Nokia Corporation
$500,000,000 3.375% Notes due 2022
$500,000,000 4.375% Notes due 2027
We are offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.375% notes due 2022 (the "2022 notes") and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% notes due 2027 (the "2027 notes" and, together with the 2022 notes, the "notes"). We will pay interest on the notes on June 12 and December 12 of each year, beginning on December 12, 2017.
Unless previously redeemed, the 2022 notes will mature on June 12, 2022 and the 2027 notes will mature on June 12, 2027. We may redeem any series of the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at our election, upon certain notice, at the redemption prices set forth herein. See "Description of the NotesOptional Redemption."
The notes are unsecured and will rank equally with all of Nokia Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. We may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time at the make-whole redemption price set forth in this prospectus supplement. In addition, we may redeem the notes in whole if certain tax events occur as described in this prospectus supplement. The notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is currently no public market for the notes.
Pursuant to an offer to purchase and consent solicitation memorandum dated May 30, 2017, we have commenced tender offers and Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. has commenced a solicitation of consents from the holders of the ALU Notes (as defined below) to amend the ALU Indenture (as defined below) to remove certain covenants and certain events of default (the "Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation"). We are conducting tender offers for any and all of the $300,000,000 6.50% Debentures due January 15, 2028 (the "2028 Notes") and the $1,360,000,000 6.45% Debentures due March 15, 2029 (the "2029 Notes," and together with the 2028 Notes, the "ALU Notes") issued by Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., and an aggregate principal amount of our outstanding $1,000,000,000 5.375% Notes due May 15, 2019 (the "2019 Notes") such that the total amount payable by us for all tendered notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (excluding any accrued interest) is no greater than a cash spend amount equal to $1,500,000,000 (the "Maximum Acceptance Amount"). The ALU Notes were initially issued by Lucent Technologies Inc. (the predecessor to Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary) pursuant to an indenture dated April 1, 1996 (the "ALU Indenture"). This offering of notes is not conditioned upon completion of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Investment in the notes involves certain risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement and on page 67 of Nokia Corporation's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the notes.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part constitutes this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of the notes that we are currently offering. The second part constitutes the accompanying prospectus, which provides more general information, some of which may not apply to the notes that we are currently offering. Generally, the term "prospectus" refers to both parts combined. If the information varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information in the accompanying prospectus.
You should only rely on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. No dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus supplement. You must not rely on any unauthorized information or representations. We and the underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus supplement is an offer to sell only the notes offered hereby, but only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. The information contained in this prospectus supplement is current only as of its date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospectus may have changed since such date.
In this prospectus supplement, any reference to "we," "us," "our," "the Company," "the Group," "the Nokia Group" or "Nokia" means Nokia Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Alcatel Lucent S.A. or "Alcatel Lucent") and generally to Nokia's Continuing operations, except where we separately specify that the term means Nokia Corporation or a particular subsidiary or business segment only or our Discontinued operations.
In this prospectus supplement, references to "EUR," "euro" or "€" are to the common currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union and references to "dollars," "USD" or "$" are to the currency of the United States.
The notes are being offered only for sale in jurisdictions where it is lawful to make such offers. Offers and sales of the notes are subject to restrictions in relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore, details of which are set out in the section entitled "Underwriting." The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the offering of the notes in certain other jurisdictions may also be restricted by law. Persons who receive this prospectus supplement should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions.

LIMITATION ON ENFORCEMENT OF UNITED STATES LAWS AGAINST US, OUR MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS
We are a Finnish corporation. Most of our directors and a majority of our executive officers (and certain experts named in this prospectus supplement or in documents incorporated herein by reference) are resident outside the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them or us in judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. In addition, it may be difficult for investors to enforce, in original actions brought in courts in jurisdictions
S-ii
located outside the United States or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT US

Nokia
We create the technology to connect the world. Powered by the research and innovation of Nokia Bell Labs, we serve communications service providers, governments, large enterprises and consumers with one of the industry's most complete end-to-end portfolio of products, services and licensing.
Since the closing of the Alcatel Lucent acquisition in early January 2016 (the "Acquisition of Alcatel Lucent"), we have combined global leadership in mobile and fixed network infrastructure with the software, services and advanced technologies to serve customers in more than 100 countries around the world. We believe we are driving the transition to smart, virtual networks and connectivity by creating one single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks, with the software and services to manage them. Our research scientists and engineers continue to invent new technologies that aim to transform the way people and things communicate and connect: 5G, ultra broadband access, IP and Software Defined Networking ("SDN"), Cloud applications, IoT and security platforms, data analytics, as well as sensors and imaging.
In the year ended December 31, 2016, we delivered net sales of €23.6 billion. We continued to make significant targeted R&D investments with R&D expenditures equaling €4.9 billion in 2016.
In 2016, we had sales in approximately 130 countries. We also have research and development ("R&D") facilities in Europe, North America and Asia, and at the end of 2016, we employed approximately 101,000 people.
We have two businesses: Nokia's Networks business and Nokia Technologies. Within these two businesses, we had five business groups in 2016: Mobile Networks, Fixed Networks, IP/Optical Networks, and Applications & Analytics (all within our Networks business); and Nokia Technologies. Through our five business groups, we have a global presence with operations in Europe, the Middle East & Africa, Greater China, North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
We have three reporting segments: (i) Ultra Broadband Networks comprising Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks, (ii) IP Networks and Applications comprising IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics (all within our Networks business), and (iii) Nokia Technologies. Following the changes to our organizational structure announced on March 17, 2017, Ultra Broadband Networks will be composed of the Mobile Networks, Global Services and Fixed Networks business groups and IP Networks and Applications will be composed of the IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics business groups. Additionally, we report the results of other business activities that are not reportable segments, such as our undersea cables business, Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks ("ASN"), and our antenna systems business, Radio Frequency Systems ("RFS"), in aggregate. Both ASN and RFS are being managed as separate businesses.
Our principal executive office in the United States is located at Nokia USA Inc., 200 S. Mathilda Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 and our telephone number is Tel: +1 908 582 3000. Nokia Corporation is a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland.

These additional notes will be deemed to have been part of the same series as the notes offered hereby and will provide the holders of these additional notes the right to vote together with holders of the notes issued hereby. |

We intend to use all or part of the net proceeds to finance the repurchase of the 2019 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2029 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation. We intend to use any remaining amount of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, including if the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation is not consummated or the Maximum Acceptance Amount is changed, for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements, repayment of other borrowings, capital expenditures, acquisitions and stock repurchases. See "Use of Proceeds." |

