Espoo, Finland - Nokia plans to align its research and development
(R&D) operations in Finland and Denmark to be in line with the
company's focused portfolio of future products. The planned changes
are expected to affect up to 230 employees at Nokia's Oulu site in
Finland and approximately 100 employees at Nokia's Copenhagen site.
The total number would represent approximately 2 % of Nokia's R&D
personnel globally.

Nokia aims to support the employees with alternative solutions, such
as finding new positions within the company for as many employees as
possible. Nokia will begin consultations with employee
representatives about these plans where voluntary severance packages
among other topics will be discussed.

Nokia maintains a strong R&D presence in both sites; the company has
over 2 000 employees in Oulu and over 1 000 employees in Copenhagen.
Overall, Nokia has more than 17 000 people employed in its research
and development activities.
