CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$4 145 668 508   $415 271.61
 
* For purposes of calculating the filing fee only. This amount is based upon the market value of the securities to be acquired in the U.S. Offer (as defined below) and was calculated as the sum of (a) the product of (i) 589 280 298 Alcatel Lucent ordinary shares, nominal value EUR 0.05 per share, estimated to be held by U.S. holders and (ii) the average of the high and low sales prices of Alcatel Lucent ordinary shares reported on Euronext Paris on November 13, 2015 (converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of an exchange rate of EUR 1.00 = $1.0722, which was the Federal Reserve Bank of New York noon buying rate on that date) and (b) the product of (i) 472 058 361 Alcatel Lucent American depositary shares estimated to be outstanding and the average of the high and low sales prices of Alcatel Lucent American depositary shares reported on the New York Stock Exchange on November 13, 2015.
** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, equals $100.70 per $1 million of the value of the Alcatel Lucent ordinary shares subject to the U.S. Offer (including Alcatel Lucent ordinary shares underlying all of Alcatel Lucent’s outstanding American depositary shares) proposed to be acquired.

This Amendment No. 13 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2015 (as amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) by Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”), a Finnish corporation. The Schedule TO relates to Nokia’s offer to:

 

    all U.S. holders (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) of outstanding ordinary shares, nominal value EUR 0.05 per share (the “Alcatel Lucent Shares”) of Alcatel Lucent, a French société anonyme (“Alcatel Lucent”),

 

    all holders of outstanding Alcatel Lucent American depositary shares, each representing one Alcatel Lucent Share (the “Alcatel Lucent ADSs”), wherever located, and

 

    all U.S. holders of outstanding (i) EUR 628 946 424.00 Alcatel Lucent bonds convertible into new Alcatel Lucent Shares or exchangeable for existing Alcatel Lucent Shares due on July 1, 2018 (the “2018 OCEANEs”), (ii) EUR 688 425 000.00 Alcatel Lucent bonds convertible into new Alcatel Lucent Shares or exchangeable for existing Alcatel Lucent Shares due on January 30, 2019 (the “2019 OCEANEs”) and (iii) EUR 460 289 979.90 Alcatel Lucent bonds convertible into new Alcatel Lucent Shares or exchangeable for existing Alcatel Lucent Shares due on January 30, 2020 (the “2020 OCEANEs” and, together with the 2018 OCEANEs and the 2019 OCEANEs, the “OCEANEs” and, together with the Alcatel Lucent Shares and the Alcatel Lucent ADSs, the “Alcatel Lucent Securities”) (the “U.S. Offer”).

Holders of Alcatel Lucent ADSs located outside of the United States may participate in the U.S. Offer only to the extent the local laws and regulations applicable to those holders permit them to participate in the U.S. Offer. Holders of Alcatel Lucent Securities who are restricted from participating in the U.S. Offer pursuant to the Sanctions (as defined in the Exchange Offer/Prospectus) may not participate in the U.S. Offer.

This offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the exchange offer/prospectus, dated November 12, 2015 (the “Exchange Offer/Prospectus”) attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(4) and incorporated herein by reference, and the related Letter of Transmittal for Certificated Alcatel Lucent ADSs, Letter of Transmittal for Book-Entry Only Alcatel Lucent ADSs and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii), respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. Concurrently with the U.S. Offer, Nokia is also making, on substantially similar terms and subject to the same conditions a French offer (the “French Offer” and, together with the U.S. Offer, the “Exchange Offer”) open to all holders of Alcatel Lucent Shares who are located in France. Holders of Alcatel Lucent Shares located outside of France may not participate in the French Offer except if, pursuant to the local laws and regulations applicable to those holders, they are permitted to participate in the French Offer. Together, the U.S. Offer and the French Offer are being made for all the outstanding Alcatel Lucent Shares, including Alcatel Lucent Shares represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs and OCEANEs.

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 13 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

 

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9, AND ITEM 11

All information contained in the Exchange Offer/Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal for Certificated Alcatel Lucent ADSs, Letter of Transmittal for Book-Entry Only Alcatel Lucent ADSs, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery and the Letter to Alcatel Lucent Security holders dated January 14, 2016 or any other supplement thereto related to the Exchange Offer, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Items 1 and 4(a) of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On January 14, 2016, Nokia commenced a subsequent offering period for all remaining outstanding Alcatel Lucent Securities. The deadline for tendering Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs into the subsequent offering period is 5:30 PM Paris time (11:30 AM New York City time) on February 3, 2016. The deadline for tendering Alcatel Lucent ADSs into the subsequent offering period is 5:00 PM New York City time on February 2, 2016. Any Alcatel Lucent Securities validly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be accepted for payment upon completion of the subsequent offering period (as defined in the Exchange Offer/Prospectus), and tendering Alcatel Lucent Security holders will promptly thereafter be paid the same consideration per Alcatel Lucent Share, Alcatel Lucent ADS and OCEANE as was offered and paid in the initial offering period. The Alcatel Lucent Securities validly tendered during the subsequent offering period will not be permitted to be withdrawn. Nokia will accept all Alcatel Lucent Securities tendered into the subsequent offering period without any minimum tender condition.

