 Amended agreement between shareholders of Aktia plc, nomination committee       
 proposal by the Board of Directors

 It has come to Aktia plc's (Aktia) attention that the shareholders' agreement   
 between certain Aktia foundations and savings bank foundations as well as other 
 institutions, holding in total approximately 64 per cent of the shares and      
 approximately 70 per cent of the voting rights in Aktia, has been amended so    
 that the agreement no longer stipulates a purpose to represent an unanimous     
 shareholder interest. The amendment does not affect the agreement otherwise. The
 agreement pertains to the redemption of the parties' series R shares, such      
 shares amounting in total to approximately 21 per cent of all shares and 64 per 
 cent of all votes in Aktia. Information on the shareholders' agreement and the  
 parties thereto is available on Aktia's website www.aktia.fi.

 The Board of Directors of Aktia has today resolved to propose for the Annual    
 General Meeting 2010 to appoint a nomination committee with duty to prepare, for
 the company's Annual General Meetings, resolution proposals regarding members of
 the Board of Supervisors and the auditors of Aktia as well as regarding their   
 remuneration. Pursuant to the proposal, the nomination committee would consist  
 of representatives of the three largest shareholders and the chairman of the    
 Board of Supervisors as an expert member. The right to nominate a representative
 to the nomination committee would be held by the three shareholders holding the 
 largest amount of all shares in Aktia on 1 November the calendar year prior to  
 the Annual General Meeting. Further, the shareholders Sparbanksstiftelsen i     
 Helsingfors, the Life Annuity Institution Hereditas and Veritas Pension         
 Insurance Company Ltd. have informed Aktia of their intention to make resolution
 proposals regarding members of the Board of Supervisors and the auditors as well
 as regarding their remuneration for the mandate period commencing after Aktia's 
 Annual General Meeting 2010.
