As of April 1, 2007, our consolidated financial data include that of Nokia Siemens Networks on a
fully consolidated basis. Nokia Siemens Networks, a company jointly owned by Nokia and Sie
mens, is comprised of our former Networks business group and Siemens’ carrierrelated opera
tions for fixed and mobile networks. Accordingly, the average numbers of personnel for 2007 are
not directly comparable to the average numbers of personnel for 2006 and 2005.
Management believes that we have a good relationship with our employees and with the labor
unions.

Nokia shares purchased from the market. Nonexecutive members of the Board of Directors do not
