As SoftwareOne has its registered office in Switzerland, where its shares are also listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, the Norwegian takeover rules in Chapter 6 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (Nw. verdipapirhandelloven) do not apply to SoftwareOne. Accordingly, the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Nw. Finanstilsynet) does not have supervisory authority in respect of any takeover offer concerning SoftwareOne. This deviates from the stance taken by SoftwareOne, as reflected in section 17.9 of the combined offer document and prospectus dated 14 March 2025. Pursuant to the opting-up clause in SoftwareOne’s articles of incorporation, a mandatory public takeover offer for SoftwareOne under the Swiss takeover rules is triggered only if a shareholder, alone or acting in concert with others, exceeds 49% of the voting rights, as permitted by Article 135 of the Swiss Financial Market Infrastructure Act.
