In September 2013, Nokia announced the sale of substantially all of its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft. Subsequent to the approval for the sale received in the Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2013, Nokia Group has presented Devices & Services Business as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on April 25, 2014. In the consolidated income statement for the year 2013, the financial results of the Devices & Services Business were reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2012 were restated accordingly. As of January 1, 2013, Nokia adopted new revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard. As a result, the net pension liabilities and other comprehensive income were impacted mainly by the retrospectively applied elimination of the corridor approach and financial information for the year 2012 were adjusted accordingly. Thus, the restated information for the year 2012 presented in the following tables is unaudited.
On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. In the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, HERE has been reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the comparative nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and for the year 2014 were restated accordingly. Thus, the restated consolidated income statement information for the year 2014 presented in the following table is unaudited. HERE has been reported as part of Nokias continuing operations in the consolidated financial information for the financial years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. |

In November 2011, Nokia Networks announced its strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services. It also announced an extensive global restructuring program that ultimately resulted in the reduction of its annualized operating expenses and production overhead by over EUR 1.5 billion when the program was completed at the end of 2013. As part of its strategy of focusing on mobile broadband, Nokia Networks also divested a number of non-core businesses. | ||||
Beginning in 2013, Nokia undertook a series of transactions to transform its business portfolio. On July 1, 2013, Nokia announced the agreement to acquire Siemens 50% stake in the companies joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The purchase price was EUR 1.7 billion and the transaction closed on August 7, 2013. On September 3, 2013, Nokia announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft for a total purchase price of EUR 5.44 billion, of which EUR 3.79 billion related to the Sale of the Devices & Services Business and EUR 1.65 billion related to a mutual patent license agreement. In conjunction with the transaction, Nokia established the Nokia Technologies business to focus on technology development and intellectual property rights activities. The transaction significantly strengthened the Companys financial position and subsequent to the transaction, in 2014, Nokia started the optimization of its capital structure and recommenced dividend payments, distributed excess capital to shareholders and reduced its interest-bearing debt. | ||||
On April 15, 2015, Nokia continued its transformation with the announcement that it had signed an agreement to acquire Alcatel Lucent through the Exchange Offer on the basis of 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share. In conjunction with this announcement, Nokia announced that it has suspended its capital structure optimization program effective immediately. On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell HERE to an automotive industry consortium and estimates that it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a planned EUR 7 billion program to optimize Nokias capital structure and return excess capital to shareholders, subject to the closing of the Alcatel Lucent and HERE transactions, as well as the conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel Lucent convertible bonds. |

On June 19, 2013, Alcatel Lucent announced the Shift Plan, a detailed three-year plan to transform itself into a specialist provider of IP and Cloud Networking and Ultra-Broadband Access. As part of this process, effective from July 1, 2013, Alcatel Lucent implemented a new organization composed of three reportable segments: Core Networking, Access and Other.
The Shift Plan has targeted investments in Core Networking businesses (including IP Routing, IP Transport, IP Platforms and associates services), increasing segment operating cash flow from the Access segment, and technological partnerships. The Shift Plan has also focused on market diversification and rightsizing Alcatel Lucents cost structure. In particular, the Shift Plan aims to reduce Alcatel Lucents fixed-cost base by EUR 950 million in 2015 compared to its 2012 cost base. Alcatel Lucent has stated that it expects that the cumulative amount of restructuring cash outlays pursuant to the Shift Plan should be approximately EUR 1.8 billion, of which approximately EUR 1.4 billion will be incurred between 2013 and 2015, with the remainder in 2016.
In addition, Alcatel Lucent has completed multiple dispositions as part of the Shift Plan and re-profiled and reduced the financial debt of the company. | ||||

| rationalization of regional and sales organizations; |
| rationalization of overhead, particularly within manufacturing, supply-chain, real estate and information technology; |
| reduction of central function and public company costs; and |
| procurement efficiencies, given the combined companys expanded purchasing power. |
The operating cost synergies are expected to create a structural cost advantage and foster a corporate culture that emphasizes execution excellence. This strong foundation would enable the long-term investments that are essential to achieve the Combined Companys strategic objectives, serve the changing needs of customers and lead the next wave of technological change in the industry.
The Combined Company would also target approximately EUR 200 million of reductions in interest expenses to be achieved on a full-year basis in 2017. The transaction is expected to be accretive to Nokia earnings on a non-IFRS basis (excluding restructuring charges and amortization of intangibles) in 2017.

The following two sections are added after the section The Alcatel Lucent TransactionOpinion of the Financial Advisor to the Alcatel Lucent Board of Directors on pages 144145 of the Listing Prospectus.
Report of Independent Financial Expert
Prior to making its determination and recommendation at the meeting of October 28, 2015, Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors received the independent expert report of the independent expert, Associés en Finance, in accordance with Article 261-1 et seq. of the AMF General Regulation, including the independent experts opinion (attestation déquité), dated as of October 28, 2015, stating that, as of the date of the independent expert report and based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and other considerations set forth therein, the independent expert concluded that the terms of the Exchange Offer by Nokia for Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs are fair. An unofficial English translation of the full text of the independent
24
expert report of the independent expert, Associés en Finance, dated October 28, 2015, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the independent expert report, is included in Alcatel Lucents Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 which will be made available on Nokias website at http://company.nokia.com/en/investors/financial-reports/filings-related-to-the-Alcatel-Lucent-transaction.
Intent to Tender
According to Alcatel Lucents Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 and Alcatel Lucents French response document, and subject to the paragraph below, each member of Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors (Mr. Philippe Camus, Mr. Francesco Caio, Ms. Carla Cico, Mr. Stuart E. Eizenstat, Ms. Kim Crawford Goodman, Mr. Louis R. Hughes, Mr. Jean C. Monty, Mr. Olivier Piou, Mr. Jean-Cyril Spinetta and Ms. Sylvia Summers) confirmed in the meeting of Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors on October 28, 2015 that, within the limit provided by Article 12 of the By-Laws of Alcatel Lucent (i.e., each member shall retain 500 Alcatel Lucent Shares), he or she intends to validly tender or cause to be validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer all Alcatel Lucent Securities held of record or beneficially owned by such director immediately prior to the Expiration Date (other than Alcatel Lucent Securities for which such holder does not have discretionary authority). In addition, the 2010 Annual General Meeting of Alcatel Lucent Shareholders authorized the payment of additional attendance fees (jetons de présence) to directors, subject to each director (i) using the additional fees received (after taxes) to purchase Alcatel Lucent Shares and (ii) holding the acquired Alcatel Lucent Shares for the duration of his or her term of office. As a result, each member of Alcatel Lucents Board confirmed that he or she will hold any Alcatel Lucent Shares purchased with these additional fees for so long as he or she remains a director of Alcatel Lucent and any such restrictions remain applicable.
The terms of Alcatel Lucents Performance Shares plans and related decisions of Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors require that Mr. Philippe Camus continues to hold the Alcatel Lucent Shares granted in connection therewith and the Alcatel Lucent Shares purchased in connection therewith for so long as he remains the Chairman of Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors. Mr. Camus is also required to continue to hold any Alcatel Lucent Shares acquired during his term for so long as he remains in office. As a result, Mr. Camus confirmed that he will not be allowed to tender the Shares he holds into the Exchange Offer, given that and for as long as these undertakings to hold the Alcatel Lucent Shares he holds are enforceable.
The foregoing does not include any Alcatel Lucent Securities over which, or with respect to which, any director acts in a fiduciary or representative capacity or is subject to the instructions of a third party with respect to such tender.
Nokia understands that Alcatel Lucent has been informed that, as of the date of this supplement, each executive officer (other than Mr. Camus whose intentions are described above) intends to tender the Alcatel Lucent Securities that he or she holds into the Exchange Offer, subject to any statutory, regulatory or other constraints that may apply.
For the number of Alcatel Lucent Securities held by executive officers and directors as of October 27, 2015, refer to the section Board of Directors, Management and AuditorsAlcatel LucentManagement Holdings.
Certain employee holdings of Alcatel Lucent Shares are managed collectively through the FCP 2AL Mutual Fund (Fonds Commun de Placement Actionnariat Alcatel Lucent) (FCP 2AL). FCP 2AL is a special mutual fund (Fonds Commun de Placement dEntreprise) put in place for the implementation of the incentive agreements and the corporate savings plans, entered into between the companies of the Alcatel Lucent group and their employees. FCP 2AL is categorized as a mutual fund invested in listed securities of the company (FCPE investi en titres cotés de lentreprise). FCP 2ALs management objective is to enable the unit holders to participate in Alcatel Lucents development by investing a minimum of 95% of assets managed by FCP 2AL in Alcatel Lucent Shares, the remainder being invested in Euro monetary UCITS (OPCVM Monétaire Euro) and/or liquid instruments. FCP 2ALs performance mirrors the performance of the Alcatel Lucent Shares both upwards and downwards.
25
The mutual fund supervisory board (conseil de surveillance du Fonds Commun de Placement Actionnariat) of FCP 2AL, which held 1.16% of Alcatel Lucents share capital and 2.30% of voting rights of Alcatel Lucent as of June 30, 2015, will decide whether or not to tender the Alcatel Lucent Shares it holds. It will announce such determination in a press release. If such Alcatel Lucent Shares are tendered into the Exchange Offer, the supervisory board of FCP 2AL will amend the rules of the fund, subject to approval of these amendments by the AMF, in order to substitute any reference in the plan to Alcatel Lucent by Nokia.
Alcatel Lucent will and will cause each of its subsidiaries to tender into the Exchange Offer all Alcatel Lucent Securities held by Alcatel Lucent or any of its subsidiaries as of November 18, 2015, the expected date of the opening of the Exchange Offer, other than those Alcatel Lucent Securities (i) to be granted in lieu of accelerated Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares and (ii) to be granted pursuant to the 2015 Performance Share Plan.
As of October 31, 2015, the last practicable day before the opening of the Exchange Offer, Alcatel Lucent and its subsidiaries held 40 115 700 Alcatel Lucent Shares in treasury, of which (i) 18 307 676 Alcatel Lucent Shares were reserved to be granted in lieu of accelerated Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares and (ii) 3 513 332 Alcatel Lucent Shares were reserved to be granted in lieu of the Alcatel Lucent Stock Option plan that the Alcatel Lucent Board of Directors had considered granting in respect of the year ended December 31, 2015.
For further information on the undertaking to tender accelerated Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance Shares, refer to the section The Memorandum of UnderstandingAdditional Exchange Mechanisms.