Timing and Delivery |
We expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about June 12, 2017, which will be the fifth business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement being referred to as "T+5"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the delivery of the notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors. See "Underwriting." |
|
Risk Factors |
You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus, which includes information incorporated by reference. In particular, you should evaluate the specific factors under "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement and under the heading "Risk Factors" on page 67 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, for risks involved with an investment in the notes. |
S-8
Investing in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" beginning on page 67 of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. You should also carefully consider those risks, uncertainties and assumptions together with all the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Risks Relating to an Investment in our Notes
The notes do not restrict our ability to incur additional debt, including debt of our subsidiaries, or prohibit us from taking other action that could negatively impact holders of the notes. Your right to receive payments on the notes is structurally subordinated to liabilities of our subsidiaries.
We are not restricted under the terms of the indenture or the notes from incurring additional indebtedness, including indebtedness of our subsidiaries. None of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes. As such, the notes will be structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness of our subsidiaries to the extent of the assets of such subsidiaries.
The terms of the indenture limit our ability to secure additional debt without also securing the notes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. However, these limitations are subject to numerous exceptions. See "Description of the NotesCovenants." In addition, the notes do not require us to achieve or maintain any minimum financial results relating to our financial position or results of operations. Our ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt, secure existing or future debt or take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture and the notes, could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the notes when due.
There may not be a liquid market for the notes.
The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading market. We cannot assure you that a trading market for the notes will develop or be maintained in the United States or elsewhere. We do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange. We have been advised by the Underwriters that the Underwriters intend to make a market in the notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected. In that case, holders of the notes may not be able to sell notes at a particular time or may not be able to sell notes at a favorable price. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on a number of factors including:
Investors should be aware that the materialization of any of the above risks may adversely affect the value of the notes.
S-9
Our financial performance and other factors could adversely impact our ability to make payments on the notes.
The notes are our senior unsecured debt securities. Consequently, your receipt of all payments of interest and principal on the notes is dependent on our ability to repay our obligations on the applicable payment date. No assurance can be given as to what our financial condition will be at any time during the term or on the maturity date of the notes. We may enter into transactions or restructurings that adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Consequently, all payments on the notes will be subject to our credit risk. Any actual or anticipated decline in Nokia Corporation's credit ratings, changes in the market's view of its creditworthiness or any increase in its credit spreads charged by the market for taking credit risk are likely to adversely affect the value of the notes prior to maturity and cause the liquidity of the notes to decline significantly.
Our ability to make scheduled payments with respect to our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on our financial and operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors many of which are beyond our control.
Ratings for the notes may not reflect all risks of an investment in the notes.
The notes will be rated by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Any rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the notes. These ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. In addition, ratings at any time may be lowered or withdrawn in their entirety. The ratings for the notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors on any trading market for, or trading value of, your notes.
We may redeem your notes at our option, which may adversely affect your return.
We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time or from time to time at the applicable redemption prices described in this prospectus supplement. Prevailing interest rates at the time we redeem the notes may be lower than the interest rate on the notes. As a result, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an interest rate equal to or higher than the interest rate on the notes. See "Description of the NotesOptional Redemption" for a more detailed description of the conditions under which we may redeem the notes.
We may redeem the notes for certain tax reasons.
We may redeem the notes at any time in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain tax events, as more particularly described under "Description of the NotesOptional Tax Redemption" below. Certain of such events may occur at any time after the issue date and it is therefore possible that we would be able to redeem the notes at any time after the issue date.
If we redeem the notes in any of the circumstances mentioned above, you may not be able to reinvest the amounts received upon redemption at a rate that will provide the same rate of return as your investment in such notes.
The notes will initially be held in book-entry form and therefore you must rely on the procedures of the relevant clearing systems to exercise any rights and remedies.
Unless and until definitive registered notes are issued in exchange for book-entry interests in the notes, owners of the book-entry interests will not be considered owners or holders of the notes. Instead, the registered holder, or their respective nominee, will be the sole holder of the notes. Payments of principal, interest and other amounts owing on or in respect of the notes in global form
S-10
will be made to The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London branch (as paying agent for the notes), which will distribute payments to DTC. Thereafter, payments will be made by DTC to participants and then by such participants to indirect participants. After payment to DTC neither we, the trustee, the paying agent nor the security registrar will have any responsibility or liability of any aspect of the records related to, or payments of, interest, principal or other amounts to owners of book-entry interests.
Unlike holders of the notes themselves, owners of book-entry interests will not have the direct right to act upon our solicitations or consents or requests for waivers or other actions from holders of the notes that we may choose to make in the future. Rather, owners of book-entry interests will be permitted to act only to the extent that they have received appropriate proxies to do so from DTC or, if applicable, from a participant. We cannot assure you that procedures implemented for the granting of such proxies will be sufficient to enable you to vote on any such solicitations or requests for actions on a timely basis.
You may be unable to recover in civil proceedings for U.S. securities laws violations.
Nokia Corporation is organized under the laws of the Republic of Finland. A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, most of the members of our Board of Directors and officers are residents of countries other than the United States. Consequently, it may be burdensome, costly or even impossible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. In addition, we cannot assure you that civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States will be enforceable in the Republic of Finland. See "Limitation on Enforcement of U.S. Laws Against Us, Our Management and Others."
S-11
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be approximately $989,780,000, after the deduction of underwriting discounts and expenses payable by us estimated to be $1,170,000. We intend to use all or part of the net proceeds to finance the repurchase of the 2019 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2029 Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation. We intend to use any remaining amount of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, including if the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation is not consummated or the Maximum Acceptance Amount is changed, for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements, repayment of other borrowings, capital expenditures, acquisitions and stock repurchases.

S-14
This summary of certain provisions of the indenture and the notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture (including the form of the notes), copies of which are available upon request from us.
General
We will offer $500,000,000 initial aggregate principal amount of 3.375% notes due 2022 (the "2022 notes") and $500,000,000 initial aggregate principal amount of 4.375% notes due 2027 (the "2027 notes" and, together with the 2022 notes, the "notes").
The notes will be issued as separate series under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London branch, as trustee (the "trustee") expected to be dated as of June 12, 2017, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture between us, the trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London branch as paying agent (the "paying agent") and The Bank of New York Mellon as registrar (the "registrar") expected to be dated also as of June 12, 2017. Herein, we refer to the indenture, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, as the "indenture." The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
The notes will be unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of Nokia Corporation and will rank equally with all of Nokia Corporation's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
There is no sinking fund for the notes.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is currently no public market for the notes.
Interest Payments and Maturity
For purposes of the description below, "business day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not, in New York City, Helsinki, Finland, or the place of payment of interest or principal with respect to the notes, a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
Maturity. The entire principal amount of each series of the notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, as follows:
Interest Rate. The notes of each series will bear interest from their original issue date or from the most recent date to which interest on the notes has been paid or duly provided for, until their maturity date, at the rate specified below, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months:
Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 12 and December 12 of each year, commencing December 12, 2017 (each an "Interest Payment Date"). However, if an Interest Payment Date would fall on a day that is not a business day, the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a business day (but no additional interest shall be paid unless we fail to make payment on such date).
S-15
Interest Periods. The first interest period for the notes will be the period from and including the issue date to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date. Thereafter, the interest periods for the notes will be the periods from and including the Interest Payment Dates to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date (together with the first interest period, each an "Interest Period"). The final Interest Period will be the period from and including the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the maturity date to but excluding the maturity date.
Record Dates. We will pay interest to you if you are a direct holder of the notes at the close of business on May 28 and November 27, as the case may be, preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if you no longer own the notes on the Interest Payment Date.
We will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the notes at the office of the paying agent. See "Paying Agent" below. Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive payments.
Redemption
As explained below, under certain circumstances we may redeem the notes before they mature. This means that we may repay them early. You have no right to require us to redeem the notes. The notes will stop bearing interest on the redemption date, even if you do not collect your money. We will give notice to DTC of any redemption we propose to make at least 10 days, but no more than 60 days, before the redemption date. Notice by DTC to participating institutions and by these participating institutions to street name holders of indirect interests in the notes will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements.
Optional Redemption
We may redeem any series of the notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at our election, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes of such series, and (ii) as determined by the quotation agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes of such series to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate plus the make-whole spread (as set forth below) plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. In connection with such optional redemption, the following defined terms apply:
S-16
Unless we default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. We may repurchase Notes at any time and from time to time in the open market or otherwise.
Optional Tax Redemption
We also have the option to redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, if as a result of a change or amendment to any law or related regulation or ruling of any jurisdiction in which we are organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or through which we make (or a paying agent makes) payment, or any change in the official application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, we would have to pay additional amounts as described under "Payment of Additional Amounts." The redemption price for the notes will be equal to the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest and any additional amounts due on the date fixed for redemption. We must give you between 10 and 60 days' notice before redeeming the notes; provided that we shall give such notice not earlier than 60 days before the first date on which we would be required to pay any additional amounts.
We may only exercise this option if changes or amendments or changes in the official application or interpretation are announced and become effective on or after the date hereof. If we are succeeded by another entity, the applicable jurisdiction will be the jurisdiction in which such successor is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or through which such successor (or a paying agent) makes payment, rather than the jurisdiction in which we are organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or through which we make (or a paying agent makes) payment, and the applicable date will be the date such entity became successor, rather than the date hereof.
We would have the option to redeem the notes only if the payment of such additional amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to us.

