We have previously announced that our shareholder Sonera Holding BV had filed a lawsuit requesting the addition of a new item to the agenda of our extraordinary general assembly to be held on August 11, 2011, pertaining to “the removal and election of one or more board members”, and also requested a provisional order for the extraordinary general assembly not be convened until the court decision is taken and to reschedule the meeting to a later date.