The first paragraph of the section The Alcatel Lucent TransactionIntentions of Nokia over the Next Twelve MonthsSqueeze-out on pages 149150 of the Listing Prospectus is replaced with the paragraphs set out below.
Nokia intends to request from the AMF, within three months of the expiration of the French Offer period or the subsequent offering period, if any, the implementation of a squeeze-out in order to transfer to Nokia the remaining outstanding Alcatel Lucent Shares (excluding Alcatel Lucent treasury shares) and/or any OCEANEs not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or the subsequent offering period, if any) if the Conditions are satisfied.
The implementation of a squeeze-out concerning the Alcatel Lucent Shares not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or, as the case may be, the subsequent offering period) (excluding Alcatel Lucent treasury shares) will be possible if the Alcatel Lucent Shares not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or, as the case may be,
26
the subsequent offering period) by minority shareholders (excluding Alcatel Lucent Shares held in treasury) represent not more than 5% of the shares or of the voting rights of Alcatel Lucent, in accordance with the AMF General Regulation. The squeeze-out will concern in particular the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares subject to a holding period and which would not have been tendered into the Exchange Offer or subsequent offering period, if any.
The implementation of a squeeze-out concerning the OCEANEs not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or the subsequent offering period, if any) will be possible if the Alcatel Lucent Shares not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or the subsequent offering period, if any) held by minority shareholders (excluding Alcatel Lucent Shares held in treasury) and the Alcatel Lucent Shares which may be issued following the conversion of the OCEANEs not tendered into the Exchange Offer (or, as the case may be, the subsequent offering period), represent no more than 5% of the sum of all existing Alcatel Lucent Shares and of the Alcatel Lucent Shares which may be created following the conversion of OCEANEs, in accordance with the provisions of the AMF General Regulation.
Supplements to the section The Exchange Offer
The section The Exchange OfferCertain Consequences of the Exchange OfferDelisting of Alcatel Lucent Securities on page 172 of the Listing Prospectus is amended to read as set out below.
Delisting of Alcatel Lucent Securities
As promptly as practicable after Completion of the Exchange Offer, or if applicable, after the completion of the subsequent offering period, Nokia intends, (i) subject to applicable law and securities exchange regulations, to request from Euronext Paris the delisting of the Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs from the regulated market of Euronext Paris and (ii) seek to delist the Alcatel Lucent ADSs from the NYSE and, subject to applicable law, to deregister the Alcatel Lucent Shares and Alcatel Lucent ADSs under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
A delisting from Euronext Paris may occur in accordance with the Euronext Paris rules, following a simplified public tender offer, if (i) Nokia holds at least 90% of the voting rights of Alcatel Lucent as of the filing date of the delisting application, (ii) the total value traded on Alcatel Lucent Shares over the last twelve (calendar) months before the filing of the delisting application represents less than 0.5% of Alcatel Lucents market capitalization, (iii) the filing of the application is made after a delay of 180 (calendar) days has elapsed between the Exchange Offer and the simplified public tender offer, (iv) Nokia undertakes, for a period of three months following the end of the delisting offer, to acquire at the same price as such simplified public tender offer the Alcatel Lucent Shares of remaining shareholders who have not tendered them into such offer, and (v) Nokia undertakes for a transitional period of one financial year following the year when delisting takes place to publish any crossing up above or below the 95% threshold of the share capital or voting rights of Alcatel Lucent, and to submit no proposal to the General Meeting of Alcatel Lucents Shareholders to amend the corporate form to become a simplified joint stock company (société par actions simplifiée).
Pursuant to Articles 6905/1 et. seq. of the Euronext Rule Book, Euronext Paris may delist shares listed on its markets upon a written request of the issuer, which must indicate the reasons of such request. Euronext Paris may decide not to proceed with the delisting of the shares as requested by the issuer if such a delisting affects the equitable, organized and efficient functioning of the market. Euronext Paris may also subject the delisting of the Alcatel Lucent Shares to any additional conditions which it deems appropriate.
The following section is added after the section The Exchange OfferMatters Relevant for Holders of OCEANEsEarly Redemption of a Series of OCEANEs If the Outstanding OECANEs of Such Series Represent Less Than 15% of the Issued OCEANEs of any Such Series on page 176 of the Listing Prospectus.
27
Payment of interest with respect to the 2018 OCEANEs
Holders of the 2018 OCEANEs are reminded that the next interest with respect to the 2018 OCEANEs will occur on January 4, 2016 and will be paid to the holders of record of the 2018 OCEANEs on December 31, 2015. Since the Exchange Offer is not expected to complete until after December 31, 2015, Nokia would not become a holder of record of the 2018 OCEANEs until after the record date for the next interest payment. Accordingly, Nokia understands that the next interest payment with respect to the 2018 OCEANEs will be made by Alcatel Lucent to the record holders of the 2018 OCEANEs on December 31, 2015 whether or not they have tendered their 2018 OCEANEs into the Exchange Offer.
The section The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares is amended to read as set out below.
Treatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares
Alcatel Lucent Stock Options
Alcatel Lucent has granted Alcatel Lucent Stock Options within the framework of several plans during 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the main features of which are set out on pages A-122 to A-132 of Annex A of the Listing Prospectus. For the 2014 financial year, Nokia and Alcatel Lucent agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding that the allocation of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options would be replaced by the allocation of Alcatel Lucent Shares.
The holders of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options who wish to tender the Alcatel Lucent Shares to which such Alcatel Lucent Stock Options give them rights in the Exchange Offer need to exercise their Alcatel Lucent Stock Options sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date, or expiration date of any subsequent offering period in order for the underlying Alcatel Lucent Shares to be issued and tendered into the Exchange Offer prior to the Expiration Date, or during the subsequent offering period, if any.
As far as Nokia is aware, as of October 31, 2015, there were 81 040 440 Alcatel Lucent Stock Options outstanding, of which 67 452 250 were vested and exercisable.
Alcatel Lucent will offer to holders of unvested Alcatel Lucent Stock Options granted prior to April 15, 2015 (13 588 190 Alcatel Lucent Stock Options as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge), an option to accelerate their Alcatel Lucent Stock Options subject to the Completion of the Exchange Offer, the beneficiaries having satisfied the presence condition on the Expiration Date and the beneficiaries having undertaken to exercise their accelerated Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and all vested Alcatel Lucent Stock Options held by them (except, as the case may be, those that are subject to a tax lock-up period provided by French or Belgian laws) and to sell their Alcatel Lucent Shares resulting from the exercise of the Alcatel Lucent Stock Options in the market no later than two French trading days before the last day of the subsequent offering period or, in case there is no subsequent offering period, before the squeeze-out.
The holders will be released from their commitment to exercise the Alcatel Stock Options and sell the resulting Alcatel Lucent Shares if the sum of the exercise price of these Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and the costs and expenses relating to the exercise and sale is higher than the sale price of the resulting Alcatel Lucent Shares. Upon accepting the acceleration mechanism, these beneficiaries will irrevocably accept the terms and conditions of the liquidity agreement described in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism with respect to the Alcatel Lucent Stock Options not exercised pursuant to the preceding sentence. Likewise, holders will also irrevocably accept the terms and conditions of the liquidity mechanism described in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism with respect to the Alcatel Lucent Stock Options subject to a tax lock-up period provided by French or Belgian law, unless they opted for an acceleration agreement which covers such Alcatel Lucent Stock Options.
28
In certain jurisdictions, the mechanisms described above may be adjusted to comply with possible applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints.
For the beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options who do not accept such acceleration, the terms and conditions of their Alcatel Lucent Stock Options will remain unchanged, including presence conditions and, as the case may be, performance conditions. Some of these holders may furthermore benefit from a liquidity mechanism, under certain conditions and insofar the applicable regulations allow it (see The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism).
Nokia understands that Alcatel Lucent had considered issuing, and ultimately did not issue, Alcatel Lucent Stock Options to its employees with respect to the 2014 financial year. As a replacement for these Alcatel Lucent Stock Options, Alcatel Lucent will provide the holders the opportunity to receive Alcatel Lucent Shares (a maximum total number of 3 507 185 as of October 31, 2015) according to the ratio of one Alcatel Lucent Share per two Alcatel Lucent Stock Options. This grant of Alcatel Lucent Shares will be subject to the Completion of the Exchange Offer, the holders having satisfied the presence condition on the Expiration Date and the beneficiaries having undertaken to sell the Alcatel Lucent Shares on the market no later than two French trading days before the last day of the subsequent offering period.
In certain jurisdictions, the mechanisms described above may be adjusted to comply with possible applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints.
Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares
Alcatel Lucent has granted to its employees Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares within the framework of several plans during 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the main features of which are set out on pages A-122 to A-132 of Annex A of the Listing Prospectus. Issuance of additional Performance Shares was decided on July 29, 2015.
To Nokias knowledge, as of October 31, 2015, there are 28 188 080 unvested Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares and 2 506 385 vested Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares that remain subject to a holding period which is not expected to expire prior to the Expiration Date.
Alcatel Lucent will offer to holders of the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares granted before the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding, namely on April 15, 2015, and still subject to a vesting period (18 217 530 Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge), an option to waive their rights under the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares plans in exchange for an indemnity payable in unrestricted Alcatel Lucent Shares and subject to the Completion of the Exchange Offer, the beneficiaries having satisfied the presence condition on the Expiration Date and the beneficiaries having undertaken to sell the Alcatel Lucent Shares thus received on the market no later than two French trading days before the last day of the subsequent offering period.
In certain jurisdictions, the mechanisms described above may be adjusted to comply with possible applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints.
The terms and conditions of the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares held by beneficiaries who do not accept such a waiver, will remain unchanged, including the presence or performance conditions, it being understood however that the Alcatel Lucent Board of Directors decided, concerning the performance conditions, to amend them, in case of a Reduced Liquidity (as defined in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism), in order to replace the stock market price of Alcatel Lucent by the stock market price of Nokia as reference stock market price and adjust the reference representative sample. In addition, certain holders may benefit from a liquidity mechanism, under certain conditions and insofar it is allowed by the applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints (see The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism).
29
With respect to the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares subject to a vesting period and granted after April 15, 2015, the underlying beneficiaries will benefit from a liquidity mechanism, under certain conditions and insofar it is allowed by the applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints (see The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism).
With respect to the vested Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares of beneficiaries who are French tax residents but subject to a holding period, the underlying beneficiaries may tender their Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares into the Exchange Offer, in spite of legal lock-up period. Article L. 225-197-1(III) of the French Commercial Code provides that in an exchange without cash consideration of free shares during the holding period in a public exchange offer, the remaining holding period remains applicable to the shares issued as consideration in the context of the Exchange Offer (see The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesLiquidity Mechanism). Thus, Nokia Shares received in exchange will be subject to the remaining holding period.
Liquidity Mechanism
Liquidity Offered to Holders of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares Allocated before 2015
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, Nokia will propose a liquidity agreement to the French tax residents who are beneficiaries of the following plans, as a result of tax constraints to which they are subject:
| Alcatel Lucent Performance Share Plans No. A0914RUROW and No. A0914RPROW dated September 15, 2014, namely, a maximum number of 1 796 429 Alcatel Lucent Shares as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge; |
| Alcatel Lucent Stock Options Plan No. A0812NHFR2 dated August 13, 2012, namely, a maximum number of 26 420 Alcatel Lucent Shares as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge; |
| Alcatel Lucent Stock Options Plan No. A0312COFR2, No. A0312CPFR2, and No. A0312NHFR2 dated March 14, 2012, namely, a maximum number of 1 474 681 Alcatel Lucent Shares as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge. |
This liquidity agreement will also be offered to Belgian tax residents who are beneficiaries of the following plan, provided that they opted for the taxation at the grant on a reduced basis of these Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and that they committed to hold these Alcatel Lucent Stock Options:
| Alcatel Lucent Stock Options Plan No. A0713COBE2 dated July 12, 2013, namely, a maximum number of 170 637 Alcatel Lucent Shares as of October 31, 2015, to Nokias knowledge. |
Pursuant to this liquidity agreement, if the market of the Alcatel Lucent Shares does not have sufficient liquidity, in particular in case of (i) delisting of the Alcatel Lucent Shares, (ii) holding by Nokia of more than 85% of the Alcatel Lucent Shares or (iii) average daily trading volume of Alcatel Lucent Shares on Euronext Paris falling below 5 000 000 Alcatel Lucent Shares for 20 consecutive French trading days (any such event, a Reduced Liquidity), the Alcatel Lucent Shares received by holders of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options will automatically be exchanged for Nokia Shares, or for a cash consideration equal to the market value of such Nokia Shares, upon exercise of these Alcatel Lucent Stock Options after expiration of the applicable lock-up period. This liquidity agreement also provides that the relevant Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares would be automatically exchanged by Nokia into Nokia Shares, or for cash consideration equal to the market value of such Nokia Shares, shortly after the expiration the lock-up period.
30
The exchange ratio to be offered in liquidity agreements would be consistent with the exchange ratio of the Exchange Offer, subject to certain adjustments, in case of certain financial transactions of Nokia or Alcatel Lucent, in order for the holders of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares to be able to obtain the same value in Nokia Shares or in cash that they would have obtained if such a transaction had not taken place.
In addition, a liquidity agreement will be proposed with respects to (i) the vested Alcatel Lucent Stock Options not covered by the selling undertaking described in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesAlcatel Lucent Stock Options where the sum of the exercise price and the costs and expenses relating to this exercise will represent more than 90% of the Alcatel Lucent Share price as of the closing of the last day of the subsequent offering period on Euronext Paris and (ii) the unvested and vested Alcatel Lucent Stock Options to be subject to a liquidity agreement as described in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesAlcatel Lucent Stock Options of the Listing Prospectus. This liquidity agreement will be settled as described above, either in Nokia Shares or for cash consideration equal to the market value of such Nokia Shares.
The liquidity agreement referred to in The Exchange OfferTreatment of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and Performance SharesAlcatel Lucent Stock Options of the Listing Prospectus concerning the beneficiaries who make the choice of the acceleration will be accepted by these holders at the same time as the acceleration agreement.
In certain jurisdictions, the mechanisms described above may be adjusted to comply with possible applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints.
Liquidity offered to holders of Alcatel Lucent Stock Options and beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares allocated in 2015
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, Nokia and Alcatel Lucent have agreed to enter into a liquidity agreement with all beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares granted after April 15, 2015, pursuant to which, in case of a Reduced Liquidity at the date of expiration of the applicable vesting period, all Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares, representing, to the knowledge of Nokia, a maximum of 9 970 550 Alcatel Lucent Shares as of October 31, 2015 would be automatically exchanged by Nokia for Nokia Shares, or for a cash consideration equal to the market value of the Nokia Shares, shortly after the end of the vesting period.
The exchange ratio to be offered in liquidity agreements would be consistent with the exchange ratio of the Exchange Offer, subject to certain adjustments, in case of financial transactions of Nokia or Alcatel Lucent, in order for the beneficiaries of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares to be able to obtain the same value in Nokia Shares that they would have obtained if such a transaction had not taken place.
In certain jurisdictions, the mechanisms described above may be adjusted to comply with possible applicable legal, regulatory or other local constraints.

