Gofore Plc’s directed share issue for the transfer of savings shares in employee share savings plan

As a part of the Gofore Group’s employee share savings plan, CrewShare, Gofore Plc’s Board of Directors has resolved today 14 September 2021 to issue a total of 19,854 new shares. The share issue is based on the authorisation by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 26 March 2021.

In September 2018, Gofore Plc’s Board of Directors resolved to launch a new employee share savings plan for the Group employees. In the employee share savings plan, the participants have an opportunity to save a proportion of their salaries and use the savings amounts for the acquisition of Gofore shares at a reduced price (savings shares). The plan is described in more detail in the company announcement published on 28 September 2018 (https://newsclient.omxgroup.com/cdsPublic/viewDisclosure.action?disclosureId=856977&lang=en).

On 16 February 2021 Gofore Plc’s Board of Directors resolved on the new plan period 2021–2022 of the share savings plan. The details of the new plan period were mainly conformed to follow the previous plan periods’ particulars. The details are described in more detail in the company announcement published on 16 February 2021 (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-archive/2175993/11469/en/Gofore-Plc-Gofore-Plc-resolved-to-launch-a-new-plan-period-in-the-employee-share-savings-plan.html/timezone/W.%20Europe%20Standard%20Time?dateformat=dd+MMMM+yyyy+HH%3amm%3ass).

The new shares are savings shares acquired for the participants in the plan with the participants’ savings accrued during 1 March—31 August 2021. The shares have been subscribed for at a price of EUR 18,2588 per share, which is based on the trade volume weighted average share price at the official market administered by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during 1—31 August 2021 with a 10% discount.
