The Offer will be conducted using the standard procedure in accordance with the provisions of Articles 232-1 et seq. of the AMF General Regulation. A separate offer is made in the United States, on financial conditions which are identical to those of this Offer, to all holders of American Depositary Shares of Alcatel Lucent listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "ALU" (the "ADSs") wherever they are located, as well as to all U.S. holders of Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs (the "U.S. Offer" and, together with the Offer, the "Offers").

In the ordinary course of business, Nokia and Alcatel Lucent each periodically reviews and evaluates industry developments and strategic options to enhance its respective shareholder value, including assessing potential strategic options and business acquisitions and combinations and engaging in preliminary discussions with other industry participants. On July 19, 2013, Stephen Elop, the then President and Chief Executive Officer of Nokia, and Michel Combes, Chief Executive Officer of Alcatel Lucent, met in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss various strategic options involving Nokia and Alcatel Lucent, including a potential combination of Nokia Solutions and Networks with Alcatel Lucent, or a potential combination of Nokia Solutions and Networks and Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. In August and September 2013, following the initial discussions between the Chief Executive Officers of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent, further meetings and telephone conversations were held involving Timo Ihamuotila, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, from Nokia and Jesper Ovesen, the then Executive Chairman of Nokia Solutions and Networks, and Philippe Camus, Chairman of the board of directors of Alcatel Lucent, Michel Combes and Jean Raby, Chief Financial and Legal Officer, from Alcatel Lucent. These discussions focused on high level issues with respect to a potential combination of Nokia Solutions and Networks and Alcatel Lucent, including various scenarios for the structuring of any such combination. The Nokia board of directors was updated on these discussions in its meetings on September 17 and 29, 2013. On October 2, 2013, Risto Siilasmaa, Chairman of the Nokia board of directors and Timo Ihamuotila met with Philippe Camus and Michel Combes in London, England, at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP ("Sullivan & Cromwell"), external legal advisor to Alcatel Lucent, with Philippe Camus participating via a video conference link from New York to discuss the potential combination of Nokia Solutions and Networks and Alcatel Lucent at a conceptual level. At this meeting, Nokia representatives indicated that timing of any discussions was not optimal from Nokia’s perspective given the then ongoing sale of Nokia’s Devices and Services business to Microsoft. Between October 2013 and March 2014, the Nokia board of directors received updates on the discussions with Alcatel Lucent representatives and discussed various strategic options available for Nokia Solutions and Networks in its meetings. Between October 2013 and May 2014, Nokia and Alcatel Lucent engaged in periodic contacts to assess willingness to reengage on discussions of a potential strategic transaction and continued high level discussions on possible transaction terms and structures during this period. On April 30, 2014, Nokia's board of directors met and reviewed in detail different strategic options for Nokia’s networks business. It was concluded that assets of Alcatel Lucent – either the wireless business or the entire Alcatel Lucent – constituted the best strategic fit for Nokia. Representatives of Nokia subsequently contacted representatives of Alcatel Lucent to re- engage on discussions of a potential strategic transaction. 3 In the summer of 2014, substantive discussions between Nokia and Alcatel Lucent resumed following a call between Timo Ihamuotila and Jean Raby, where Alcatel Lucent proposed to contribute its wireless business to Nokia Solutions and Networks in return for a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks. The scope of the contribution excluded legacy pension liabilities in the United States, which would have remained with Alcatel Lucent. There were no further discussions on a combination of Nokia Solutions and Networks and Alcatel Lucent. On July 29, 2014, a Nokia team led by Samih Elhage, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Operating Officer of Nokia Networks met with Alcatel Lucent representatives, including Jean Raby, Remi Thomas, Senior Vice President Mergers & Acquisitions of Alcatel Lucent, and Philippe Keryer, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of Alcatel Lucent, in Paris, France, to discuss at a high level the potential contribution of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia Solutions and Networks in return for a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks. On August 6, 2014, Timo Ihamuotila and Samih Elhage had a telephone conversation with Jean Raby concerning a potential contribution of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia Solutions and Networks in return for a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks. The discussion focused on the strategic rationale for such transaction and the potential structuring matters. Throughout August 2014, there were a series of telephone discussions involving representatives of Nokia, including Timo Ihamuotila and Samih Elhage, and representatives of Alcatel Lucent, including Jean Raby and Philippe Keryer, regarding the potential contribution of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia Solutions and Networks in return for a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks, particularly around the scope of the assets to be contributed, the terms of any non-compete and a strategic partnership in IP routing. Nokia and Alcatel Lucent concluded that it was not possible to arrive at satisfactory terms for the potential contribution of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia Solutions and Networks in return for a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks, largely as a result of remaining overlap in the businesses and the potential conflicts created by Alcatel Lucent holding a minority interest in the enlarged Nokia Solutions and Networks business. Nokia and Alcatel Lucent agreed they would continue to explore other possible strategic transactions that would not raise similar concerns, including a sale of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia. On September 4, 2014, Nokia and Alcatel Lucent agreed to actively discuss a possible sale of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia and entered into a non-disclosure agreement. On September 15, 2014, Nokia representatives, including Timo Ihamuotila, Maria Varsellona, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Nokia and Samih Elhage met in London, England, with Jean Raby, Remi Thomas and Philippe Keryer, to discuss a potential sale of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia and the mechanics for a potential carve out of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business from the rest of Alcatel Lucent. Between September 15, 2014 and September 22, 2014, representatives of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent engaged in several telephonic discussions and exchanged emails with respect to a potential acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business by Nokia. The discussions focused on the carve out of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business from the rest of Alcatel Lucent and matters related to the treatment of Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell, Co. Ltd. (“ASB”), a joint venture between Alcatel Lucent and China Huaxin Post and Telecommunication Economy Development Center, in connection with a potential transaction between Nokia and Alcatel Lucent. 