Supplements to the section Board of Directors, Management and Auditors
The following paragraph and table are added to the section Board of Directors, Management and AuditorsAlcatel LucentManagement Holdings on page 311 of the Listing Prospectus.
The following table sets forth as of October 27, 2015, the latest practicable date before the determination and recommendation by Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors in respect of the Exchange Offer, the approximate aggregate amount of consideration that Alcatel Lucents executive officers and directors as of that date would be entitled to receive in connection with the Completion of the Exchange Offer, assuming that such executive officers and directors (1) validly tender all Shares and ADSs held by them pursuant to the Exchange Offer, (2) exercise all Stock Alcatel Lucent Stock Options held by them for Alcatel Lucent Shares and validly tender such Alcatel Lucent Shares into the Exchange Offer, (3) exchange all Performance Shares held by them (other than Performance Shares granted pursuant to the 2015 Performance Share Plan, which will not be accelerated in connection with the Exchange Offer and will remain subject to presence and performance conditions) for Alcatel Lucent Shares and validly tender such Alcatel Lucent Shares into the Exchange Offer and (4) receive cash compensation in respect of all performance units granted to them. Unless otherwise indicated, estimated values are calculated based on the closing price of the Nokia Shares as of October 27, 2015 of EUR 5.95 and the exchange ratio of 0.5500, resulting in an implied value of EUR 3.27 per Alcatel Lucent Share.

