Explanatory Note

As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2024, Infinera Corporation ("Infinera") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Nokia Corporation ("Nokia") and Neptune of America Corporation ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Infinera (the "Merger"), with Infinera surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of Nokia.

In connection with the Merger, Nokia filed a registration statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 1, 2024, and amended that registration statement on August 16, 2024 (as amended, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement contained (1) a preliminary prospectus with respect to the Nokia ordinary shares to be issued in the Merger; and (2) a preliminary proxy statement of Infinera in respect of a special meeting of Infinera's stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on October 1, 2024 (the "Special Meeting"). The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on August 21, 2024. On August 21, 2024, Nokia and Infinera filed the definitive proxy statement and prospectus with the SEC (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus").

In connection with the Merger, three complaints have been filed. One complaint was filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Alcantar v. Infinera Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:24-cv-05979 (filed August 26, 2024). Two complaints were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and are captioned Williams v. Infinera Corporation, et al., Index No. 654775/2024 (filed September 12, 2024) and Jones v. Infinera Corporation, et al., Index No. 654784/2024 (filed September 13, 2024). The complaint filed in California federal court alleges that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is materially incomplete and misleading in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The complaints filed in New York state court allege that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is materially incomplete and misleading and assert claims for negligent misrepresentation, concealment and negligence in violation of New York common law. The three complaints are referred to collectively as the "Merger Actions." The Merger Actions name as defendants Infinera and members of Infinera's Board of Directors (the "Infinera Board"). The Merger Actions seek, among other relief, corrective disclosures, an injunction of the Merger, rescission or rescissory damages (if the Merger is consummated), damages and attorneys' fees.

In addition, Infinera has received multiple demand letters from purported stockholders of the Company (the "Demand Letters"), each of which make similar allegations to those in the Merger Actions regarding the purported deficiencies and/or incomplete information in the preliminary proxy statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or both.

Infinera believes that the disclosures set forth in the preliminary proxy statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply fully with all applicable law and that the allegations contained in the Merger Actions and Demand Letters are without merit. However, in order to moot the purported stockholders' unmeritorious disclosure claims, alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and provide additional information to its stockholders, Infinera has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with certain supplemental disclosures set forth below (all such disclosures, the "Supplemental Disclosures"). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K. To the contrary, Infinera specifically denies all allegations by the purported stockholders in the Merger Actions and Demand Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required or material. The Supplemental Disclosures will not affect the timing of the Special Meeting.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY.

The paragraph on page 117 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that begins "Centerview applied the EV / Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range . . ." is amended as follows:

Centerview applied the EV / Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range to Infinera's calendar year 2025 estimated Adjusted EBITDA of $237 million, as set forth in the Infinera Forecasts, to derive a range of implied enterprise values for Infinera. Centerview subtracted from this range of implied enterprise values the book value of Infinera's net debt (including an adjustment for cash settlement of convertible notes, with the settlement amount inclusive of a step up from the make-whole fundamental change provision as of the March 31, 2025 illustrative transaction close per Infinera management and the effects of the associated capped call transactions), as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data to derive a range of implied equity values for Infinera. Centerview then divided this range of implied equity values by the number of fully-diluted outstanding shares of Infinera Common Stock, calculated based on approximately (i) 235.1 million basic shares outstanding; (ii) 15.1 million shares subject to Infinera RSUs outstanding; and (iii) 4.0 million shares subject to Infinera PSUs outstanding (calculated based on target payout) (excluding dilution from convertible notes) as of June 26, 2024, as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Infinera Common Stock. Centerview also applied the Price / Adjusted EPS multiple reference range to Infinera's calendar year 2025 Adjusted EPS of $0.46, as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Infinera Common Stock.

The paragraph on page 119 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that begins "Based on its analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the companies …" is amended as follows:

Based on its analysis of the relevant metrics for each of the companies included in the selected transactions, Centerview selected an EV / LTM Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range of 10.0x to 12.0x (the "EV / LTM Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range"). In selecting this reference range, Centerview made qualitative judgments based on its experience and professional judgment concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Infinera and the companies included in the selected transactions and other factors that could affect the public trading, acquisition or other values of such companies or Infinera. Centerview applied the EV / LTM Adjusted EBITDA multiple reference range to Infinera's estimated LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of June 26, 2024 of $144 million, as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to calculate a range of implied enterprise values of Infinera. Centerview subtracted from this range of implied enterprise values the book value of Infinera's net debt (including an adjustment for cash settlement of convertible notes, with the settlement amount inclusive of a step up from the make-whole fundamental change provision as of the March 31, 2025 illustrative transaction close per Infinera management and the effects of the associated capped call transactions), as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied equity values for Infinera. Centerview then divided this range of implied equity values by the number of fully-diluted outstanding shares of Infinera Common Stock, calculated based on approximately (i) 235.1 million basic shares outstanding; (ii) 15.1 million shares subject to Infinera RSUs outstanding; and (iii) 4.0 million shares subject to Infinera PSUs outstanding (calculated based on target payout) (excluding dilution from convertible notes) as of June 26, 2024, as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Infinera Common Stock of $3.75 to $4.75, rounded to the nearest $0.25. Centerview then compared these ranges to the closing price of Infinera Common Stock on June 26, 2024 of $5.18 per share and to the value of the implied Merger Consideration of $6.65 per share of Infinera Common Stock.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

The paragraph on page 119 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that begins "In performing this analysis, Centerview calculated the estimated present value …" is amended as follows:

In performing this analysis, Centerview calculated the estimated present value of the unlevered free cash flows of Infinera reflected in the Infinera Forecasts for the years from 2024 through 2033. The terminal value of Infinera at the end of the forecast period was estimated by using perpetuity growth rates ranging from 1.0 percent to 3.0 percent, which perpetuity growth rates were based on considerations that Centerview deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience. The unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value using discount rates ranging from 12.00 percent to 14.50 percent. This range of discount rates was determined based on Centerview's analysis of Infinera's weighted average cost of capital and other considerations that Centerview deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience. Based on its analysis, Centerview calculated a range of implied enterprise values of Infinera. Centerview subtracted from this range of implied enterprise values the book value of Infinera's net debt (including an adjustment for cash settlement of convertible notes, with the settlement amount inclusive of a step up from the make-whole fundamental change provision as of the March 31, 2025 illustrative transaction close per Infinera management and the effects of the associated capped call transactions), as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied equity values of Infinera. Centerview then divided this range of implied equity values by the number of fully-diluted outstanding shares of Infinera Common Stock, calculated based on approximately (i) 235.1 million basic shares outstanding; (ii) 15.1 million shares subject to Infinera RSUs outstanding; and (iii) 4.0 million shares subject to Infinera PSUs outstanding (calculated based on target payout) (excluding dilution from convertible notes) as of June 26, 2024, as set forth in the Infinera Internal Data, to derive a range of implied values per share of Infinera Common Stock of $4.75 to $7.25, rounded to the nearest $0.25. Centerview then compared these ranges to the closing price of Infinera Common Stock on June 26, 2024 of $5.18 per share and to the value of the implied Merger Consideration of $6.65 per share of Infinera Common Stock.

Equity Interests of Infinera's Directors and Executive Officers

Footnote 5 to the table beginning on page 172 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended as follows:
