Nokia Corporation reported a routine change in its own shares related to employee incentives. The company transferred 84,979 Nokia shares held in treasury, without consideration, to participants in its equity-based incentive plans, following an earlier Board resolution from November 22, 2024. These shares were used to settle commitments under the plans rather than being sold on the market.