We may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes of any series, issue additional notes of one or more of the series offered hereby having the same ranking and same interest rate, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms (other than the issuance date and, possibly, the first Interest Payment Date, the first interest accrual date and issue price) as the notes described in this prospectus supplement; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible with the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number and/or ISIN, as the case may be. Any such additional notes, together with the notes of such series offered by this prospectus supplement, will constitute a single series of securities under the indenture and are included
S-17
in the definition of "notes" in this summary where the context requires. There is no limitation on the amount of notes or other additional notes that we may issue under the indenture.
Form, Denomination, Clearance and Settlement
We will issue the notes in fully registered form. The notes of each series will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. You will hold beneficial interests in the notes through DTC in book-entry form. The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The underwriters expect to deliver the notes through the facilities of DTC on June 12, 2017. Indirect holders trading their beneficial interests in the notes through DTC must trade in DTC's same-day funds settlement system and pay in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will occur in the ordinary way following the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. See "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form" for more information about these clearing systems.
Payment of principal of and interest on the notes, so long as the notes are represented by global securities, will be made in immediately available funds. Beneficial interests in the global securities will trade in the same-day funds settlement system of DTC, and secondary market trading activity in such interests will therefore settle in same-day funds.
Exchange and Transfer
You may exchange or transfer the notes at the office of The Bank of New York Mellon, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration. See "Paying Agent" below. The Bank of New York Mellon acts as our agent for registering the notes in the names of holders and for transferring registered notes. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform the service ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the security registrar. It will also register transfers of the notes.
If we opt to redeem the notes and we redeem less than all of the notes, we may block the transfer or exchange of the notes during a specified period of time in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. The period begins 15 days before the day we first mail the notice of redemption and ends on the day of that mailing. We may also refuse to register transfers or exchanges of the notes selected or called for redemption. However, we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of the notes if the notes are being partially redeemed.
Payment of Additional Amounts
We (including, for the purposes of this provision, any successor to us) agree that any amounts to be paid by us under the notes of principal, interest and any premium in respect of the notes will be paid without deduction or withholding for, any and all present and future taxes, levies, duties, assessments, imposts or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, assessed, levied or collected by or for the account of the government of any jurisdiction in which we are organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or through which we make (or a paying agent makes)
S-18
payment or any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such deduction or withholding is at any time required, we will pay you such additional amounts as will result in your receipt of such amounts as you would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
We will not have to pay additional amounts if:
S-19
Whenever this "Description of the Notes" mentions the payment of amounts based on the principal amount, interest or any other amount payable under, or with respect to the notes, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of additional amounts to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts were, are or would be payable in respect thereof.
Mergers and Similar Events
We are permitted to amalgamate, reconstruct, consolidate or merge with another company or other legal entity that is organized under the laws of the Republic of Finland, the United States or any other country which is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. We are also permitted to sell or convey all or substantially all of our property to such other entity. Our ability to take these actions is restricted in that any entity succeeding us, or acquiring all or substantially all of our property, must assume our obligations in relation to the notes and under the indenture, including the obligation to pay any additional amounts as described under "Payment of Additional Amounts."
Each holder of the notes agrees, with respect to the notes it holds, not to exercise, and hereby waives in advance, its right in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act (Fin: Osakeyhtiölaki 624/2006, as amended) to object to any merger or demerger if (and only if) such merger or demerger (as applicable) is not prohibited under this "Description of the Notes" or the indenture.
Covenants
Limitation on Liens
Some of our property and the property of our subsidiaries may be subject to a mortgage, pledge, assignment, charge or other legal mechanism that gives a lender preferential rights in that property over other lenders, including you and the other direct holders of the notes, or over our general creditors if we fail to repay them. These preferential rights are generally called liens.
We undertake that we and certain of our subsidiaries, which we refer to as "restricted subsidiaries," will not become obligated on any new debt for borrowed money that is secured by a lien on any principal property or on any shares of stock or indebtedness of any of our restricted subsidiaries unless we grant an equivalent or higher-ranking lien on the same property to you and the other holders of the notes.
S-20
We do not need to comply with this restriction if the amount of all debt that would be secured by liens on our principal properties and the shares of stock or indebtedness of our restricted subsidiaries plus the total amount of attributable debt attributable to sale and lease-back transactions (but excluding sale and lease-back transactions that we or a restricted subsidiary would be entitled to enter into as described under "Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions" below) is no more than 10% of our total consolidated assets.
This restriction on liens does not apply to debt secured by a number of different types of liens. These types of liens include the following:
S-21
The following types of transactions will not be deemed to create debt secured by a lien and, therefore, will also not be subject to the restriction on liens:
S-22
Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions
Neither we nor any of our restricted subsidiaries will enter into any sale and lease-back transaction involving a principal property without complying with this covenant.
A sale and lease-back transaction is an arrangement between us or a restricted subsidiary and any person in which we or the restricted subsidiary leases back for a term of more than three years a principal property that we or the restricted subsidiary has sold or transferred to that person.
We and our restricted subsidiaries may enter into sale and lease-back transactions provided that the total amount of attributable debt attributable to all sale and lease-back transactions plus other debt of ours or any of our restricted subsidiaries that is secured by liens (but excluding debt secured by liens on property that we or a restricted subsidiary would be entitled to incur, assume or guarantee without equally and ratably securing the notes as described under "Limitation on Liens" above) does not exceed 10% of total consolidated assets.
This restriction does not apply to any sale and lease-back transaction if:
This restriction on sale and lease-back transactions also does not apply to any transaction between us and a restricted subsidiary, or between restricted subsidiaries.
"Attributable debt" means the present value (discounted at a rate equal to the weighted average of the rate of interest on all securities then issued and outstanding under the indenture, compounded semi-annually) of our or a restricted subsidiary's obligation for rental payments for the remaining term of any lease in respect of a sale and lease-back transaction, including in each case any period for which any such lease has been extended. Such rental payments will not include amounts payable by or on behalf of the lessee for maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges.
Events of Default and Related Matters
A holder of the notes will have enforcement rights if any event of default occurs and is not cured, as described later in this subsection.
S-23
What is an event of default? With respect to each series of the notes, an event of default means each of the following events:
An event of default with respect to any series of notes would not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of notes.
Remedies if an event of default occurs. If an event of default, other than a "Bankruptcy" default, has occurred (but only if the default has occurred for less than all series of notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding) and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the notes of the affected series (each affected series voting as a separate class) may declare the principal amount of such series of notes, together with any accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately. If a "Bankruptcy" default has occurred, the principal of all notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding, together with any accrued interest, will be due and payable immediately. If any other event of default has occurred with respect to all series of the notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of all the notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding, together with any accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately. In each such case, this is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes of the affected series or by at least a majority in principal amount of all the notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding (voting as one class), as the case may be, if certain conditions are met.
Before a declaration of acceleration of maturity, past defaults that do not affect all series of notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes of each affected series (each such series voting as a separate class). Past defaults that affect all series of notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding (including any "Bankruptcy" defaults) may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all the notes then issued under the indenture and outstanding (treated as one class). Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any series of the notes or default or breach of a covenant or provision of the indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each note affected may only be waived, modified or amended with the consent of such holder.
S-24
Except in cases of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee protection reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against costs, expenses and liability. This protection is called an indemnity. If indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of the relevant series may, subject to certain limitations and conditions, direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. These majority holders may also, subject to certain limitations and conditions, direct the trustee in performing any other action under the indenture.
Before you bypass the trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the notes, the following must occur:
These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by you for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on the notes on or after the respective due dates.
We will file annually with the trustee on or before March 31 in each year a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that, to their knowledge, we have not defaulted on our covenants under the indenture or else specifying any default that exists.
Modification of the Indenture and Waiver
There are three types of changes we can make to the indenture and any series of the notes.
Changes not requiring approval. The first type of change does not require any vote by holders of the notes. Your consent is not required to do any of the following:
S-25
Changes requiring the approval of a majority of holders. The second type of change to the indenture and the notes requires a vote in favor by holders of notes owning at least a majority of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding and affected by such change (each affected series voting as a separate class). In this manner, any provision of such affected series of notes or the indenture relating to such affected series of notes may be changed or eliminated unless the provision relates to a matter that requires the consent of each affected holder as discussed below.
Changes requiring your approval. Third, there are changes that cannot be made to the notes without the specific approval of each affected holder. Your consent is required before we can do any of the following:
Satisfaction, Defeasance and Discharge
We may terminate our repayment and other obligations with respect to any series of the notes when:
We may elect to have our obligations under the notes discharged or elect to have our obligations with respect to the covenants under the indenture released, except for various obligations described below, if we, in addition to other actions, put in place the following arrangements for you:
S-26
However, even if we take these actions, a number of our obligations relating to the notes will remain. These include the following obligations:
"Government obligations" means securities that are:
and are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer of such securities. Government obligations also include:
Paying Agent
The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London branch is the paying agent for the notes. The paying agent's current address is The Bank of New York Mellon, One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of paying agents or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent, but must also maintain a paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Whenever there are changes in the paying agent for the notes we must notify the trustee.
The Bank of New York Mellon will initially serve as the security registrar for the notes. See "Exchange and Transfer."
Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its London branch is the trustee under the indenture. The trustee's current address is The Bank of New York Mellon, One Canada Square,
S-27
London E14 5AL, United Kingdom, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration. As trustee, it has two main roles:
Notices
We and the trustee will send notices only to direct holders, using their addresses registered in the security registrar's records.
Regardless of who acts as paying agent, all money that we pay to a paying agent that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the amount is due to direct holders of the notes will be repaid to us. After that two-year period, you may look only to us for payment and not to the trustee, any other paying agent or anyone else.
Governing Law
The notes and the indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and the trustee irrevocably waive any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture.
S-28
We have obtained the information in this section concerning DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg, and Euroclear and their book-entry systems and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable. We take no responsibility for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time.
The notes will initially be represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC or any successor thereto and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's nominee). You may hold your interests in the global notes in the United States through DTC, or in Europe through Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg's or Euroclear's names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold those positions in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on the books of DTC.
So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global securities representing the notes, DTC or such nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes for all purposes of the notes and the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures of DTC or its nominee and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.
Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form under the limited circumstances described below under the heading "Certificated Notes":
The Depository Trust Company
DTC will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued as fully registered notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. DTC is:
S-29
DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC facilitates the settlement among direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in direct participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct participants of DTC include securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants. Indirect participants of DTC, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, can also access the DTC system if they maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant.
