cent) of whom worked in Finland, 29 per cent (7 per cent) in Sweden, 58 per cent (79 per
cent) in Russia and 2 per cent (3 per cent) in the Baltic countries. The numbers

period.
Pharmaceutical Trade Finland had 492 (405) employees at the end of June 2010.
Oriola-KD’s logistics centres are located in Espoo and Oulu. The increase of personnel
is mainly due to recruitments to replace leased work force, labour intensive new
products and the provision of certain transitional services in relation to the
divestment of the Healthcare Trade.

256.9 million), of which retail accounted for EUR 166.3 million (EUR 0.0 million) as of

cent in January-June 2010 (some 30 per cent), which together with the price control
system has led to very intense competition. Oriola-KD’s net sales increased by about 8
per cent (35 per cent) in Russian rubles in January-June 2010.
Second-quarter net sales came to EUR 132.8 million (EUR 106.6 million), of which retail

Risks
The Board of Directors of Oriola-KD has approved the company’s risk management policy in
which the risk management operating model, principles, responsibilities and reporting
are specified. The Group’s risk management seeks to identify, measure and manage risks
that may threaten the operations of the company and the achievement of goals set for
them. The roles and responsibilities relating to risk management have been determined in
the Group.
Oriola-KD’s risks are classified as strategic, operational and financial. Risk
management is a key element of the strategic process, operational planning and daily
decision-making at Oriola-KD.
Oriola-KD has identified the following principal strategic and operational risks in its
business:
*
changes in bargaining position vis-à-vis suppliers and customers;
*
impacts of the changes in Pharmaceutical Trade Sweden on business;
*
impacts of the changes in Pharmaceutical Trade Russia on business;
*
maintenance of cost-effectiveness and flexibility in costs;
*
provision of competitive products and services in expanding and consolidating markets;
and
*
commitment of key employees.
The major financial risks for Oriola-KD involve currency exchange rates, interest rates,
liquidity and credit.
Oriola-KD’s exposure to risks relating to businesses and financial risks has increased
with the expansion into the Russian pharmaceutical retail and wholesale market and the
Swedish pharmaceutical retail market. Currency risks are the most significant of
Oriola-KD’s financial risks in Russia and Sweden, as any changes in the value of the
Russian ruble or the Swedish krona will have an impact on Oriola-KD’s financial
performance and equity.
Goodwill and intangible rights are subject to annual impairment testing, which may have
a negative effect on Oriola-KD’s financial performance.
Near-term risks and uncertainty factors
The difficult state of the Russian economy, intense competition and the price control
system have a material impact on Oriola-KD near-term outlook in the country. The
development of the Swedish pharmacy market is subject to uncertainties that may have a
substantial effect on Oriola-KD’s Swedish business.

The Board was authorised, in accordance with its proposal, to decide on the payment of
additional dividend from undistributed profits and/or distribution of funds, in one or
more batches, from the company’s invested non-restricted equity fund or both so that the
amount of the additional dividend and/or return of capital paid under the authorisation
would not exceed EUR 0.05 per share. The authorisation will be in force until the next
annual general meeting.
The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the Board comprises eight members. Harry
Brade, Pauli Kulvik, Outi Raitasuo, Antti Remes, Olli Riikkala, Jaakko Uotila and Mika

