At Marimekko Corporation's Annual General Meeting, held today, and at the

A. THE RESOLUTIONS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

income statement and balance sheet for 2014 were adopted. 

Payment of the dividend

The General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to pay a dividend
of EUR 0.35 per share for the 2014 financial year. The dividend will be paid to
shareholders who are registered on the dividend payout record date of 13 April
2015 in the company's Shareholder Register kept by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The

Discharge from liability

The members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO of the company

The annual remuneration payable to the members of the Board was approved as
follows: EUR 40,000 to the Chairman, EUR 30,000 to the Vice Chairman and EUR
22,000 to the other members of the Board. According to the resolution by the
Annual General Meeting, approximately 40% of the annual remuneration will be
paid in Marimekko Corporation's shares acquired from the market and the rest in
cash. The shares will be acquired directly on behalf of the Board members
within two weeks from the release of the interim report for 1 January - 31
March 2015 or, if this is not possible considering the insider rules, as soon
as possible thereafter. It was also resolved that persons who have a full-time
employment or service relationship with the company receive no remuneration for
their board membership or chairmanship. Thus, Mika Ihamuotila as Chairman of
the Board of Directors will not be paid the above-mentioned annual
remuneration. 

It was further resolved that no separate remuneration be paid for committee
work to persons elected to any committee. In the remuneration payable to the
Vice Chairman of the Board, the possible acting as the Chairman of the Audit
