Insiders

Under the Finnish Securities Market Act, the permanent insiders in Metso Corporation based on their positions are the members of the Board of Directors, the President and CEO, the Deputy to the President and CEO, and the Auditor or the principally responsible auditor of a firm of public accountants. In addition, Metso Corporation's extended list of insiders includes the members of the Executive Board.

Metso complies with the Guidelines of the Helsinki Exchanges for Insiders, which recommend that insiders schedule the trading of company securities to the moment when the markets have as exact information as possible on the issues influencing the value of the security. Based on this, Metso's permanent insiders are not allowed to trade in securities issued by the company 14 days prior to the publication of the company's interim review or financial statement bulletin.

Metso Corporation's register of insider holdings is maintained by the Corporate Legal Department, which updates the information in the Central Securities Depository.
