Safe Harbor Statement

Forward Looking Statements

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” and information which are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations of the management of Nokia and Siemens and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained herein include statements about the expected timing and scope of the merger of Nokia’s and Siemens' communications service provider businesses, anticipated growth potential and earnings enhancements, estimated operating margin and profitability levels, sources, timing and amount of estimated cost synergies, estimated cash flow generation, leadership and market position, future product portfolio, geographic coverage and customer base, future investments in technologies and services and all other statements in this presentation other than historical facts. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements typically containing words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “forsee”, “target”, “estimate”, “designed”, “plans”, “will” or words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the conditions to the merger and closing of the transaction, and Nokia’s and Siemens' ability to successfully integrate the operations and employees of their respective communications service provider businesses, as well as additional factors relating to, for example, developments in the mobile communications industry, changes in technology and the ability to develop or otherwise acquire complex technologies as required by the market with full rights needed to use, timely and successful commercialization of new advanced products and solutions, intensity of competition and various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained in Nokia’s and Siemens' filings with the SEC, which are available on their respective website, www.Nokia.com and www.Siemens.com, and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Neither Nokia nor Siemens undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required. In addition to "forward-looking statements", this presentation also includes certain terms like "joint venture", "partnership" or words of a similar nature describing the new company, or the new companies, resulting from the merger, which words are used in this presentation in their generic sense and the common language meaning and do not imply, or intend to imply, any specific legal, tax, accounting or other regulatory or officially standardized definition or meaning.
