Gofore Plc Board of Directors’ decisions on the employee share savings program
The Board of Directors of Gofore Oyj has today made a decision regarding the acquisition of savings shares for the employee share savings program for all employees in 2025 through a directed issue, as well as the payment of additional shares for the corresponding program of 2023.
The aim of Gofore's incentive systems is to align the goals of the company, shareholders, and staff in order to increase the company's value in the long term and to engage Goforeans in working for the company.
Acquisition of shares in CrewShare 2025
The Gofore Plc Board of Directors has decided to issue a total of 58,545 new shares for the acquisition of savings shares under the CrewShare share savings program 2025, based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 11 April 2025.
The new shares will be acquired with the savings of participants in the share savings program for the second half of the program, covering the period from 1 September 2025 to 28 February 2026. The subscription price of the shares is 10,5692 euros per share, corresponding to the company's volume-weighted average price of the shares from 1 February to 28 February 2026, reduced by a 10 percent discount granted by Gofore on the subscriptions.
The new shares are expected to be registered in the Trade Register on 30 March 2026, and trading in the new shares on the main market of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd is expected to commence on 31 March 2026. The subscription prices of the shares will be recorded in full in the company’s invested unrestricted equity fund.
CrewShare 2023 payment of additional shares
The two-year ownership period for additional shares entitled to employees who participated in Gofore's CrewShare share savings program for the 2023 savings period has ended in February 2026.
At the end of the two-year share ownership period, Gofore provides employees who participated in the program with a gross salary of one additional share for every three shares purchased with the savings, in addition to performance-based additional shares earned by the participants. The condition for receiving additional shares is that the participant owns the shares acquired throughout the entire ownership period and that their employment with Gofore has not ended before the completion of the ownership period.
Gofore will use its own shares in payment of additional shares and performance-based additional shares, totaling 17,011 shares of Gofore Plc, plus the cash portion of the reward.
The rewards of the systems will be paid partly in shares of Gofore Plc and partly in cash. The cash portions of the rewards are intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions incurred by the participants. If a participant's employment or employment relationship ends before the payment of the reward, the reward will generally not be paid.
The total number of the company’s shares after the payment of the rewards and the registration of the new shares is 16,299,968 shares.
