Shareholders representing in total approximately 22% of all of the company’s shares and votes have informed the company that, on the basis of the proposal of the Audit and Remuneration Committee  consisting of members independent of the company and its shareholders, they propose to the Annual General Meeting that the fees payable to the members and the Chairman of the Board would remain unchanged from 2019 and be as follows: an annual remuneration of EUR 48,000 would be paid to the Chairman (2019: EUR 48,000), EUR 35,000 to the Vice Chairman (2019: EUR 35,000) and EUR 26,000 to the other Board members (2019: EUR 26,000).

In addition, it is proposed that a separate remuneration be paid for committee work to persons elected to a committee as follows: EUR 2,000 per meeting (2019: EUR 2,000) to Chairman and EUR 1,000 per meeting (2019: EUR 1,000) to members.

The above-mentioned shareholders also propose, based on the proposal of the Audit and Remuneration Committee, that approximately 40% of the annual remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors would be paid in Marimekko Corporation’s shares acquired from the market and the rest in cash. The annual remuneration would be paid entirely in cash, if a Board member on the date of the Annual General Meeting, 8 April 2020, holds the company´s shares worth more than EUR 1,000,000. The shares would be acquired directly on behalf of the Board members within two weeks from the release of the interim report for 1 January–31 March 2020 or if this would not be possible due to insider rules, as soon as possible thereafter.

If Mika Ihamuotila is elected a member and Chairman of the Board of Directors as proposed in the section 13 of this notice, he will, as of 8 April 2020 in addition to the aforementioned annual remuneration, be paid a monthly fee of EUR 4,400 for half-time duty (2019: EUR 4,400 for half-time duty) pursuant to a separate executive service agreement.

16. Authorization of the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company´s own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board be authorized by the Annual General Meeting to decide on the acquisition of a maximum of 100,000 of the company´s own shares, which represents approximately 1.2% of the total number of the company´s shares at the time of the proposal, in one or more instalments. The shares would be acquired with funds from the company´s non-restricted equity, which means that the acquisition would reduce funds available for distribution. The shares would be acquired otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders through public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price prevailing at the time of acquisition and in accordance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. The shares would be acquired to be used as a part of the company´s incentive compensation program, to be transferred for other purposes or to be cancelled. The authorization is proposed to include the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all of the other terms and conditions of the acquisition of the shares. The authorization is proposed to be valid for eighteen (18) months from the decision of the Annual General Meeting.

17. Authorization of the Board of Directors to decide on issuance of new shares and transfer of the company´s own shares



The Board of Directors proposes that the Board be authorized by the Annual General Meeting to decide on the issuance of new shares and the transfer of the company´s own shares in one or more instalments. The total number of shares to be issued or transferred pursuant to the authorization may not exceed 120,000 (new or the company´s own) shares, which represents approximately 1.5% of the total number of the company´s shares at the time of the proposal. Pursuant to the authorization, the Board may decide on a directed share issue in deviation from the shareholders´ pre-emptive right for a weighty financial reason, such as the company´s incentive compensation plan, developing the company´s capital structure, using the shares as consideration in possible company acquisitions or carrying out other business transactions. The share issue may be subject to a charge or free. A directed share issue can be free of charge only if there is a particularly weighty financial reason taking into account the interests of all of the company’s shareholders. The subscription price of the new shares and the amount paid for the company´s own shares would be recorded in the company’s reserve for invested non-restricted equity. The authorization is proposed to include the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all of the other terms and conditions of the share issue. The authorization is proposed to remain in force for a period of eighteen (18) months from the resolution of the Annual General Meeting.