Purchases of notes under DTC's system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the notes on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner is in turn to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in notes, except as provided below under the heading "Certificated Notes."
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Clearstream, Luxembourg
Clearstream, Luxembourg has advised us as follows:
S-30
Euroclear
Euroclear has advised us as follows:
Book-Entry Format
Under the book-entry format, the paying agent will pay interest or principal payments to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC will forward the payment to the direct participants, who will then forward the payment to the indirect participants (including Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear) or to you as the beneficial owner. You may experience some delay in receiving your payments under this system. Neither we, the trustee under the indenture nor any paying agent has any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal or interest on the notes to owners of beneficial interests in the notes.
DTC is required to make book-entry transfers on behalf of its direct participants and is required to receive and transmit payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes. Any direct participant or indirect participant with which you have an account is similarly required to make book-entry transfers and to receive and transmit payments with respect to the notes on your behalf. We and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility for any aspect of the actions of DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. In addition, we and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records kept by DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.
The trustee will not recognize you as a holder under the indenture, and you can only exercise the rights of a holder indirectly through DTC and its direct participants. DTC has advised us that it will only take action regarding a note if one or more of the direct participants to whom the note is credited directs DTC to take such action and only in respect of the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which that participant or participants has or have given that direction. DTC can only act
S-31
on behalf of its direct participants. Your ability to pledge notes to non-direct participants, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your notes.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the notes unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC's procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear will credit payments to the cash accounts of Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants in accordance with the relevant system's rules and procedures, to the extent received by its depositary. These payments will be subject to tax reporting in accordance with relevant United States tax laws and regulations. Clearstream, Luxembourg or the Euroclear operator, as the case may be, will take any other action permitted to be taken by a holder under the indenture on behalf of a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant only in accordance with its relevant rules and procedures and subject to its depositary's ability to effect those actions on its behalf through DTC.
Transfers Within and Among Book-Entry Systems
Transfers between DTC's direct participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Secondary market trading will be settled using procedures applicable to United States corporate debt obligations in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System for securities. If payment is made in U.S. dollars, settlement will be in same-day funds. If payment is made in a currency other than U.S. dollars, settlement will be free of payment. If payment is made other than in U.S. dollars, separate payment arrangements outside of the DTC system must be made between the DTC participants involved. Transfers between Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants will occur in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear, respectively.
DTC will effect cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream, Luxembourg customers or Euroclear participants, on the other hand, in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its depositary. However, cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in that system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, instruct its depositary to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream, Luxembourg customers and Euroclear participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries.
DTC participants that hold debt securities through DTC on behalf of investors will follow the settlement practices applicable to United States corporate debt obligations in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, or such other procedures as are applicable for other securities.
Debt securities will be credited to the securities custody accounts of these DTC participants against payment in same-day funds, for payments in U.S. dollars, on the settlement date. For payments in a currency other than U.S. dollars, debt securities will be credited free of payment on the settlement date.
Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear resulting from a transaction with a DTC direct participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date.
S-32
Those credits or any transactions in those securities settled during that processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or Euroclear participant on that business day. Cash received in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream, Luxembourg customer or a Euroclear participant to a DTC direct participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash amount only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.
Although DTC, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of notes among their respective participants, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time.
Certificated Notes
Unless and until they are exchanged, in whole or in part, for notes in definitive form in accordance with the terms of the notes, the notes may not be transferred except (1) as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC; (2) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC; or (3) by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.
We will issue notes to you or your nominees, in fully certificated registered form, rather than to DTC or its nominees, only if:
If any of the above events occurs, DTC is required to notify all direct participants that notes in fully certificated registered form are available through DTC. DTC will then surrender the global note representing the notes along with instructions for re-registration. The trustee will re-issue the notes in fully certificated registered form and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated notes as holders under the indenture.
Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form, (1) you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes; (2) all references in this prospectus supplement to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by the depositary upon instructions from their direct participants; and (3) all references in this prospectus supplement to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to the depositary, as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with its policies and procedures.
S-33
Certain Material Finnish Tax Considerations
The following is a general description addressing only the Finnish withholding tax treatment of income arising from the notes. This description is (i) based on the laws, regulations and published case law in full force and effect in Finland and the interpretation thereof as at the date of this prospectus supplement, which may be subject to change in the future, potentially with retroactive effect, and (ii) prepared on the assumption that the Issuer is resident in Finland for tax purposes. Investors should be aware that the comments below are of a general nature and do not constitute legal or tax advice and should not be understood as such. The following description is based on an interpretation of general provisions of tax law. Prospective investors are therefore advised to consult their own qualified advisors so as to determine, in the light of their individual situation, the tax consequences of the acquisition, holding, exercise, redemption, sale or other disposition of the notes.
Non-Resident Holders of Notes
Payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer to persons not resident in Finland for tax purposes and who do not engage in trade or business through a Finnish branch, permanent establishment or other fixed place of business in Finland may be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Republic of Finland or by any municipality or other political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
The entity effecting the payment should ensure whether the recipient of the payment is non-resident for Finnish tax purposes.
Resident Holders of Notes
Corporates
Payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer to corporates resident in Finland for tax purposes may be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of the Republic of Finland or by any municipality or other political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
Individuals and Estates
Interest and index compensation (FI: "indeksihyvitys") paid to individuals or estates resident in Finland are generally subject to tax withholding on interest income. Interest compensation (FI: "jälkimarkkinahyvitys) paid to individuals or estates resident in Finland is generally subject to advance withholding of income tax. Payments classified as capital gains for Finnish income tax purposes are not subject to tax withholdings.
The tax withholding liabilities should primarily lie with a possible paying agent or other intermediary (such as a financial institution) effecting the payment to the holder of notes, if the paying agent or intermediary is resident in Finland for tax purposes or the payment is made through a Finnish permanent establishment of a non-resident paying agent or intermediary.
Finnish transfer tax
No Finnish transfer tax shall be levied on any transfers of the notes.
S-34
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that holds its notes as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) and that purchases the notes in the initial offering and at the "issue price" (as defined below). This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, rulings, judicial decisions and administrative pronouncements, all as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or changes in interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect.
This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may apply to holders that are subject to special tax rules, including persons who have ceased to be U.S. citizens or to be taxed as resident aliens, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, banks and certain financial institutions, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, securities-broker dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, traders in securities that mark to market, dealers in securities, persons holding their notes as part of a straddle, hedging transaction or conversion transaction, persons subject to the Medicare tax on net investment income, or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. These holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below.
For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of notes who is (a) a citizen or individual resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or District of Columbia, (c) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust if a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid election is in place to treat such trust as a U.S. person. If any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership that holds notes is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.
The "issue price" of a note is equal to the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold for money other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers.
This discussion does not address any U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Notes. In addition, this discussion does not address any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as the estate and gift tax. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific Finnish and U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of notes in light of their particular circumstances as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other relevant taxing jurisdiction.
Payments of Interest
Payments of interest on a note will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are received or are accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder's method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Interest paid on a note generally will constitute foreign-source income. For purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, interest generally will be treated as "passive category" income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, "general category" income. The rules relating to foreign tax credits and the timing thereof are complex, and U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability
S-35
of a foreign tax credit and the application of the foreign tax credit limitations to their particular situation.
Sale, Exchange, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition
Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, if any, which will be taxable as ordinary interest income in accordance with the U.S. Holder's method of tax accounting) and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the note (generally its cost to such U.S. Holder). Any such gain or loss generally will be U.S.-source capital gain or loss, and will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the note has been held for more than one year at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition. Capital gains recognized by an individual U.S. Holder generally are subject to U.S. federal income taxation at preferential rates if certain minimum holding periods are met. The deductibility of capital losses for U.S. Holders is subject to significant limitations.
Tax Return Disclosure Requirements
Certain U.S. Holders may be required to report information relating to an interest in the notes, subject to certain exemptions (including an exemption for notes held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, to their tax return for each year in which they hold an interest in the notes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this requirement to their ownership and disposition of the notes and the significant penalties for noncompliance.
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments of interest on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the notes may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Backup withholding will not apply to a holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number or certificate of foreign status and makes any other required certification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. persons who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). Non-U.S. holders generally will not be subject to U.S. information reporting or backup withholding. However, these holders may be required to provide certification of non-U.S. person status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable or successor form) in connection with payments received in the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder's U.S. federal income tax liability. A holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the notes if they purchase any of the notes.
Notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed 0.250% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes and 0.300% of the principal amount of the 2027 notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed 0.150% of the principal amount of the 2022 notes and 0.200% of the principal amount of the 2027 notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.
The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the notes). We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses.
|
Paid by Nokia | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Per 2022 note |
0.400 | % | ||
Per 2027 note |
0.500 | % |
We estimate that our expenses to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the notes, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $1,170,000.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases.
S-37
Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the notes to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.
We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
Other Relationships
The underwriters are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and their respective affiliates have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. In addition, affiliates of some of the underwriters are lenders, and in some cases agents or managers for the lenders, under our credit facility. Some of the underwriters are also acting as dealer managers in the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. A typical such hedging strategy would include these underwriters or their affiliates hedging such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The addresses of the underwriters are: Barclays Capital Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019; Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013; Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198; J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179.

