The Finnish TradeRegister has issued its permit for the Transfer on 20 May 2024. The Companyexpects that all other necessary consents and approvals for the Transferwill have been received and all conditions for the Transfer will have beenfulfilled or, where relevant, waived, by the Transfer Date.The Transfer will not affect the listing of the Company on the regulatedmarket (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Company shareswill continue to be listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and trading isexpected to continue without any interruptions. The ISIN of the shares willchange from the current Finnish ISIN to a new Maltese ISIN (MT0002810100).The new Maltese ISIN will be applied as of 1 July 2024.In connection with the Transfer, the Company's issuer central securitiesdepository ("Issuer CSD") will change from Euroclear Finland Oy ("EFi") tothe CSD operated by the Malta Stock Exchange ("MSE CSD") and, consequently,the Company's shares will be removed from the Finnish book-entry securitiesdepository maintained by EFi. As a result of this change, the MSE CSD willhold the Company's share register. No individual shareholders will beregistered with the MSE CSD, however. Instead, all the Company's shares willbe held through the international central securities depository ClearstreamBanking S.A., Luxembourg ("CBL") acting as a nominee.To facilitate the Transfer and the change of the Issuer CSD and to avoideven any temporary disruption in trading in the Company shares, the sharesthat are not yet held through CBL, acting, among others, for its sistercompany the German central securities depository Clearstream Banking AG,Frankfurt ("CBF", together with CBL, "Clearstream") will be transferred toCBL's account in EFi already prior to the Transfer Date. The transfers toClearstream are expected to take place at the latest before or during thelast week of June so that all shares will be held through CBL prior to theTransfer Date.The transfers to CBL's account in EFi will, in most cases, take placewithout any action required from the shareholders. However, in some casesshareholders may be contacted by their account operator or other custodianwith a request for action, in which case the Company asks its shareholdersto cooperate with the account operator or other custodian to ensure that theaccount operator or other custodian will be able to transfer the shares asdescribed above. Failure to transfer the shares to Clearstream prior to theTransfer Date may result in the shareholder not being able to exercise theirshareholder rights in the Company after the Transfer Date until they havearranged the custody of their shares with a custodian bank affiliated withCBF or CBL.Finnish book-entry accounts maintained in EFi's book-entry system are notcapable of being used for holding the Company shares after the Transfer andthe change in the Issuer CSD. For shareholders currently holding theirshares on Finnish book-entry accounts this means that the shares will ceaseto be registered on the shareholder's book-entry account and, instead of abook-entry account, must be held in custody through Clearstream. As providedin the Board of Director's Report dated 17 January 2024, the Transfer mayhave implications for the shareholders e.g. in the form of additional costsincurred as a result of the transfer of the shares and the shares being heldthrough Clearstream.As communicated by the Company on 5 January 2024, the Transfer is the firstphase in the Company's contemplated relocation to Switzerland. After theTransfer, the Company is planning a conversion into a public limitedliability company governed by the laws of Malta pursuant to Article 66 ofthe SE Regulation followed by a redomiciliation to Switzerland pursuant toapplicable Maltese and Swiss laws.Contact:Lasse MäkeläChief Strategy and IR OfficerPhone: +41 79 371 34 17E-Mail: Lasse.makela@multitude.comAbout Multitude SE:Multitude is a listed European FinTech company, offering digital lending andonline banking services to consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, andother FinTechs overlooked by traditional banks.
