defendants, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo and Anssi Vanjoki, in addition to the four individual defendants
named in the initial complaint. The Consolidated Complaint alleges principally that Nokia’s positive
statements about its product portfolio and the projections based thereon were false and
misleading because Nokia knew that there were substantial weaknesses in the product portfolio.
The Consolidated Complaint also alleges that Nokia employed accounting and inventory techniques
that were allegedly used to improperly manipulate sales figures. Nokia does not believe that the
lead plaintiff’s claims have merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

upon the information currently available, our management does not believe that liabilities related
to these proceedings, in the aggregate, are likely to be material to our financial condition or
results of operations.