4 On September 22, 2014, Nokia representatives, including Samih Elhage, together with representatives of J.P. Morgan Limited ("J.P. Morgan"), financial advisor to Nokia, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ("Skadden Arps"), external legal advisor to Nokia, participated in an Alcatel Lucent management presentation in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., with respect to Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. The presentation was led by Dave Geary, Alcatel Lucent President of Wireless, Steven Sherman, Chief Financial Officer of Wireless and Remi Thomas, and was also attended by the representatives of Zaoui & Co. Ltd. ("Zaoui"), financial advisor to Alcatel Lucent, and Sullivan & Cromwell. On September 28, 2014, Rajeev Suri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nokia, called Michel Combes and indicated that, subject to the approval of the Nokia board of directors and other customary conditions, including completion of due diligence, Nokia would be prepared to submit a non-binding offer to purchase Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business for approximately EUR 600 million. Mr. Combes advised Mr. Suri that a purchase price of EUR 600 million would be insufficient for management to recommend the transaction to Alcatel Lucent’s board of directors, but that Alcatel Lucent would continue to negotiate and conduct due diligence exercises with a view to improving the terms of the transaction. Following further negotiations and due diligence, Nokia indicated that it would be prepared to offer up to EUR 1.1 billion for the purchase of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business, subject to the approval of the Nokia board of directors and other customary conditions, including completion of due diligence. On October 6, 2014, Nokia representatives, including Timo Ihamuotila and Samih Elhage, together with representatives of J.P. Morgan and Skadden Arps, participated in an Alcatel Lucent management presentation in Paris, France, at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell focusing on the carve-out of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. The presentation was led by Dave Geary and Remi Thomas, and was also attended by Jean Raby and the representatives of Zaoui and Sullivan & Cromwell. On October 13, 2014, the Nokia board of directors held a conference call meeting, where it resolved to authorize the management of Nokia to make a non-binding offer to acquire Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. On October 15, 2014, Nokia sent a letter to Alcatel Lucent with a non-binding indicative offer for the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. The letter offered to acquire Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business (with such scope as identified in the letter and including Alcatel Lucent's interest in the wireless business of ASB, but excluding Alcatel Lucent's interest in the non-wireless business of ASB) for EUR 1.15 billion cash payable at closing of the transaction plus EUR 250 million cash payable post-closing, subject to Nokia’s ability to repatriate certain cash funds held by Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. The letter included several assumptions and numerous conditions, including performance of a due diligence review of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business to Nokia’s satisfaction, the delivery to Nokia of a comprehensive plan for the carve out of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business from Alcatel Lucent, completion of the carve out in all material respects before closing of the transaction, negotiation of definitive documentation to implement the transaction, and closing conditions (including Nokia's request to condition the transaction on obtaining consent from key customers of Alcatel Lucent). Between October 19, 2014 and November 3, 2014, representatives of Nokia, including Timo Ihamuotila and Maria Varsellona, representatives of Alcatel Lucent, including Jean Raby and Remi Thomas, and the representatives of J.P. Morgan, Zaoui, Skadden Arps and Sullivan & Cromwell participated in a series of conference calls, discussing Nokia’s non-binding indicative offer letter and its terms and conditions. The discussions focused on Nokia’s indicative price, the process for carving out Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business from the rest of the company, the scope of and responsibility for regulatory conditions, and other closing 5 conditions (including Nokia's request to condition the transaction on obtaining consent from key customers of Alcatel Lucent). The discussion also focused on the process for carving out the wireless business of ASB from the rest of ASB, which would have required the consent of Alcatel Lucent's joint venture partner in ASB. On November 13, 2014, representatives of Sullivan & Cromwell sent to representatives of Skadden Arps the initial draft term sheet for a potential acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business by Nokia. On November 13, 2014, representatives of Nokia, J.P. Morgan and Skadden Arps met with the representatives of Alcatel Lucent, Zaoui and Sullivan & Cromwell in London, England, at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell to discuss the initial draft term sheet for a potential acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business by Nokia. The discussion focused on the conditions precedent for the signing of definitive documentation and closing of the transaction (including Nokia's request to condition the transaction on obtaining consents from key customers of Alcatel Lucent) and termination rights that may be available to either party, as well as the process for carving out Alcatel Lucent's wireless business from the rest of the company and the process for carving out the wireless business of ASB from the rest of ASB. On November 16, 2014, the Nokia board of directors held a conference call meeting, during which Nokia management briefed the board of directors on the progress in the negotiations to acquire the Alcatel Lucent wireless business. At the meeting, the Nokia board of directors resolved to authorize the management of Nokia to continue to engage with the representatives of Alcatel Lucent with respect to a potential acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business. On November 17, 2014, Rajeev Suri and Timo Ihamuotila met with Michel Combes and Jean Raby in Helsinki, Finland to discuss the material aspects of the draft term sheet for a potential acquisition of Alcatel Lucent’s wireless business by Nokia. The discussion focused on the purchase price adjustment mechanism, logistics of carving out the wireless business from Alcatel Lucent, the transaction timeline and transaction termination fees. Alcatel Lucent also proposed that the parties consider discussions on a potential full combination of the businesses of Nokia and Alcatel Lucent, but no substantive discussions on this potential combination occurred at this time.
