* The figures concern past levels of interest on members’ capital and wood trade-based profit distribution determined in 2022, based on which no reliable assumptions can be made about future levels of interest on members’ capital or wood trade-based profit distribution. Taxes have not been taken into account in the table. The volumes of industrial roundwood received from members in the last four calendar years are taken into account in Metsäliitto’s wood trade-based profit distribution. The example calculation of wood trade-based profit distribution is based on the assumption that the member has sold the indicated average volume of wood (m3) in every calendar year preceding profit distribution. Metsäliitto Cooperative’s Representative Council annually determines the profit distribution based on a proposal from the Board of Directors. No guarantee can be given on profit distribution.
** When investing in Metsä1 additional shares, owner-members accumulate equity bonuses, which – in the two calendar years following the year of subscription – they can use to subscribe for more Metsä1 additional shares with their wood trade income at a discounted rate of 85 per cent of the subscription price. The remainder of the subscription price is paid by Metsäliitto Cooperative in the form of a capitalisation issue. If an owner-member withdraws a Metsä1 additional share subscribed for with equity bonuses prior to the end of the restriction period, only the portion paid by the member will be returned to them. ermines the profit distribution based on a proposal from the Board of Directors. No guarantee can be given on profit distribution.
