THE DECISIONS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF F-SECURE CORPORATION

Espoo, Finland - April 3, 2001

The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of F-Secure Corporation held on April 3, 2001 made among others the following decisions.

The financial statements for the fiscal year 2000 were confirmed and the proposal by the Board of Directors not to declare any dividends to the shareholders was accepted. The members of the Board of Directors, deputy member and the managing director were granted a release from liability for the financial year 2000.

The members of the previous Board of Directors were re-elected, i.e., Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo (Chairman), Jari Puhakka Kaj-Erik Relander, Risto Siilasmaa and Christopher Vargas. Ari Hyppönen continued as a deputy member.

Furthermore, the annual general meeting accepted the Board proposal to authorize the Board for a period of one year from the general meeting to decide on an increase of share capital by one or more new issue of shares or by issuing one or more convertible bonds, option loans or option rights. The share capital of the company may, as a result of such share issues, option loans, option rights or convertible bonds, be increased at the most by 280,000 euros. New shares may be issued up to maximum of 28,000,000. To the extent the authorization is used to create incentive systems for the personnel of the group, the share capital may increase by a maximum of 70,000 EUR, in which case a maximum amount of 7,000,000 shares may be issued.

The Board may deviate from the subscription rights of the shareholders. This deviation is for the purpose that the company may finance possible strategically important acquisitions by way of share issues or strengthen the financing or capital structure of the company or create incentive programs for Group's employees. The subscription price is determined by the Board so that it is at minimum the counter book value of the share. To the extent the authorization is used to create incentive systems for the personnel of the Group, the subscription price is determined by the Board of Directors so that it is based on the market price of the share. The Board may accept as payment also a set-off or in-kind contribution. This new authorization replaces the previously valid authorization.

In addition the annual general meeting accepted the Board proposal to change the item II.4. (Prohibition to transfer) in the option program 1999III (USA). The item II.4. will be changed so that the warrants are freely transferable after they have become open for share subscription. Renewed conditions are as an appendix.
