, 2016, CAPSTONE IDENTIFIED THE ERROR AND SELF-REPORTED THE
CORRECTED POSITION TO THE FIN-FSA. THE FIN-FSA SENT A LETTER TO CVM ON MARCH 23, 2016 INFORMING THEM OF THE MATTER AND PROVIDED AN
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND. HOWEVER, IN ITS SUBSEQUENT DECISION THE FIN-FSA WROTE THAT THE TIME SPECIFIED IN THE SSR FOR SUBMISSION
OF A NOTIFICATION TO THE COMPETENT AUTHORITY IS UNCONDITIONAL, AND FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH IT CANNOT BE CORRECTED REGARDLESS OF
THE MITIGATING FACTORS HIGHLIGHTED BY CAPSTONE IN ITS RESPONSE. THE FIN-FSA IMPOSED A FINE OF EUR 20,000.