On October 8, 2015, Nokia announced that it had decided to exercise its option to redeem its EUR 750 million Convertible Bond due in 2017 on November 26, 2015. On November 11, 2015 a total of 275 899 571 new Nokia Shares have been registered with the Trade Register. The shares were subscribed for by using the conversion right pertaining to Nokias EUR 750 million Convertible Bond. The conversion amount, EUR 659.4 million is recorded into the reserve for invested non-restricted equity, hence, the share capital of the Company will not increase. After this registration, the outstanding nominal value of the bonds, EUR 90.4 million is convertible into maximum of 37 824 267 new Nokia Shares. The pro forma column above has not been adjusted for the impact of this decision of early redemption of the Convertible Bond. Refer to the section Shares and Share Capital of NokiaOther Special Rights Entitling to SharesConvertible Bond for more information about the Convertible Bond.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables set forth selected consolidated financial information for Nokia. This information is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, Nokias consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the unaudited interim report for the nine months ended on September 30, 2015, all of which are incorporated by reference into this Listing Prospectus. The selected consolidated historical income statement and statement of cash flow data for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated statement of financial position data as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been derived from Nokias audited consolidated financial statements for the respective years, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The selected consolidated historical income statement and statement of cash flow data for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2015 have been derived from Nokias unaudited interim report for the nine months ended on September 30, 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRS.*
In September 2013, Nokia announced the sale of substantially all of its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft. Subsequent to the approval for the sale received in the Extraordinary General Meeting in November 2013, Nokia Group has presented Devices & Services Business as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on April 25, 2014. In the consolidated income statement for the year 2013 the financial results of the Devices & Services Business were reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the year 2012 were restated accordingly. As of January 1, 2013 Nokia adopted new revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard. As a result, the net pension liabilities and other comprehensive income were impacted mainly by the retrospectively applied elimination of the corridor approach and financial information for the year 2012 were adjusted accordingly. Thus, the restated information for the year 2012 presented in the following tables is unaudited.
On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell its HERE digital mapping and location services business to a consortium of leading automotive companies, comprising AUDI AG, BMW Group and Daimler AG. In the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 HERE, has been reported as discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. The income statement information for the comparative nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and for the year 2014 were restated accordingly. Thus, the restated consolidated income statement information for the year 2014 presented in the following table is unaudited. HERE has been reported as part of Nokias continuing operations in the consolidated financial information for the financial years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.*