In the year ended December 31, 2016, the actual total cost savings benefitted from lower incentive accruals, related to the financial performance in year ended December 31, 2016. Lower incentive accruals drove more than half of the higher than previously expected decrease in total costs in 2016, and this is expected to reverse in 2017, assuming full year 2017 financial performance in-line with our expectations. On a cumulative basis, Nokia continues to be well on track to achieve the targeted EUR 1.2 billion of total cost savings in full year 2018.
Other information
We seek to maintain total cash of approximately 30% of net sales over time and pay dividends (taking into account cash position and cash flow generation) approximating 40-70% of profit attributable to equity holders of the parent excluding costs related to the Alcatel-Lucent transaction and related integration, goodwill impairment charges, intangible asset amortization and purchase price related items, restructuring and associated charges, and certain other items.
As of November 2016, our primary addressable market in 2016including mobile radio network, fixed access network, core network and IP routing, and analyticsincreased to around EUR 113 billion, an almost 50% increase relative to the slower-growing addressable market we faced before the Alcatel Lucent addition. Our primary addressable market was estimated to be EUR 110 billion in 2017 and EUR 120 billion in 2021. Nokia's adjacent addressable market size was approximately EUR 18 billion in 2016, and estimated to grow to EUR 20 billion in 2017 and EUR 32 billion in 2021.
Financial discussion
Net sales
Year-on-year discussion
Nokia net sales decreased 2% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The year-on-year decrease in net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to Nokia's Networks business, partially offset by higher net sales in Nokia Technologies and Group Common and Other.
9
Operating profit
Year-on-year discussion
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the decrease in Nokia's operating loss compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, partially offset by a net negative fluctuation in other income and expenses.
The increase in gross profit compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the absence of a purchase price allocation cost related to the valuation of inventory and, to a lesser extent, higher gross profit in Nokia Technologies. This was partially offset by lower gross profit in Nokia's Networks business.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were approximately flat compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to lower R&D expenses in Nokia's Networks business, partially offset by higher product portfolio integration costs.
The decrease in SG&A expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to lower transaction and integration costs, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses in Nokia Technologies.
Nokia's other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 69 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to an expense of EUR 52 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net negative fluctuation was primarily related to higher restructuring and associated charges, partially offset by Nokia's Networks business and Group Common and Other.
(Loss)/Profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent
Year-on-year discussion
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the decrease in Nokia's loss attributable to the equity holders of the parent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to lower operating loss, partially offset by higher taxes, a net negative fluctuation in non-controlling interests and a net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses.
The net negative fluctuation in financial income and expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to costs related to Nokia's tender offer to repurchase the 6.75% notes due February 4, 2019, the 6.50% debentures due January 15, 2028 and the 6.45% debentures due March 15, 2029. The purpose of these transactions was to optimize Nokia's debt maturity profile, to lower average interest expense run rate and to eliminate subsidiary level external debt. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2017 was negatively affected by foreign exchange fluctuations, partially offset by the absence of costs related to the early redemption of Alcatel-Lucent high yield bonds in the first quarter of 2016 and a net positive fluctuation in other financial income and expenses.
The higher taxes compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 were primarily due to tax expenses of EUR 245 million related to the integration of the former Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia operating models.
The net negative fluctuation in non-controlling interests compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily related to a non-recurring income in a partly-owned subsidiary in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Acquisition of Comptel Corporation
On February 9, 2017 Nokia announced that it had entered into a transaction agreement with Comptel Corporation under which Nokia, through its wholly owned indirect subsidiary Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy, undertook to make a voluntary public cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Comptel not owned by Comptel, in order to advance Nokia's software strategy and provide service providers with a comprehensive solution to design, deliver, orchestrate and assure communications and digital services across physical, virtual and hybrid networks. The tender offer valued Comptel at approximately EUR 347 million, on a fully diluted basis, and resulted in Nokia consolidating Comptel as of March 30, 2017. Together with open market purchases, Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy held approximately 96.95% of all Comptel shares as of April 24, 2017.
The acquisition of Comptel is part of Nokia's strategy to build a standalone software business at scale by expanding and strengthening Nokia's go-to-market capabilities with a software-dedicated sales force and strong partner network. The acquisition of Comptel also supports Nokia's desire to build a software portfolio that allows customers to automate as much of their network and business operations as possibleincluding customer services, self-optimization, management and orchestration.
Comptel is a long-time Nokia partner. It is a listed Finnish company, founded in 1986, with approximately 800 employees in 32 countries. Comptel has completed over 1,400 customer projects in more than 90 countries. It processes 20 percent of the world's mobile usage data every day, orchestrates communications and digital services for more than two billion end-users daily and its largest customer has around 300 million subscribers. In 2016, Comptel's net sales were EUR 100 million with an 11% operating margin. The company's major sites are in Finland, Bulgaria, Malaysia, India, the United Kingdom and Norway.
It is Nokia's intention to acquire all the shares and option rights in Comptel. As the ownership in Comptel exceeds nine-tenths (9/10) of the shares and voting rights in Comptel, Nokia has filed an application to initiate compulsory redemption proceedings for the remaining Comptel shares under the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act and intends to redeem the remaining option rights in accordance with their terms and conditions.
Changes in reporting structure, effective from April 1, 2017
On March 17, 2017, Nokia announced changes in its organizational structure designed to accelerate the execution of its strategy, including strengthening Nokia's ability to deliver strong financial performance, drive growth in services, meet changing customer demands in mobile networks, achieve cost savings and ongoing transformation goals, and enable strategic innovation across Nokia's Networks business, effective April 1, 2017.
These organizational changes include the separation of Nokia's Mobile Networks business group into two distinct, but closely linked, organizations: one focused on products and solutions, called Mobile Networks, and the other on services, called Global Services.

