Combination of Shares and Related Directed Share Issue Without Consideration, Redemption and Cancellation of Shares

 

Digitalist Group Plc (“Digitalist Group” or the “Company”) has, on the previously announced combination date of 15 August 2025, implemented the combination of the Company’s shares, i.e. the reduction of the number of shares, as well as the related directed share issue without consideration, redemption of shares and cancellation of shares. Following the combination of shares, the Company’s new total number of shares is 2,773,721. The new number of shares has today, 16 August 2025, been registered with the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, and trading in the Company’s shares with the new total number of shares will commence on Monday, 18 August 2025, on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd under the new ISIN code FI4000591698. The Company’s trading code DIGIGR will remain unchanged.

 

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 13 August 2025 resolved on the combination of shares and the related redemption of shares so that after the combination of shares, one (1) share in the Company corresponds to every 250 shares in the Company. In connection with the implementation of the combination of shares, the Board of Directors resolved to implement the directed share issue without consideration resolved by the Extraordinary General Meeting, in which the Company has transferred without consideration in total 636,238 of its own shares held by the Company, so that the number of shares recorded in each book-entry account holding shares in the Company is divisible by 250. The total market value of the shares transferred without consideration, based on the closing price on 15 August 2025, was approximately 11,706.78 euros.

 

Following the directed share issue, the Company has redeemed without consideration 249 shares for each 250 shares in the Company, in accordance with the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The shares of the Company redeemed in connection with the combination of shares have been cancelled immediately. In addition, in connection with the combination of shares, a total of 205 of the Company’s own shares held by the Company were cancelled in order for the number of the Company’s own shares held by the Company and the total number of shares in the Company to be divisible by 250. Following the combination of shares, Digitalist Group holds 28,114 of its own shares.

 

The purpose of the combination of shares is to improve the prerequisites for trading in the Company’s shares by increasing the value of an individual share and to enhance the formation of the share price. The procedure relating to the combination of shares is described in more detail in the stock exchange release published by Digitalist Group on 13 August 2025 concerning the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

In accordance with the provisions of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act regarding related party transactions, the members of the Board of Directors of Digitalist Group, Paul Ehrnrooth and Peter Eriksson, did not participate in the decision-making concerning Turret Oy Ab in relation to the combination of shares.