Significant Change in Financial Condition or Operating Results
In November 2011, Nokia Networks announced its strategy to focus on mobile broadband and services. It also announced an extensive global restructuring program that ultimately resulted in the reduction of its annualized operating expenses and production overhead by over EUR 1.5 billion when the program was completed at the end of 2013. As part of its strategy of focusing on mobile broadband, Nokia Networks also divested a number of non-core businesses.
41
Beginning in 2013, Nokia undertook a series of transactions to transform its business portfolio. On July 1, 2013, Nokia announced the agreement to acquire Siemens 50% stake in the companies joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks. The purchase price was EUR 1.7 billion and the transaction closed on August 7, 2013. On September 3, 2013, Nokia announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its Devices & Services Business to Microsoft for a total purchase price of EUR 5.44 billion, of which EUR 3.79 billion related to the Sale of the Devices & Services Business and EUR 1.65 billion related to a mutual patent license agreement. In conjunction with the transaction, Nokia established the Nokia Technologies business to focus on technology development and intellectual property rights activities. The transaction significantly strengthened the Companys financial position and subsequent to the transaction, in 2014, Nokia started the optimization of its capital structure and recommenced dividend payments, distributed excess capital to shareholders and reduced its interest-bearing debt.
On April 15, 2015, Nokia continued its transformation with the announcement that it had signed an agreement to acquire Alcatel Lucent through the Exchange Offer on the basis of 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share. In conjunction with this announcement, Nokia announced that it has suspended its capital structure optimization program effective immediately. On August 3, 2015, Nokia announced an agreement to sell HERE to an automotive industry consortium and estimates that it will receive net proceeds of slightly above EUR 2.5 billion. On October 29, 2015, Nokia announced a planned EUR 7 billion program to optimize Nokias capital structure and return excess capital to shareholders, subject to the closing of the Alcatel Lucent and HERE transactions, as well as the conversion of all Nokia and Alcatel Lucent convertible bonds.*
Sufficiency of Working Capital
In the opinion of Nokias management, the working capital available to Nokia is sufficient to cover its present needs for the next 12 months following the date of this Listing Prospectus.
In order to evaluate Nokias working capital needs after the Acquisition, Nokia has prepared financial projections assuming the combination of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent and excluding the HERE business. Based on these financial projections, Nokia anticipates that the combination of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent will not adversely impact the sufficiency of working capital for the Combined Company.

Alcatel Lucent
Shareholders and potential investors should note that all of the information concerning Alcatel Lucent presented in the Listing Prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and in particular in Annex A, is solely based on publicly available information of Alcatel Lucent included in Alcatel Lucent Annual Report and Alcatel Lucent Interim Report Alcatel Lucent has filed with the SEC, as well as the Alcatel Lucent Q3 Interim Report. Nokia confirms that this information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as Nokia is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by Alcatel Lucent, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.*
Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information for Alcatel Lucent
For information about Alcatel Lucents selected historical consolidated financial information, refer to the sections Alcatel Lucent consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014 of the Alcatel Lucent Annual Report on pages A-197 to A-201 of Annex A and Alcatel Lucent Q3 Interim Report which is hereby incorporated by reference into the Listing Prospectus.*
Significant Change in the Financial Condition or Operating Results
On June 19, 2013, Alcatel Lucent announced the Shift Plan, a detailed three-year plan to transform itself into a specialist provider of IP and Cloud Networking and Ultra-Broadband Access. As part of this process, effective from July 1, 2013, Alcatel Lucent implemented a new organization composed of three reportable segments: Core Networking, Access and Other.
The Shift Plan has targeted investments in Core Networking businesses (including IP Routing, IP Transport, IP Platforms and associates services), increasing segment operating cash flow from the Access segment, and technological partnerships. The Shift Plan has also focused on market diversification and rightsizing Alcatel Lucents cost structure. In particular, the Shift Plan aims to reduce Alcatel Lucents fixed-cost base by EUR 950 million in 2015 compared to its 2012 cost base. Alcatel Lucent has stated that it expects that the cumulative amount of restructuring cash outlays pursuant to the Shift Plan should be approximately EUR 1.8 billion, of which approximately EUR 1.4 billion will be incurred between 2013 and 2015, with the remainder in 2016.
In addition, Alcatel Lucent has completed multiple dispositions as part of the Shift Plan and re-profiled and reduced the financial debt of the company.