Net sales
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, Ultra Broadband Networks net sales decreased 4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The year-on-year decrease in Ultra Broadband Networks net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to Fixed Networks and, to a lesser extent, Mobile Networks.
15
The net sales performance in Fixed Networks was in comparison to a particularly strong three months ended March 31, 2016, which was driven by high order intake in the fourth quarter 2015. The decrease in Fixed Networks net sales was primarily due to broadband access and, to a lesser extent, services and digital home. The year-on-year decrease was primarily related to two specific customers, with one customer completing a large project in Asia-Pacific and another customer reducing its level of spending in Latin America. For broadband access, the decrease was primarily related to Asia-Pacific. For services, the decrease was primarily related to Europe. For digital home, the decrease was primarily related to Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
The slight decrease in Mobile Networks net sales was primarily due to services, partially offset by advanced mobile networks solutions and radio networks. From a growth perspective, small cells continued to deliver strong performance on a year-on-year basis. For services, the decrease was primarily related to Europe, Latin America and North America. For advanced mobile networks solutions, the increase was primarily related to North America. For radio networks, the increase was primarily related to North America, partially offset by Europe, Greater China, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Operating profit
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, Ultra Broadband Networks operating profit increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily due to lower R&D expenses, higher gross profit and a net positive fluctuation in other income and expenses.
The increase in Ultra Broadband Networks gross profit compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to Mobile Networks, partially offset by Fixed Networks. The increase in gross profit in Mobile Networks compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher gross margin related to regional mix, with a higher proportion of net sales in North America, and business mix, with a lower proportion of services in the overall sales mix. The decrease in gross profit in Fixed Networks compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to lower net sales, with gross margin remaining solid on a year-on-year basis.
The decrease in Ultra Broadband Networks R&D expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to Mobile Networks, partially offset by Fixed Networks. The decrease in Mobile Networks R&D expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to lower personnel expenses, primarily reflecting progress related to Nokia's cost savings program. The increase in Fixed Networks compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher spending related to the cable access market, including the acquisition of Gainspeed in the third quarter 2016. To drive growth and higher returns, expanding to the cable access adjacency is a key priority for Fixed Networks.
Ultra Broadband Networks other income and expenses was an expense of EUR 5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to an expense of EUR 14 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. On a year-on-year basis, the change was primarily related to doubtful account allowances in Mobile Networks.

