of Huhtamäki in 1986-1989.
Proposal on Board of Directors' remuneration
The Nomination Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the members of
the Board of Directors to be elected for a term of office ending at the end of
the Annual General Meeting of 2014 would be paid the following annual
remuneration: Chairman of the Board of Directors EUR 100,000; Vice-Chairman of
the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Audit Committee EUR 60,000; and
other members of the Board of Directors EUR 48,000 each. The Nomination Board
furthermore proposes that for each meeting of the Board of Directors or its
committees a fee of EUR 700 would be paid to the members of the Board that
reside in the Nordic countries, a fee of EUR 1,400 would be paid to the members
of the Board that reside in other European countries and a fee of EUR 2,800
would be paid to the members of the Board that reside outside Europe. The
Nomination Board proposes that as a condition for the annual remuneration the
members of the Board of Directors are obliged, directly based on the General
Meeting's decision, to use 40% of the fixed annual remuneration for purchasing
Metso Corporation shares from the market at a price formed in public trading and
that the purchase will be carried out within two weeks from the publication of
the interim review for the period January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013.
Metso's Board of Directors will include these proposals into the notice of the
Annual General Meeting, which will be published later.

an external expert in the Metso Board meetings also in the next Board term
within the limitations imposed by the Finnish law. The new Board of Directors
will invite the personnel representative as its external expert in its
organizing meeting after the Annual General Meeting.