Annex E Amendment agreement of the Memorandum of Understanding, dated October 28, 2015 |
AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This AMENDMENT AGREEMENT (this Amendment), dated as of October 28, 2015, is made and entered into by and between Nokia Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Finland (Nokia) and Alcatel Lucent, a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (the Company) and amends the Memorandum of Understanding entered into by the same parties on April 15, 2015 (the MoU) and the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in the MoU). Nokia and the Company are each sometimes referred to individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties.
WHEREAS:
(A) | The Parties desire to amend the MoU and the Company Disclosure Letter; and |
(B) | Section 9.2 of the MoU permits amendments to the MoU by an agreement in writing signed by both Parties. |
IT IS AGREED as follows:
1. | INTERPRETATION |
1.1 | Unless the context indicates otherwise, capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meaning ascribed to them in the MoU. |
1.2 | The headings in this Amendment do not affect its interpretation. |
2. | AMENDMENTS TO THE MOU AND COMPANY DISCLOSURE LETTER |
The Parties hereby agree that the MoU and the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the following:
2.1 | The first three paragraphs of Section 1.1 (Company Share Plans) of the Company Disclosure Letter are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following: |
In lieu of the Company Share Plan relating to Company Share Options promised to employees in 2014 and not granted, the Company shall grant to the same beneficiaries Company Shares delivered out of Company Shares held in treasury by the Company or its Subsidiaries (the Unrestricted Company Share Grant), provided that, subject to compliance with applicable Law, and unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the relevant beneficiary of the Unrestricted Company Share Grant shall undertake to tender such Company Shares into the subsequent offering for the French Offer in accordance with Article 232-4 of the AMF General Regulation or for the U.S. Offer (collectively, the Subsequent Offering) or, if available, undertake to sell such Company Shares pursuant to the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure (as defined below). The conversion shall be made on a ratio of 1 Company Share for 2 Company Share Options which were promised in 2014. The number of Company Shares to be delivered pursuant to the Unrestricted Company Share Grant will represent an aggregate amount of approximately 3.8 million Company Shares. Such Company Shares will be delivered on a date agreed by the Parties which will be during the Subsequent Offering period (the Acceleration Date), subject to the condition that the relevant beneficiary remains employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries until the expiration date of the initial period of the Offers.
The Company shall also grant Company Performance Shares pursuant to a Company Share Plan in respect of the financial year 2015 based on the principles established in 2014 except that Company Share Options shall be replaced by Company Performance Shares and in an aggregate amount of no more than 10.0 million Company Performance Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Board decided to grant such Company Performance Shares on July 29, 2015, but the grant will occur prior to the Acceleration Date).
E-1
On April 14, 2015 and October 28, 2015, the Company Board resolved to (i) accelerate or waive any vesting periods, vesting conditions, performance conditions, presence conditions and Lock-Up Periods of all Company Share Plans relating to Company Share Options and applicable award agreements, in each case in effect as of the date hereof, such acceleration to be effective on the Acceleration Date and (ii) amend the terms and conditions of such Company Share Plans relating to Company Share Options and applicable award agreements, as necessary, in order to permit the holders of the Company Share Options to elect to exercise their Company Share Options as of the Acceleration Date and until the expiration date of the Subsequent Offering, provided that, subject to compliance with applicable Law and unless agreed otherwise by the Parties, the relevant beneficiary shall undertake to exercise their accelerated Company Share Options, together with their vested Company Share Options except, as the case may be, those which are subject to a Lock-Up Period under French or Belgian laws as defined in the second paragraph of Section 2.5.1 (Company Share Options) of the MoU (collectively, the Subject Company Share Options), on a cashless basis and tender the Company Shares resulting from the exercise of the Subject Company Share Options into the Subsequent Offering or, if available, undertake to sell the resulting Company Shares pursuant to the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure (as defined below) not later than on the second French trading day before the last trading day of the Subsequent Offering Period. Nevertheless, the beneficiaries will be released from their undertaking to exercise the Subject Company Share Options and to tender or, if the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure applies, sell the Company Shares resulting from the exercise in the event the sum of the exercise price for such Subject Company Share Options and applicable fees and expenses exceeds either 0.55 x the Nokia Share value on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. or, if the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure applies, the Sale Price (the Exempted Subject Company Share Options). The Company shall provide the amount of applicable fees and expenses to Nokia and to each beneficiary upon request therefrom. The Company shall procure that such beneficiaries will irrevocably accept to be bound by the terms and conditions of the liquidity agreement pursuant to which the Company Shares resulting from any exercise of their Exempted Subject Company Share Options will be exchanged for Nokia Shares or cash, at Nokias discretion. Also, the Company shall procure that such beneficiaries will irrevocably accept to be bound by the terms and conditions of such liquidity agreement with respect to their Company Share Options subject to a Lock-Up Period under French or Belgian law, except if they specifically opted for the acceleration for such Company Share Options.
Nokia and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to establish an Equity Awards Settlement Procedure permitting all relevant employees of the Company, wherever located, to benefit equally from the acceleration of the Company Share Options, the grant of Company Shares upon waiver of Company Performance Shares and the grant of Company Shares pursuant to the Unrestricted Company Share Grant, in each case, on the Acceleration Date and in the context of the Offers. The Equity Awards Settlement Procedure shall reflect the following:
| the Company shall engage a third party financial intermediary; |
| the third party financial intermediary shall agree to (a) purchase (i) all Company Shares resulting from the exercise of the Subject Company Share Options (which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, both accelerated and vested Company Share Options, as described above), (ii) all Company Shares granted upon waiver of Company Performance Shares and (iii) all Company Shares granted pursuant to the Unrestricted Company Share Grant and (b) tender all such Company Shares into the Subsequent Offering; |
| the relevant employee beneficiaries electing to participate in the Equity Award Settlement Procedure shall (a) exercise all of their Subject Company Share Options, except for the Exempted Subject Company Share Options, on a cashless basis and (b) authorize the Company to instruct the plan administrator to sell to the third party financial intermediary on behalf of such beneficiary, over a number of days to be agreed by the Company and Nokia |
E-2
between the Acceleration Date and the expiration date of the Subsequent Offering, (i) all Company Shares resulting from the exercise of the Subject Company Share Options (which shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, both accelerated and vested Company Share Options, as described above), except for the Exempted Subject Company Share Options, (ii) all Company Shares granted upon waiver of Company Performance Shares and (iii) all Company Shares granted pursuant to the Unrestricted Company Share Grant, as applicable to such beneficiary; |
| the price to be paid by the third party financial intermediary pursuant to the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure for one Company Share shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average Company Share price on Euronext Paris over [8] days preceding immediately the sale date and (ii) 0.55 x the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average Nokia Share price on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. on the same period (the Sale Price); and |
| the arrangements shall comply with all relevant regulatory and legal requirements or be authorized by the relevant authorities in each relevant jurisdiction, which have been and will be verified by the Company, and not verified independently by Nokia, and the Company shall inform Nokia promptly of the results of its study of such regulatory and legal requirements and be responsible for any adverse consequence resulting therefrom. To the extent possible, the Company or any third party advisers hired by the Company to conduct such study shall complete such study during the Offer period. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure shall be subject to agreement between Nokia and the Company, the approval of the SEC and the AMF and applicable law. In case of inability to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals in respect of the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure or if otherwise agreed by the Parties, the undertaking to tender the Company Shares resulting from the acceleration mechanisms described herein and from the Unrestricted Company Share Grant or to sell such Company Shares under the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure will not be applicable. The acceleration mechanisms and Unrestricted Company Share Grant will be offered to the beneficiaries either with the condition to sell such Company Shares at the latest on the second French trading day before the last trading day of the Subsequent Offering or without such condition, at the option of Nokia. Should any amendment to the acceleration mechanisms and/or Equity Awards Settlement Procedure described herein become necessary as a result of inability to obtain all regulatory approvals in relation thereto, Nokia and the Company agree to amend the terms of the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure in order to allow its implementation as closely as possible to the original intent of the parties and the permissible terms and conditions described above. The Parties will make a final decision on these mechanisms by 6:00 p.m. CET on Friday, October 30, 2015.
2.2 | Subject to compliance with applicable Law and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the acceleration of the Company Share Options referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2.5.1 (Company Share Options) of the MoU shall be subject to the holders of Company Share Options undertaking to tender the Company Shares issued upon the exercise of their Subject Company Share Options (except for the Exempted Subject Company Share Options) into the Subsequent Offering or, if available, undertaking to sell the Company Shares issued upon the exercise of their Subject Company Share Options (except for the Exempted Subject Company Share Options) pursuant to the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure (as described in Section 1.1 (Company Share Plan) of the Company Disclosure Letter). |
2.3 | Subject to compliance with applicable Law and unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the indemnity referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2.5.2 (Company Performance Shares) of the MoU shall be paid in Company Shares and shall be subject to the relevant beneficiaries undertaking to tender their resulting Company Shares into the Subsequent Offering or, if available, undertaking to sell their resulting Company Shares pursuant to the Equity Awards Settlement Procedure (as described in |
Section 1.1 (Company Share Plan) of the Company Disclosure Letter).
E-3
2.4 | Notwithstanding what is provided in Section 2.5.2 (Company Performance Shares) of the MoU, the Company Shares granted upon waiver of Company Performance Shares shall be payable on the Acceleration Date. |
2.5 | Notwithstanding what is provided in Section 2.5.1 (Company Share Options) of the MoU and Section 2.5.2 (Company Performance Shares) of the MoU, the satisfaction of the presence and performance conditions applicable to Company Share Options permitted to be accelerated and the grant of Company Shares upon waiver of Company Performance Shares will be assessed and taken into account until the expiration date of the initial period of the Offers. |
2.6 | If there is no Subsequent Offering as a result of the acceptance rate of the Offers exceeding the squeeze-out threshold applicable under French law, the Acceleration Date shall be deemed to occur before the squeeze-out and the Company Shares which have to be tendered into the Subsequent Offering by the beneficiaries of the Intermediary Bank will be exchanged for Nokia Shares in the squeeze-out. |
2.7 | Each of the acceleration of the Company Share Options, the grant of Company Shares upon waiver of Company Performance Shares and the grant of Company Shares pursuant to the Unrestricted Company Share Grant shall be subject to the settlement and delivery of the Offers. |
2.8 | Pursuant to Section 2.5.2 (Company Performance Shares) of the MoU, to the extent legally permitted, the Parties shall establish a liquidity mechanism, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.5.1 (Company Share Options) of the MoU, which shall be offered to (a) the holders of the Company Performance Shares which are subject to a Lock-Up Period and who have not elected to receive Company Shares upon waiver of Company Performance Shares, as described above, (b) the holders of Company Share Options which are subject to a Lock-Up Period and who have not elected to accelerate such Company Share Options, as described above, (c) the beneficiaries eligible for the grant of Performance Shares pursuant to the 2015 Performance Shares Plan, accepting the liquidity agreement being a condition to the grant, (d) the holders of vested Company Share Options that are not Subject Company Share Options for which (i) the sum of the exercise price for such Company Share Options and applicable fees and expenses is greater than (ii) 90% of the closing price of Company Shares on Euronext Paris as of the expiration date of the Subsequent Offering, and (e) the holders of Company Share Options that are mandatorily subject to a liquidity agreement under the fourth paragraph of Section 2.1 above. The liquidity mechanism applicable to the circumstances described in (d) of the preceding sentence shall be offered to the beneficiaries as soon as it is determined by the Company or by Nokia that no regulatory or legal constraint is applicable in this respect in the relevant jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the liquidity agreement shall be offered to the beneficiaries identified in this Section 2.8 as soon as reasonably practicable following the opening of the Offer period, provided that its effectiveness may be conditioned upon the subsequent confirmation that the beneficiary should indeed be offered a liquidity agreement pursuant to this Amendment, if this cannot be definitively ascertained on the date of execution of the liquidity agreement. The liquidity mechanism applicable to the circumstances described in (e) of the preceding sentence shall be accepted by the relevant beneficiaries at the same time as the acceleration agreement pursuant to which such beneficiaries undertook to exercise these Subject Company Share Options. |
2.9 | Notwithstanding what is provided in Section 1.1 (Company Share Plans) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company Board decided to modify the compensation package of Mr. Combes, former CEO of the Company, in accordance with the High Committee on Corporate Governance (Haut Comité de Gouvernement dEntreprise) recommendations and the observations of the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers, as described in the Company press release dated September 11, 2015. |