Net sales
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, IP Networks and Applications net sales decreased 10% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The year-on-year decrease in IP Networks and Applications net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to IP/Optical Networks.
The net sales performance in IP/Optical Networks was in comparison to a particularly strong three months ended March 31, 2016, which was driven by high order intake in the fourth quarter 2015. The decrease in IP/Optical Networks net sales was primarily due to weakness in the communication service provider market for both IP routing and optical equipment. For IP routing, the decrease was primarily related to North America, Europe and Latin America, partially offset by growth in Greater China. In addition, IP routing net sales were negatively affected by lower resale of third party IP routers. For optical networks, the decrease was primarily related to Europe, Latin America and Middle East and Africa, partially offset by growth in Asia-Pacific.

Net sales
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, Nokia Technologies net sales increased 25% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Of the EUR 247 million of net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017, EUR 231 million related to patent and brand licensing and EUR 16 million related to digital health and digital media.
The year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily related to higher net sales related to an IPR license agreement that was expanded in the third quarter 2016, our brand partnership with HMD, non-recurring net sales primarily related to a new license agreement in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the acquisition of Withings in the second quarter 2016. This was partially offset by the absence of licensing income related to certain expired agreements and lower licensing income from certain existing licensees. The vast majority of the net sales related to the new license agreement in the first quarter of 2017 were non-recurring in nature and related to prior periods. Approximately one third of the overall year-on-year increase in Nokia Technologies net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to non-recurring net sales.
Operating profit
In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the increase in Nokia Technologies operating profit compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A and R&D expenses.
The increase in Nokia Technologies gross profit compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher net sales, partially offset by lower gross margin. The lower gross margin was primarily due to a higher proportion of digital health and digital media net sales, which carries a lower gross margin than patent and brand licensing.
The slight increase in Nokia Technologies R&D expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the ramp-up of our digital health and digital media businesses, including the acquisition of Withings, partially offset by lower patent portfolio costs.
The increase in Nokia Technologies SG&A expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to increased licensing-related litigation costs and higher marketing costs related to our digital health business.

The purpose of these transactions was to optimize Nokia's debt maturity profile, to lower average interest expense run rate and to eliminate subsidiary level external debt.

Consolidated statement of cash flows combines cash flows from both the continuing and the discontinued operations. The figures in the consolidated statement of cash flows cannot be directly traced from the statement of financial position without additional information as a result of acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and net foreign exchange differences arising on consolidation.
Alcatel-Lucent ordinary shares and ADS's and OCEANEs acquired in cash by Nokia subsequent to the closing of the reopened exchange offer are presented within cash flow from financing activities as purchases of equity instruments of subsidiaries and repayment of long-term borrowings, respectively.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statement information of Nokia has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting"). This condensed financial statement information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB. The same accounting policies, methods of computation and applications of judgment are followed in this financial statement information as was followed in the financial statements for 2016, except as described below in relation to the revised allocation methodology and changes to presentation of certain hedging gains and losses.
This financial report was authorized for issue by management on April 26, 2017.
Nokia has reviewed the allocation of expenses across functions and segments, and as of the first quarter 2017, a more activity-based allocation method has been adopted which resulted in changes in presentation of certain expenses by both function and segment. In addition, related to the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia's foreign exchange hedging activities were reviewed in order to develop harmonized hedging practices. As of the first quarter 2017, all gains and losses from hedging operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures are recorded in other income and expenses, regardless of whether hedge accounting is applied or not. Previously, these hedging gains and losses were recorded primarily as an adjustment to net sales if cash flow hedge accounting was applied. Impact of these adjustments are not considered to be material.
Networks business' sales are affected by seasonality in the network operators' spending cycles, with generally higher sales in the fourth quarter, as compared to the first quarter of the following year.
Percentages and figures presented herein may include rounding differences and therefore may not add up precisely to the totals presented and may vary from previously published financial information.
New and amended standards and interpretations adopted
On January 1, 2017, Nokia adopted amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments to IAS 7 are part of the IASB's Disclosure Initiative and help users of financial statements better understand changes in an entity's debt arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The amendments to IAS 12 relate to potential restrictions of tax laws to sources of taxable profits against which an entity may make deductions on the reversal of deductible temporary difference as well as provide additional guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits. The amendments did not have a material impact on Nokia's consolidated financial statements.
Standards issued but not yet effective
Nokia expects to adopt IFRS 9, Financial instruments and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers when they become effective on January 1, 2018. Both standards are expected to be relevant to Nokia's operations and financial position. The implementation projects are underway and progressing as planned. Refer to Note 2, Significant accounting policies in Nokia's Annual Report for 2016 for details of the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements upon initial application of the standards.
Nokia expects to adopt IFRS 16, Leases on the effective date of January 1, 2019. Nokia has started to analyze contracts containing identified assets and estimates that the standard will mainly

Exchange rates
Nokia is a company with global operations and net sales derived from various countries and invoiced in various currencies. Therefore, our business and results from operations are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the euro, our reporting currency, and other currencies, such as the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. To mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates on our results, we hedge operative forecasted net foreign exchange exposures, typically within a 12-month horizon, and apply hedge accounting in the majority of cases.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION (unaudited)
Nokia has two businesses: Nokia's Networks business and Nokia Technologies, and three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (1) Ultra Broadband Networks and (2) IP Networks and Applications within Nokia's Networks business; and (3) Nokia Technologies. Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented.
Nokia has aggregated Fixed Networks and Mobile Networks operating segments to one reportable segment Ultra Broadband Networks and IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics operating segments to one reportable segment IP Networks and Applications. The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics, such as long-term margins; have similar products, production processes, distribution methods and customers; and operate in a similar regulatory environment.
The chief operating decision maker receives monthly financial information for the operating and reportable segments. Key financial performance measures of the reportable segments include primarily net sales and operating profit. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the segments and allocates resources to them based on segment operating profit.
Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant accounting policies of our Annual Report for 2016. Inter-segment revenues and transfers are accounted for as if the revenues were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.
Ultra Broadband Networks
Ultra Broadband Networks comprises Mobile Networks and Fixed Networks operating segments.