time of the notice of general meeting be amended.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on the purchase of Oriola-KD
Corporation class B shares in accordance with the Board’s proposal. Pursuant to the
authorisation, the Board is authorised to decide on the purchase of no more than
15,000,000 of the company’s own class B shares, corresponding to approximately 9.92 per
cent of the total number of company shares. The authorisation can only be used in such a
way that the company and its subsidiaries together would hold no more than one tenth
(1/10) of the total number of company shares at any one time. The purchase authorisation
would remain in force no longer than eighteen (18) months following the decision of the
General Meeting. The authorisation revokes the Annual General Meeting’s decision of 16
April 2009 authorising the Board to decide on the purchase of Oriola-KD Corporation
class B shares.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on a share issue of the
company’s shares against payment in one or more batches in accordance with the Board’s
proposal. The authorisation includes the right to issue new class B shares or to assign
class B shares held by the company. The authorisation covers no more than thirty million
(30,000,000) of the company’s class B shares in total, which corresponds to
approximately 19.83 per cent of the total number of company shares. The authorisation
granted to the Board includes the right to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription
right of shareholders, provided that there are financial grounds considered important
from the company’s perspective for such a deviation. The authorisation will remain in
force for eighteen (18) months following the decision of the General Meeting. The
authorisation revokes the share issue authorisations previously received by the Board,
with the exception of the authorisation granted to the Board by the Annual General
Meeting of 13 March 2007, under which the Board may decide on arranging a directed bonus
issue of no more than 650,000 class B shares for the purpose of implementing the
2007-2009 share-based incentive scheme for management.
The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board to decide on granting the company’s
shares to the company in one or more batches under a bonus issue in accordance with the
Board’s proposal. The maximum amount of the company’s new B class shares issued under
this authorisation is 1,200,000, which was 0.79 per cent of the company’s total shares
and 0.11 per cent of total votes. The purpose of the authorisation is to allow treasury
shares to be used as laid out below in the new share-based incentive scheme or Oriola-KD
key persons. The Board was also authorised to issue class B shares, waiving the
pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders according to the Board’s proposal.
The class B shares issued may be either new or treasury shares. The total share amount
of the authorisation is 1.200.000 class B shares. The share issue may be a bonus issue.
These shares represent approximately 0.79 per cent of the total number of company shares
and approximately 0.11 per cent of the total number of votes. The Board may use this
authorisation in the new 2010-2012 share-based incentive scheme or Oriola-KD key
persons. The authorisations remain in force for no more than four (4) years following
the decision of the General Meeting.

and growth prospects are expected to be favourable in the pharmaceutical market.
Oriola-KD expects that the pharmaceutical market in Finland and Sweden will grow by
about 3-5 per cent annually over the next few years in the local currencies, which is in
line with the longer-term average growth rate of these markets. The Russian
pharmaceutical market is expected to see annual growth of approximately 10-15 per cent
in Russian rubles in the next few years. The growth of the Russian pharmaceutical market
in 2010 is expected to be significantly slower than in the long term, mainly because of
the difficult state of the Russian economy, very intense competition and the price
control system. Competition in the Swedish retail market is expected to be stiff in 2010
as a result of the deregulation.
Oriola-KD’s net sales from its continuing operations for 2010 is forecasted to be higher
than in 2009 and operating profit is forecasted to be lower than in 2009. Pharmaceutical
Trade Russia’s operating profit is forecasted to be clearly lower than in 2009.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS DISCLOSURE
Acquisition of national pharmacy chain in Sweden (Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB)
Oriola-KD announced in November 2009 that it would acquire 100 per cent of the shares of
Pharmacy Company Sweden 2 AB, a national pharmacy cluster with 170 pharmacies. The
transaction was executed in February 2010. The acquired pharmacy business covers only
retail activities. The transaction does not include any contingent considerations.
Entering the pharmaceutical retail business in Sweden is an important part of
Oriola-KD’s strategy to expand the operations from pharmaceutical wholesale to retail.
The acquisition cost is calculated on the basis of the company’s provisional balance
sheet as per 19 February 2010 prepared in accordance with IFRS and the Oriola-KD Group’s
accounting principles in respect of all material elements. The provisional balance sheet
and acquisition cost calculation are unaudited.
The acquisition is accounted for using provisional values as permitted under IFRS 3R.
Over the 12 months following the acquisition, Oriola-KD will make the necessary
adjustments to these provisional values. The fair value of the identifiable fixed assets
was 8.6 million euros and inventory 22.2 million euros. These figures are provisional
figures and the values might be adjusted during 2010.
The fair value of trade receivables and other receivables is 50.9 million euros and it
does not include any material risk.
The initial purchase price allocation calculation calculated in Swedish crowns has been
translated into euros by using the exchange rate of acquisition date.
The financial result and the balance sheet of the acquired company has been consolidated
into the Oriola-KD Group from the acquisition date, i.e. 19 February 2010.
Business combinations disclosure under IFRS 3 (revised)
The 101.3 million euro goodwill arising from the acquisition is primarily representing
the strong market position, growth expectations, opportunities after monopoly
deregulation and experienced existing personnel as well as expected synergies with
Oriola-KD’s sizeable wholesale operations in Sweden. None of the goodwill is deductible
for income tax purposes.
The following table summarises the consideration paid for the pharmacy cluster and the
amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the acquisition
date, as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of the non-controlling
interest.