2.10 | Annex 4 (Competition Approvals) of the MoU is hereby amended by deleting South Korea from the countries listed under the third bullet point in that Annex. |
3. | NO OTHER CHANGES |
Except as described in Section 2 of this Amendment above, the MoU and the Company Disclosure Letter are unmodified and remain in full force and effect.
4. | WHOLE AGREEMENT |
The MoU (including any Annexes thereto), as amended by this Amendment, the Company Disclosure Letter, as amended by this Amendment, the Nokia Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties between the Parties, in each case whether, with respect to such matters.
5. | MISCELLANEOUS |
The provisions of Article IX of the MoU shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Amendment and are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

The Exchange Offer initiated by Nokia relates to Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs in the context of a proposed combination aimed at creating a global innovation leader in telecommunication networks equipment and services.
The exchange ratio (the Exchange Ratio) proposed by the offeror (the Offeror) 0.5500 Nokia share (ex-dividend 2014) for 1 Alcatel Lucent share(ex-dividend 2014), implying EUR 3.95 per Alcatel Lucent share on the basis of Nokias share price as of April 9, 2015 (EUR 7.18 per share). In addition, the present Offer encompasses an equivalent offer for each outstanding class of Alcatel Lucent convertible bonds: OCEANE 2018, OCEANE 2019 and OCEANE 2020.
The elements provided to assess the Exchange Ratio have been prepared by Société Générale, the presenting bank of the Offer on behalf of the Offeror. This analysis has been established on the basis of a multi-criteria analysis according to the commonly used valuation methodologies taking into account the specificities of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent, their size and their activity.
The analysis presented below has been prepared on the basis of the financial information published by the two companies or available through public sources. This information has not been subject to any independent verification by the presenting bank. Financial statements for the year 2014 disclosed by Nokia and Alcatel Lucent, on January 29, 2015 and February 6, 2015 respectively, have been used. Q1, Q2 and Q3 results published respectively on April 30, 2015, July 30, 2015 and October 29, 2015 for Nokia and on May 7, 2015, July 30, 2015, and October 29, 2015 for Alcatel Lucent have not been retained, considering the reference date used for this valuation exercise is April 9, 2015:
| April 9, 2015 is the day prior to first rumors appearing in the press and affecting both stock prices; |
| 4 days before rumors confirmed (April 14, 2015) by a joint press release which affected significantly both stock prices; and |
| 6 days before the joint announcement of the proposed transaction, together with its terms, including in particular the Exchange Ratio. |
3.1 | FINANCIALS / PRELIMINARY DATA |
3.1.1 | Financials |
Given the confidentiality of both companies business plans, the analysis relies on 2014 audited financial statements as well as on equity analysts consensus estimates for each company.
2014 financial statements for Nokia and Alcatel Lucent have been published on January 29, 2015 and February 6, 2015 respectively. Consensus forecasts are based on analysts reports published post the publication of fiscal year 2014 results for both companies, but prior to the retained reference date.
F-1
The analysis presented is based on standalone perimeters for both companies, i.e. excluding any impact resulting from the proposed transaction. In this respect, the financial impact of subsequent disposals or of potential synergies related to the combination has not been taken into account. In addition, these potential synergies would result from the combination of both businesses with no possible allocation ex-ante between each group and they would materialize post-closing and only if the transaction is successful.

3.1.2 | Enterprise value to equity value bridge |
Adjustments from enterprise value to equity value retained are based on the latest published financial statements as of December 31, 2014 available for both groups at the reference date.
In addition to gross financial debt (retained at book value) adjusted for cash and cash equivalents (net financial debt), Société Générale took into account the following non-operating balance sheet items in the bridge from EV to EqV retained at book value: minority interests, post-tax pension provisions, associates and other financial assets and specific provisions (mainly for obligations associated with retirement of fixed assets and other environmental liabilities). Note that provisions for pension obligations are adjusted by the savings related to the tax deductibility of P&L expenses related to pension liabilities.
Tax losses carry forward reserves for Alcatel Lucent and Nokia are directly reflected in our financial forecasts for both companies through an adjustment of the effective tax rate. For information purposes only, the potential tax savings related to these tax losses amount to, respectively, EUR 11.5 billion (tax credit) for Alcatel Lucent, of which EUR 1.15 billion is recognized in Alcatel Lucents balance sheet (mainly related to operations in France and in the United States) and EUR 3.2 billion for Nokia, of which EUR 0.83 billion is recognized in Nokias balance sheet.
The payment of a dividend in respect of financial year 2014 has not been included in the following calculation for Nokia since payment of a dividend had not been approved by Nokia Annual General Meeting (held on 5 May 2015) at the reference date of 9 April 2015. No dividend has been paid by Alcatel Lucent in respect of financial year 2014.

3.2.3.3 | Computation of implied exchange ratio |
Société Générale has retained the commonly used industry metric of Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) to support its indicative valuation (in line with Company reporting and analyst valuation methodologies) given the low capital intensity of the sector, the differences in accounting treatment for R&D costs and the consideration of restructuring costs for comparable companies. Société Générale has applied to each Nokia activity (Nokia Networks, HERE, and Nokia Technologies) and Alcatel Lucent EBIT forecasts the multiples of the peers related to the same period. For this analysis the multiples for 2015 and 2016 have been applied.
Société Générale has adjusted the EBIT for both Nokia and Alcatel Lucent by removing exceptional and restructuring related charges to obtain a proportional and comparable ongoing operational EBIT for both businesses. Enterprise value to equity value bridges have been adjusted accordingly.
Enterprise Values derived from this methodology are presented in the table below:

Exchange Ratios represent 16.4% and 12.2% premia to exchange ratios implied by this approach for 2015 and 2016 EBIT respectively (0.4725 and 0.4900 implied exchange ratios respectively).
The application of the multiples based on earnings per share (Price Earnings Ratio) has been excluded since the net earnings are impacted by the differences between the amortization policies, capital structures and corporate tax rates between Nokia and Alcatel Lucent. Furthermore, the net earnings include the contribution from companies accounted under the equity method, which again present different profiles for Nokia and for Alcatel Lucent. Finally, the net earnings include non-recurring items, such as the impacts of divestments and restructuring costs.
3.2.4 | Discounted cash flow approach |
This approach consists in discounting future free cash flows generated by each company, taking into account their medium to long term performance. This methodology implies modelling and discounting all future cash flows available to the shareholders and debt holders of each company.
F-9
The discounted cash flow analysis has been undertaken by the presenting bank based on Nokias and Alcatel Lucents consensus forecasts:

