MULTITUDE SE: Distribution of Own Shares to Employees Based on Matching Share Plan Vesting

Helsinki, 2 October 2023 – Multitude SE (ISIN: FI4000106299, WKN: A1W9NS) (“Multitude” or “the Group”) is pleased to announce distributing the second batch of shares from the Matching Share Plan (“MSP”) to its employees.

In line with keeping employee and shareholder incentives aligned, the Group launched a Matching Share Plan in Q3 2021. The plan allowed employees to invest up to 10% of their annual gross salary in Multitude shares. The total potential investment of 10% was split into two rounds of up to 5%, which the Group committed to matching for free at a 1:1 ratio after a vesting period of two years, providing that participating employees have held the shares and been employed by Multitude during the entire holding period without interruptions.

Shaun Vella, Chief HR Officer, said, “We are pleased to welcome the active participation of our employees to the Matching Share plan.  It is a testament to the trust and commitment that unite us on our path to realising our shared vision.”

A total of 15,667 of the Group’s treasury shares are conveyed without consideration, according to the Q3/2021 MSP terms. The original uptake was 62 employees, and 49 employees were eligible at the moment of grant. The directed share issue is based on an authorisation by the Annual General Meeting held on 27 April 2023.

Following the directed share issue, the treasury shares now stand at 105,836 or 0.49% of the total shares outstanding.
