Change in the Chair of the Board of Directors of Alma Media Corporation

ALMA MEDIA CORPORATION    STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE    28 April 2026 at 4 pm EET 

Change in the Chair of the Board of Directors of Alma Media Corporation

The Board of Directors of Alma Media Corporation has reorganised. Alexander Lindholm has been elected Chair of the Board, and Catharina Stackelberg-Hammarén, who previously served as Chair, has been elected Vice Chair of the Board. 

The change follows the arrangement announced by Otava Oy on 24 February 2026, under which Otava agreed to acquire a total of 700,000 shares in Alma Media Corporation and, as a result of the transaction, obtained de facto control of Alma Media. Completion of the transaction was subject to approval by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA). 

Based on its investigation, the FCCA has on 28 April 2026 approved the transaction. According to the FCCA's assessment, the transaction does not raise competition concerns in any of the markets reviewed. 

Following completion of the share transaction, Otava's holding in Alma Media will increase to a total of 33,008,246 shares, corresponding to approximately 40.07 per cent of all shares and votes in Alma Media Corporation. 

Alma Media Corporation will continue to operate as an independent, publicly listed company.
