Cargotec Corporation's Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting
has in its organising meeting elected Ilkka Herlin to continue as Chairman of
the Board. Tapio Hakakari was elected as Vice Chairman.

The Board of Directors considers all members to be independent of the company
and all except Ilkka Herlin and Peter Immonen to be independent of major
shareholders. Tapio Hakakari was the interim President and CEO as of 8 October
2012 until 28 February 2013, but because the position was temporary, the Board
considers him to be independent of the company after the position has ended.

The Board decided to continue the practice that the members are to keep the
Cargotec shares they have obtained in   remuneration under their ownership for at
least two years from the day they obtained them. The shares will be purchased at
market price on a quarterly basis.

The Board of Directors elected among its members Ilkka Herlin, Teuvo Salminen
and Anja Silvennoinen as members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee.
Teuvo Salminen was re-elected as Chairman of the committee. The Board considers
that the membership of Ilkka Herlin, as a significant shareholder, in the
committee is warranted.

were elected to the Nomination and Compensation Committee. Ilkka Herlin was re-
elected as Chairman of the committee.

Outi Aaltonen, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, will continue as