| 2015 and 2016 estimates for revenues, EBIT (adjusted for non-recurring items and goodwill amortization), capex and depreciations are based on analysts estimates as described above; |
| Estimates for the 2017-2020 period are derived from a linear extrapolation of 2016 projections towards normative year parameters as defined below; |
| Aggregates in normative year (2020) are based on analyst consensus estimates; |
| Estimated effective tax rates retained for Nokia and Alcatel Lucent for the period are 24% and 12% respectively. Tax rates are based on revenues breakdown by geography and reflect potential activation of tax savings for Alcatel Lucent (in France and in the United States); |
| Estimates for the change in net working capital are based on Alcatel Lucent and Nokia reported trade working capital over the past three years; |
| These cash flows are discounted at the weighted average cost of capital (also called WACC thereafter) and adopting the mid-year cash flow discounting convention; |
| Deduction of the adjusted net debt (see Section 3.1.2 of the French Offer Document) as of January 1, 2015; |
The terminal value is based on normative cash flows estimated as follows:
| Perpetual growth rate of 2.8% for Nokia and 2.0% for Alcatel Lucent based on brokers long-term estimates. Higher PGR for Nokia reflects exposure to wireless business growing more strongly than fixed-line infrastructure; |
| Normative adjusted EBIT margins based on the analysts long term assumptions: 11.3% for Nokia and 8.0% for Alcatel Lucent; |
| Normative tax rate of 24% and 29% for Nokia and Alcatel Lucent respectively based on revenue breakdown by geography (for Alcatel Lucent tax rate has been adjusted assuming zero taxation in France to reflect the significant tax losses carry forward levels); |
| Long term capital expenditures representing 1.7% of sales for Nokia and 3.7% for Alcatel Lucent in line with the long-term consensus forecasts. Difference in normative year reflects capitalization of research and development expenses at Alcatel Lucent; |
| Change in net working capital is assumed constant for both companies and is in line with the reported trade working capital (excluding exceptional items) over the past 3 years; and |
| Depreciation and amortization in line with sustaining capital expenditure in normative year respectively 1.7% of sales for Nokia and 3.7% for Alcatel Lucent. |
The cash flows have been discounted as of January 1, 2015, using a WACC of 8.6% for Nokia and 9.4% for Alcatel Lucent. These figures result from the average between the median WACC used by equity research analysts (respectively 8.8% and 9.9% for Nokia and Alcatel Lucent) and the result of an usual WACC computationfor both companies as described below:
| The retained net debt-to-equity ratio (Net Financial Debt / Total Equity) has been set at zero for both companies and reflects the net cash position reported by Nokia and Alcatel Lucent as of December 31st, 2014 (in line with industry standards); |
| Beta of 1.11 for Nokia / 1.12 for Alcatel Lucent based on average beta from the retained samples of comparable companies (source: Barra Beta); |
F-10
| Cost of capital of 8.5% for Nokia / 8.8% for Alcatel Lucent result from the weighted average risk-free rates and risk premia by 2014 revenue geographic breakdown. |
The Exchange Ratio represents a premium of 7.5% compared to the exchange ratio implied by this methodology (0.5114).
3.3 | EXCLUDED METHODOLOGIES |
3.3.1 | Comparable transaction multiples |
This approach consists in applying the average valuation multiples of a sample of recent transactions in a comparable sector.
This methodology usually encompasses issues in the selection of relevant transactions:
| The price paid for a transaction may reflect a strategic interest specific to a buyer or may include a premium reflecting industrial synergies which vary from one transaction to another; |
| The methodology depends on the quality and reliability of the information available for selected transactions (depending on the status of the companies acquiredlisted, private, subsidiaries of a groupand confidentiality level of the transactions); |
| The methodology assumes targets of the transactions selected in the sample are entirely comparable to the company being valued (in terms of size, positioning, geographical presence, growth prospects, profitability, etc.). |
This approach has been excluded due to the lack of relevant, recent and documented comparable transactions, notably in terms of profitability, growth, strategic positioning, business model or client portfolios.
3.3.2 | Net asset value approach |
Net asset value has not been retained as a relevant approach in assessing the proposed Exchange Ratio: this reference, based on a historic value of assets and liabilities4, is not relevant as it does not take into account either the actual value of the intangible assets of the two companies (market shares, client relationships, brand image, know-how, etc.) or the future performance of the group.
3.3.3 | Adjusted net asset value approach |
The adjusted net asset value is the net asset value of the group adjusted for unrealized gains and losses identified in assets, liabilities or off balance sheet commitments.
This approach, usually used for the valuation of portfolio companies with minority financial holdings has been excluded since the assets of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent are mainly majority owned operating assets.
3.3.4 | Dividend discount model approach |
This methodology, which consists in valuing the equity of a company by discounting, at the companys cost of equity capital, the projected dividends, has been excluded since it mainly relies on projected results estimates and on the payout ratio decided by company management.
As the policies related to the payment of dividends differed in the past between the two companies (note that Alcatel Lucent paid no dividend these last years), this method has been excluded.

3.5 | ASSESSMENT OF THE OFFER PRICE FOR THE OCEANES |
3.5.1 | Key terms of the OCEANEs |
The main characteristics of the OCEANEs are presented in Section 2.5 of the French Offer Document.

3.5.4 | Takeover conversion value |
Calculation of the conversion value of the OCEANEs is based on the conversion ratio (as determined in the OCEANEs termsheet): 1.06 Alcatel Lucent shares for one 2018 OCEANE and 1.00 Alcatel Lucent share for one OCEANE 2019/2020 at the expected Offer opening date on November 18 2015 (conversion ratios are rounded to two decimals, in accordance with the convertible bonds documentation). These conversion ratios are adjusted in accordance with the formula applicable in the case of a takeover bid as detailed in the OCEANEs terms (see Section 2.5.2.1 (a) of the French Offer Document). The adjusted conversion ratio is calculated as follows:
With:
| NCER is the new conversion / exchange ratio from the Offer opening date; |
| CER is the last conversion / exchange ratio in effect before the Offer opening date: 1.06 for the 2018 OCEANE and 1.00 for the 2019 and 2020 OCEANEs; |
| Bond Issue Premium: 36.8% (OCEANE 2018), 40.2% (OCEANE 2019), 37.1% (OCEANE 2020); |
| D is the exact number of days left to run between the Offer opening date (included) and the maturity date of the OCEANEs (excluded); |
| 2018 OCEANE: 1.26 = 1.06 * (1 + 36.8% * 956/1 824); |
| 2019 OCEANE: 1.28 = 1.00 * (1 + 40.2% * 1 169/1 695); |
| 2020 OCEANE: 1.28 = 1.00 * (1 + 37.1% * 1 534/2 060); |
F-13
Applying the formula described above would lead current conversion ratios to adjusted conversion ratios of 1.26 for the OCEANE 2018, 1.28 for the OCEANE 2019 and 1.28 for the OCEANE 2020. Adjusted conversion ratios imply new conversion values of EUR 4.98 per OCEANE 2018, EUR 5.05 per OCEANE 2019 and EUR 5.05 per OCEANE 2020 (based on the Exchange Ratio of 0.5500 Nokia share for one Alcatel Lucent share and Nokia share price of EUR 7.18 as of April 9, 2015).

3.5.6 | Theoretical Value |
A theoretical value for the Alcatel Lucents OCEANEs has been determined consideration each OCEANEs own terms and market data at prevailing at the time of the Offer filing.
The valuations of the various OCEANEs, presented in the table below, are based on a trinomial model and on market conditions as of the reference date. Interest rates (swap rates) are those as of the market close on the reference date (April 9, 2015):
| Alcatel Lucent Share price: spot price of April 9, 2015: EUR 3.65; |
| Credit spread: |
| OCEANE 4.25% 2018 assuming 240-265 basis point (bps) credit spread as of April 9, 2015 |
| OCEANE 0.0% 2019 assuming 260-275 basis point (bps) credit spread as of April 9, 2015 |
| OCEANE 0.125% 2020 assuming 270-295 basis point (bps) credit spread as of April 9, 2015 |
| Repo: normative assumption of 50 basis point (bps); |
| Alcatel Lucent stock volatility: assuming 35%-37%, consistent with historical levels and implied volatility and long-term realized volatility of the Alcatel Lucent stock as of April 9, 2015. |
F-14
The theoretical value method results in the following average value for each of the convertible bonds: EUR 4.00 (plus accrued interests) per 2018 OCEANE, EUR 4.59 per 2019 OCEANE and EUR 4.55 per 2020 OCEANE. These values imply exchange ratios of 0.5564, 0.6341 and 0.6295 respectively.
