_____________________
The purchase price calculated from the applicable Fixed Yield or Fixed Spread includes the Early Tender Payment. The Late Consideration for each series of Notes will deduct the Early Tender Payment from the purchase price calculated from the applicable Fixed Spread or Fixed Yield.
For information purposes only: the Euro Notes Early Consideration (as defined herein) payable by Nokia for the Euro Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers and accepted for purchase by Nokia will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase. Assuming the Tender Offer Settlement Date is March 23, 2017, the Euro Notes Early Consideration will be EUR 1,128.37 per EUR 1,000 of Euro Notes accepted and the Euro Notes Late Consideration will be EUR 1,098.37 per EUR 1,000 of Euro Notes accepted. Should the Tender Offer Settlement Date be postponed, the Early Consideration and Late Consideration for the Euro Notes will be recalculated and will be announced, for information purposes only, as provided in the Offer to Purchase.
Rationale for the Tender Offers
The purpose of the Tender Offers is to manage the overall indebtedness of Nokia. Following settlement of the Tender Offers, Nokia expects to cancel the Euro Notes. The Dollar Notes purchased in the Tender Offers are expected to be held by Nokia following the Tender Offers.
Terms and conditions of the Tender Offers
New Financing Condition and other Conditions
Nokia announced today its intention to issue new euro-denominated fixed-rate notes to non-U.S. persons outside the United States (the New Notes). Nokia intends to use the proceeds of the New Notes to fund the Tender Offer for the Euro Notes, with the remaining proceeds used to fund the Tender Offers for the Dollar Notes on a pro rata basis. This stock exchange release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes, and the New Notes will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), as amended. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act.
Whether Nokia will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers is subject to, among other things, Nokias successful completion (in the sole and absolute determination of Nokia) and settlement of the issue of the New Notes at an amount equal to or exceeding the Maximum Acceptance Amount, as defined below (the New Financing Condition). Nokia may waive the New Financing Condition in its sole discretion. The Tender Offers are subject to additional conditions, further detailed in the Offer to Purchase.
Maximum Acceptance Amount and Pro-ration
If Nokia decides to accept any Notes for purchase, Nokia proposes to accept for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers an aggregate principal amount of Notes such that the total amount payable by Nokia for all Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers (excluding any Accrued Interest, as defined below) is no greater than the cash amount equal to USD 1,000 million (such amount, which may be increased or decreased, the Maximum Acceptance Amount). Nokia will determine whether the Maximum Acceptance Amount has been reached by converting the principal amount of the Euro Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates, as further described in the Offer to Purchase.
Subject to the terms of the Tender Offers, Nokia will only accept for purchase Notes for an aggregate purchase price (excluding any Accrued Interest, as defined below) that will not exceed the Maximum Acceptance Amount. Nokia reserv
