The corresponding increase in share capital has not yet been entered in the trade
register. The intention is that the next time share subscriptions related to
Fortum Corporation's option schemes will be registered is approximately on 8
September 2006, when new shares subscribed for by 31 August 2006 will be
registered.

The subscription price of the shares subscribed for under the Fortum option
schemes 2001A, 2001B and 2002A equals the nominal value of the share, 3.40 euros.
 Therefore, any dividends paid do not reduce the subscription price since the
terms and conditions of the options state that the subscription price must not be
less than the nominal value of the share.
