On 31 December 2017, the parent company's distributable funds amounted to EUR
19,194,424.94 of which EUR 4,948,190.32 was profit for the financial year. The
Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of
EUR 0.50 per share be paid for the year 2017, i.e. a total of EUR 4,044,805,
and that the remaining funds be retained in equity. The Board of Directors

the dividend payout record date of 16 April 2018 in the company's Shareholder

Marimekko Corporation. The Board of Directors proposes 23 April 2018 as the
dividend payout date. No substantial changes in the company's financial
position have occurred after the end of the financial year. The company's
liquidity is good and, in the view of the Board of Directors, the proposed
dividend payout does not jeopardise the company's solvency. 

9. Resolution on the discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the
President and CEO of the company from liability 

10. Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

Shareholders representing in total approximately 28% of all of the company's

of the Audit and Remuneration Committee  consisting of members independent of
the company and its shareholders, they propose to the Annual General Meeting
that the fees payable to the members and the Chairman of the Board would remain
unchanged from 2017 and be as follows: an annual remuneration of EUR 40,000
would be paid to the Chairman, EUR 30,000 to the Vice Chairman and EUR 22,000
to the other Board members. 

In addition it is proposed that no separate remuneration be paid for the
committee work to the persons elected to any committee. In the remuneration
proposed to the Vice Chairman of the Board the possible acting also as the
Chairman of the Audit and Remuneration Committee has been taken into account. 

The above mentioned shareholders propose, on the basis of the proposal of the
Audit and Remuneration Committee, that approximately 40% of the annual
remuneration would be paid in Marimekko Corporation's shares acquired from the
market and the rest in cash. The annual remuneration would be paid in cash in
its entirety, if a Board member on the date of the Annual General Meeting, 12
April 2018, holds company's shares in worth of more than EUR 500,000. The
shares would be acquired directly on behalf of the Board members within two
weeks from the release of the interim report for 1 January - 31 March 2018 or
if this would not be possible taken into account the insider rules, as soon as
possible thereafter. 

If Mika Ihamuotila is elected to the Board of Directors and to the Chairman of
the Board of Directors as proposed in the section 12 of this notice, he will
receive additionally to the annual remuneration a monthly compensation of EUR
8,800 on the basis of a separate service agreement due to his full-time
chairmanship from the date of 12 April 2018. The Audit and Remuneration
Committee evaluates the conditions of the above mentioned service agreement.

Arthur Engel, Mika Ihamuotila, Mikko-Heikki Inkeroinen, Helle Priess and
Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén be re-elected to the Board of Directors until

and Elina Björklund as Vice Chairman of the Board as well as Elina Björklund as

In accordance with the recommendation of the Audit and Remuneration Committee,
the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the
Auditor's remuneration be paid according to invoice approved by the company. 

14. Election of the Auditor

In accordance with the recommendation of the Audit and Remuneration Committee,
the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that KPMG Oy Ab,
Authorized Public Accountants, is elected as the company's auditor. KPMG Oy Ab

15. Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the
Company's own shares 

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board be authorised by the Annual
General Meeting to decide on the acquisition of a maximum of 100,000 of the
company's own shares, which represents approximately 1.2 % of the total number
of the company's shares at the time of the proposal, in one or more
instalments. The shares would be acquired with funds from the company's
unrestricted equity, which means that the acquisition would reduce funds
available for distribution. The shares would be acquired otherwise than in
proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders through public trading on
the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. at the market price prevailing at the time of
acquisition in accordance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Helsinki
Ltd. The shares would be acquired in order to be used as a part of the
company's incentive compensation program, to be transferred for other purposes
or to be cancelled. The authorisation is proposed to include the right of the
Board of Directors to decide on all of the other terms and conditions of the
acquisition of the shares. The authorisation is proposed to be valid for
eighteen (18) months from the decision of the Annual General Meeting. 

16. Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on directed share issue

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board be authorised by the Annual
General Meeting to decide on a share issue, against consideration in deviation
from the shareholder's pre-emptive right, directed to the company's personnel
or other personnel groups designated by The Board of Directors, including the
freelance designers, in one or more instalments. The total number of new shares
to be offered for subscription pursuant to the authorisation may not exceed
150,000 shares, which represents approximately 1.9% of the total number of the
company's shares at the time of the proposal. The authorisation is proposed to
include the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all of the other terms
and conditions of the share issue. The authorisation is proposed to remain in
