In September 2018, Gofore resolved to launch a new employee share savings plan for the Group employees.

The plan is described in more detail in the company announcement published on 28 September 2018.
The new shares are savings shares acquired for the participants during the first phase of the new plan period with the participants’ savings accrued during 1 March 2019-31 August 2019. The Board of Directors resolved on the new plan period on 13 February 2019. The shares have been subscribed for at a price of approximately EUR 7.03 per share, which is based on the trade volume weighted average share price on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during 1 August-31 August 2019 with a 10 per cent discount.
The new shares have been entered into the Trade Register today. Trading on the new shares at the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland market is expected to begin on 27 September 2019.
