Includes C, H, M and V series of Pohjolan Voima Oy.

Fair valuation of available-for-sale investments in the UPM Energy

segment (Pohjolan Voima Oy’s A, B, B2, C, C2, H, M and V-shares,

Kemijoki Oy shares, and Länsi-Suomen Voima Oy shares) is based on

discounted cash flows model. The Group’s electricity price estimate is

based on fundamental simulation of the Finnish area price. A change of

+/-5% in the electricity price used in the model would change the total

value of the assets by +/- EUR 369 million. The discount rate of 5.82%

used in the valuation model is determined using the weighted average

cost of capital method. A change of +/- 0.5% in the discount rate would

change the total value of the assets by approximately -/+ EUR 360

million. Other uncertainties and risk factors in the value of the assets

relate to start-up schedule of the fixed price turn-key Olkiluoto 3 nuclear

power plant project and the on-going arbitration proceedings between

the plant supplier AREVA-Siemens Consortium and the plant owner

Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO). UPM’s indirect share of the capacity of

Olkiluoto 3 is approximately 31%, through its PVO B2 shares. The

possible outcome of the arbitration proceedings has not been taken into

account in the valuation. Changes in regulatory environment or taxation

could also have an impact on the value of the energy generating assets.

Fair value of the OEP Technologie B.V. shares is based on the dis-

counted value of sales option related to the shareholding.

Pohjolan Voima Oy B and B2 series relate to shareholdings in Teolli-

suuden Voima Oyj, which operates and constructs nuclear power plants

in Olkiluoto, Finland. The operation of a nuclear power plant involves

potential costs and liabilities related to decommissioning and disman-

tling of the nuclear power plant and storage and disposal of spent fuel

and, furthermore, is governed by international, European Union and

local nuclear regulatory regimes. Pursuant to the Finnish Nuclear Liabil-

ity Act, the operator of a nuclear facility is strictly liable for damage

resulting from a nuclear incident at the operator’s installation or occur-

ring in the course of transporting nuclear fuels. Shareholders of power

companies that own and operate nuclear power plants are not subject to

liability under the Nuclear Liability Act. In Finland, the future costs of

conditioning, storage and final disposal of spent fuel, management of

low and intermediate level radioactive waste and nuclear power plant

decommissioning are the responsibility of the operator. Reimbursement

of the operators’ costs related to decommissioning and dismantling of

the power plant and storage and disposal of spent fuel are provided for

by state-established funds funded by annual contributions from nuclear

power plant operators. The contributions to such funds are intended to

be sufficient to cover estimated future costs which have been taken into

consideration in the fair value of the related available-for-sale invest-

ments.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables the Group con­

siders any change to the credit quality of trade receivables. There are no

indications that the debtors will not meet their payment obligations with

regard to trade receivables that are not overdue or impaired at 31 De-

cember 2014. In 2014, impairment of trade receivables amounted to

EUR 8 million (17 million) and is recorded under other costs and ex-

penses. Impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that

the Group is not able to collect the amounts due.

Maximum exposure to credit risk, without taking into account any

credit enhancements, is the carrying amount of trade and other receiv-

ables.

Treasury shares

The Annual General Meeting held on 8 April 2014 authorised the Board

of Directors to acquire no more than 50,000,000 of the company's own

shares. The authorisation is valid for 18 months from the date of the

decision.

As at 31 December 2014, the company held 230,737 (230,737) of its

own shares, 0.04% (0.04%) of the total number of shares. 211,481 of the

shares were returned upon their issue in 2011 to UPM without consider-

ation as part of the contractual arrangements relating to the Myllykoski

transaction and 19,256 shares in accordance with the Group’s share

reward scheme due to the termination of employment contracts in 2012.

Authorisations to increase the number of shares

The Annual General Meeting, held on 4 April 2013, authorised the

Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares and/or the trans-

fer of the company’s own shares held by the company and/or the issue of

special rights entitling holders to shares in the company as follows: (i)

The maximum number of new shares that may be issued and the compa-

ny’s own shares held by the company that may be transferred is, in total,

25,000,000 shares. This figure also includes the number of shares that

can be received on the basis of the special rights. (ii) The new shares and

special rights entitling holders to shares in the company may be issued

and the company’s own shares held by the company may be transferred

to the company’s shareholders in proportion to their existing sharehold-

ings in the company, or in a directed share issue, deviating from the

shareholder’s pre-emptive subscription right. This authorisation is valid

until 4 April 2016.

The subscription period for share options 2007C ended on 31 Octo-

ber 2014. During the entire share subscription period 4,435,302 shares

were subscribed through exercising 2007C share options. Following the

expiration of the 2007 stock options, the company has no stock option

programme in place.

Aside from the above, the Board of Directors has no current

authorisation to issue shares, convertible bonds or share options.

The shares available for subscription under the Board’s share issue

authorisation may increase the total number of the company’s shares by

4.68%, i.e. by 25,000,000 shares, to 558,735,699 shares.

Redemption clause

Under § 12 of UPM-Kymmene Corporation’s Articles of Association, a

shareholder who, alone or jointly with another shareholder owns 33 1/3

percent or 50 percent or more of all the company’s shares or their associ-

ated voting rights shall, at the request of other shareholders, be liable to

redeem their shares and any securities that, under the Companies Act,

carry the right to such shares, in the manner prescribed in § 12.

A resolution of a general meeting of shareholders to amend or

delete this redemption clause must be carried by shareholders represent-

ing not less than three-quarters of the votes cast and shares represented

at the meeting.