The Fixed Networks operating segment provides copper and fiber access products, solutions and services. The portfolio allows for a customized combination of technologies that brings fiber to the most economical point for the customer.
IP Networks and Applications
IP Networks and Applications comprises IP/Optical Networks and Applications & Analytics operating segments.
The IP/Optical Networks operating segment provides the key IP routing and optical transport systems, software and services to build high capacity network infrastructure for the internet and global connectivity.
The Applications and Analytics operating segment helps service providers and enterprises become more digital. Its software and services help customers automate tasks, deliver the intelligence required to continuously improve decision making, and provide platforms capable of transforming business and operational models. The portfolio includes business support systems, operational support systems, service delivery platforms, network management, cloud technology, IoT, security and analytics software.
Nokia Technologies
The Nokia Technologies operating segment has two main objectives: to drive growth and renewal in its existing patent licensing business; and to build new businesses based on breakthrough innovation in key technologies and products, in the areas of Digital Media and Digital Health.
The majority of net sales and related costs and expenses attributable to licensing and patenting the separate patent portfolios of Nokia Technologies, Nokia's Networks business, and Nokia Bell Labs are recorded in Nokia Technologies. Each reportable segment continues to separately record its own research and development expenses.
Group Common and Other
Segment-level information for Group Common and Other is also presented. Group Common and Other includes the Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks and Radio Frequency Systems businesses, both of which are being managed as separate entities. In addition, Group Common and Other includes

5. ACQUISITIONS (unaudited)
During the first quarter, Nokia completed acquisitions that did not have a material impact to the consolidated statement of financial position, comprehensive income or cash flows. The provisional aggregate purchase price, aggregate net assets and aggregate goodwill amount to EUR 398 million, EUR 25 million and EUR 373 million, respectively. The purchase accounting for the acquisitions is ongoing and Nokia will conduct additional analysis that will result in adjustments in the subsequent quarters of 2017.
Deepfield Networks Inc
On January 31, 2017 Nokia acquired 100% ownership interest in Deepfield Networks Inc., a United States-based leader in real-time analytics for IP network performance management and security. The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to IP/Optical Networks.
Comptel Corporation
On February 8, 2017 Nokia and Comptel Corporation ("Comptel") entered into a Transaction Agreement where Nokia undertook to make a voluntary public cash tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Comptel that are not owned by Comptel, or any of its subsidiaries. The tender offer expired on March 29, 2017. The preliminary results of the tender offer were announced on March 30, 2017 and the final results on April 3, 2017. As part of the tender offer, Nokia acquired approximately 88.44% of all the shares and votes in Comptel (excluding the treasury shares held by Comptel) and approximately 83.34% of all the shares and votes of Comptel on a fully diluted basis. Nokia waived the Minimum Acceptance Condition of the tender offer and consolidated Comptel as of March 30, 2017.
Including the Comptel shares acquired through market purchases, as of March 31, 2017, Nokia held approximately 90.51% of all the shares and votes in Comptel (excluding the treasury shares held by Comptel) and approximately 85.30% of all the shares and votes of Comptel on a fully diluted basis. The additional Comptel shares acquired by Nokia through market purchases were accounted as separate transactions with non-controlling interests with any gain or loss recognized within Nokia's consolidated retained earnings.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to Applications and Analytics.
6. PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (unaudited)
Nokia operates a number of post-employment plans in various countries including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans include pension plans and post-retirement welfare benefit plans, providing post-retirement healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Defined benefit plans expose Nokia to actuarial risks such as investment risk, interest rate risk, and life expectancy risk. The characteristics and associated risks of the defined benefit plans vary depending on legal, fiscal, and economic requirements in each country.
95% of Nokia's defined benefit obligation and 97% of plan assets fair values were remeasured as of March 31, 2017. Nokia's pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States have been remeasured by updated valuations from an external actuary and Nokia's main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Belgium) have been re-measured based on a sensitivity analysis. The impact of not re-measuring other pension and post-employment obligations is considered not material.

7. DEFERRED TAXES (unaudited)
At March 31, 2017, Nokia had recognized deferred tax assets of EUR 5.6 billion. The recognition of deferred tax assets is based on offsetting deferred tax liabilities, earnings history and profit projections in the relevant jurisdictions. The majority of Nokia's recognized deferred tax assets relate to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in Finland (EUR 2.4 billion) and the United States (EUR 2.0 billion). Based on the recent years' profitability in Finland and the United States and the latest forecasts of future financial performance, Nokia has been able to establish a pattern of sufficient tax profitability in Finland and the United States to conclude that it is probable that Nokia will be able to utilize the tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences in the foreseeable future. In 2016, Finland incurred an accounting loss due to significant integration and restructuring costs following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, which may delay the utilization of the tax attributes in Finland.
In the first quarter 2017, in connection with the activities launched in the fourth quarter 2016 to integrate former Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent operating models, Nokia transferred certain intellectual property between its US and Finnish operations, recording a tax expense of EUR 245 million. These transactions reduced the deferred tax assets in the United States and increased the deferred tax assets in Finland.
At March 31, 2017, Nokia had unrecognized deferred tax assets of approximately EUR 6 billion related to unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences. The majority of the unrecognized deferred tax assets relate to France (approximately EUR 5 billion). These deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to uncertainty regarding their utilization. A significant portion of the French unrecognized deferred tax assets are indefinite in nature and available against future French tax liabilities, subject to a limitation of 50% of annual taxable profits.
At March 31, 2017, Nokia had deferred tax liabilities of EUR 0.4 billion. The majority of the deferred tax liabilities relate to the fair value adjustments on the purchase accounting of Alcatel-Lucent acquisition.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (unaudited)
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based on the amount of unobservable inputs used to measure their fair value. Three hierarchical levels are based on an increasing amount of judgment associated with the inputs used to derive fair valuation for these assets and liabilities; Level 1 being market values for exchange traded products, Level 2 being primarily based on quotes from third-party pricing services and Level 3 requiring most management judgment. For more information about the valuation methods and principles, refer to note 2, "Significant accounting policies" and note 24, "Fair value of financial instruments", of our Annual Report for 2016.

Changes in reporting structure
On March 17, 2017, Nokia announced changes in its organizational structure designed to accelerate the execution of its strategy, including strengthening Nokia's ability to deliver strong financial performance, drive growth in services, meet changing customer demands in mobile networks, achieve cost savings and ongoing transformation goals, and enable strategic innovation across Nokia's Networks business, effective April 1, 2017.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (unaudited) (Continued)
These organizational changes include the separation of Nokia's Mobile Networks business group into two distinct, but closely linked, organizations: one focused on products and solutions, called Mobile Networks, and the other on services, called Global Services. The new Global Services business group is comprised of the Global Services organization that resided within the Mobile Networks business group, including company-wide managed services. In the first quarter 2017, Global Services represented approximately 70% of total services net sales within the Networks business, with the remaining amounts reported within the net sales of the other Networks business groups. Starting from the second quarter 2017, Nokia will change its reporting structure to reflect the updated organizational structure and provide additional information on Global Services.
Comptel acquisition
The Group launched a subsequent offer period to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Comptel that are not owned by Comptel or any of its subsidiaries on April 4, 2017. The subsequent offer period expired on April 19, 2017 and the final results were announced on April 24, 2017. Based on the results of the subsequent offer period together with subsequent market purchases, the Group now holds 96.95% of all the shares and votes in Comptel (excluding the treasury shares held by Comptel). The Group filed a request to the Finnish Chamber of Commerce to initiate squeeze-out proceedings on April 7, 2017. The additional Comptel shares acquired by the Group as part of the subsequent offer period will be accounted as separate transactions with non-controlling interests with any gain or loss recognized within the Group's consolidated retained earnings.
