The information relating, in particular, to the legal, financial and accounting characteristics of Nokia is included in the prospectus relating, on the one hand, to the admission to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris of all of the Nokia shares, including the Nokia shares to be issued in the context of the Offer and the U.S. Offer (as this term is defined in the Offer Document), and, on the other hand, to the admission to trading on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Ltd. (the “Nasdaq Helsinki”) of the Nokia shares to be issued in the context of the Offer and the U.S. Offer, which was established in English by Nokia and approved by the Finnish Financial Supervision Authority (the “FIN-FSA”) on October 23, 2015 (hereafter, with all the documents that it incorporates by reference, the “Listing Prospectus”). A certificate of approval by the FIN-FSA, as well as a copy of the approved Listing Prospectus have been notified by the FIN-FSA to the AMF on October 26, 2015, with the translation of the summary of the Listing Prospectus in French, in accordance with the European passporting mechanism provided for in the “prospectus” Directive No. 2003/71/EC of November 4, 2003 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading and amending Directive 2001/34/EC. A supplement to the Listing Prospectus has also been approved by the FIN-FSA on November 16, 2015 and notified to the AMF on the same day on the same conditions (the “Supplement”). This Supplement contains certain updates based on announcements and developments that have taken place after the approval of the Listing Prospectus, such as, among others, the announcement by Nokia and Alcatel Lucent S.A. of their respective interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and the announcement of Nokia’s EUR 7 billion program to optimize its capital structure and acceleration of the EUR 900 million synergy target for the Alcatel Lucent S.A. transaction.
