Hello and welcome.

As Chairman of Nokia, I am pleased to be able to address all of you and talk about Nokia’s past and future.

As you will have seen, we announced today our plan to join Nokia with Alcatel-Lucent … a combination that will create an innovation leader in next generation network technology and services.

This is an important step for Nokia, and I would like to share my personal view of how we got here and why it matters.

This is certainly not a decision we have taken lightly, either by Nokia or by Alcatel-Lucent. We have talked about various possibilities since the autumn of 2013. Sometimes on, sometimes off, but always with the right spirit and the right focus on the issues that matter.

In parallel, the Board, Nokia management and I considered a range of other options. We knew that if we went forward with this transaction, we would do so in the firm belief that it was not just a good option, but the best of the options available to us.

That work took time, it took effort and it told us two things.

The first is that we could have chosen a path that did not include this transaction. With time and investment, we believe that we could have delivered on our long-term strategy.

It became equally clear, however, that this transaction would enable us to put the necessary building blocks of technology in place significantly earlier than our other alternatives. We will be in a stronger position to create the foundation of seamless connectivity needed to really enable the human benefits - the human possibilities - of technology.

So, we moved ahead. We got to know each other quite well over the past several months, and have built a strong working relationship. I would like to thank Philippe Camus, Alcatel-Lucent’s chairman, for the good spirit in which these discussions were conducted. Over that period, it became clear to us that this is the right step forward for Nokia.

We believe that joining with Alcatel-Lucent builds on the other changes we have made in recent years, starting with the decisions to divest our handset business and purchase the Siemens share of what was then Nokia Siemens Networks in the summer of 2013.

These two transactions allowed us to transform the company and create very significant shareholder value. During the last 30 months, our enterprise value has increased 15 fold. This reflects both the business results as well as the soundness of the strategic direction we have taken.

NSN had gone through its own deep change — focusing its portfolio, redoubling efforts to improve productivity and efficiency and embarking on a path to set a new industry standard for quality. We became the full owners of a strong business at a very reasonable price, creating significant value for shareholders in the process.

At the end of April 2014, we announced a new direction for Nokia and committed ourselves to tapping the opportunities of what we call the programmable world. Today’s announcement with Alcatel-Lucent takes us further down that path.

When this transaction is completed, we will have something quite unique. Yes, a company that is bigger. But, even more importantly, one that is better … better enabled to create value, better enabled to innovate, better positioned to enable the human possibilities of technology.

With that, thank you for your time.
