The shares are matching shares to be paid as a reward based on the plan’s savings period 2021–2022 (CrewShare 2021) and savings shares acquired with savings accumulated during the savings period 2023–2024 (CrewShare 2023). More detailed information about the plan and its savings periods were published in the company announcement on 28 September 2018 and the stock exchange release on 23 February 2023.

The share issue is based on the authorisation by the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2023.

A total of 39,059 shares are transferred to the CrewShare 2023 participants with the second savings set of the savings period 2023–2024, i.e. the savings accrued during 1 September 2023–29 February 2024. The shares have been subscribed for at a price of EUR 20.4924 per share, which is based on the trade volume weighted average share price at the official list of the Helsinki Stock Exchange administered by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during 1–29 February 2023 with a 10% discount.