Following the expiration of the subsequent offering period, if Nokia owns at least 95% of the Alcatel Lucent share capital and voting rights, Nokia intends to squeeze out the remaining Alcatel Lucent Shares. If Nokia reaches 95% ownership of the Alcatel Lucent Shares on a fully diluted basis, it intends to squeeze-out the remaining OCEANE convertible bonds. Such squeeze-out must be implemented within three months of the closing of the subsequent offering period and will be subject to a clearance decision of the AMF. In addition, Nokia intends to terminate the Alcatel Lucent ADS program, delist the Alcatel Lucent ADSs from the NYSE and, subject to applicable law, to deregister the Alcatel Lucent Shares and Alcatel Lucent ADSs and terminate the reporting obligations of Alcatel Lucent under the Exchange Act.

Nokia Corporation

 

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO TENDER AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES OF ALCATEL-LUCENT.

TIME IS CRITICAL. PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN PROMPTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS.

Nokia Corporation successfully completed its offer (the “Offer”) to exchange the validly tendered Alcatel-Lucent American Depositary Shares, each representing one Alcatel-Lucent share (“Alcatel-Lucent ADSs”), for Nokia Corporation American Depositary Shares, each representing one Nokia Corporation share (“Nokia ADSs”), upon the terms and conditions of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 dated November 12, 2015 and Schedule TO dated November 18, 2015, each as amended from time to time. The Offer expired at 5:00 PM, New York City Time, December 22, 2015.

Nokia Corporation has opened the subsequent offering period with respect to the Offer. The subsequent offering period will expire in the U.S. at 5:00 PM, New York City Time, February 2, 2016. The purpose of the subsequent offering period is to enable Alcatel-Lucent ADS holders who have not previously tendered their Alcatel-Lucent ADSs during the initial offer period to do so and receive the same 0.55 Nokia ADS per Alcatel-Lucent ADS that was paid to Alcatel-Lucent ADS holders who previously tendered their Alcatel-Lucent ADSs during the initial Offer period. DURING THE REOPENED OFFER, TENDERING ALCATEL-LUCENT ADS HOLDERS WILL NOT HAVE WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

Any Alcatel-Lucent ADSs not tendered into the reopened Offer will remain outstanding. After completion of the Offer, Nokia Corporation intends to delist the Alcatel-Lucent ADSs from the New York Stock Exchange, meaning they will not be tradeable on any regulated securities exchange, and terminate the Alcatel-Lucent ADR program.

See Instructions on the reverse side on how to tender your Alcatel-Lucent ADSs in the reopened Offer.

 

Please use the space below to list your Alcatel-Lucent ADSs held in certificate and/or book-entry form

 

Certificated Alcatel-Lucent ADS Total shares:                                                              

(Please include original certificates with this Letter of Transmittal)

Book-Entry Alcatel-Lucent ADS Share Total:                                                              

Complete the appropriate box on the reverse side to tender your Alcatel-Lucent ADSs in the reopened Offer for Nokia ADSs upon the terms and conditions of the subsequent offering period.

Although Nokia Corporation has mailed the Offer documents to the extent required by U.S. law, including to holders located outside the United States, the Offer documents are not an offer to buy, sell or exchange and it is not a solicitation of an offer to buy, sell or exchange either Alcatel-Lucent securities or Nokia Corporation securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange is not permitted. Countries outside the United States generally have their own legal requirements that govern securities offerings made to persons residing in those countries and often impose stringent requirements about the form and content of offers made to the general public. The ability of any non-U.S. person to tender Alcatel-Lucent securities in the subsequent offering period will depend on compliance with the laws of such person’s home country, including any applicable exemption, that would permit the person to participate in the subsequent offering period. Non-U.S. holders should consult their advisors in considering whether they may participate in the subsequent offering period in accordance with the laws of their home countries and, if they do participate, whether there are any restrictions or limitations on transactions in Alcatel-Lucent securities that may apply in their home countries. None of Nokia Corporation, Alcatel-Lucent, the Exchange Agent or the Information Agent can provide any assurance about whether such limitations exist.
