Media Release Stans, Switzerland, 1 April 2024 – SoftwareOne Holding AG, a leading global software and cloud solutions provider, noted the voting recommendations of proxy advisor ISS for the company’s upcoming AGM. ISS supports the proposal of the Company’s Board of Directors. ISS, a global provider of independent and objective shareholder meeting research and recommendations, recommends voting FOR all nine nominees proposed by the Board of Directors, including three non-independent nominees representing the 29% block shareholders group. ISS recommends to vote AGAINST the full replacement of the Board of Directors as proposed by the 29%-block shareholders. The ISS report further classifies all nominees of the block shareholders as non-independent. The Board of Directors thus sees its position confirmed, that a balanced board would be in the best interests of all stakeholders. This would also help restore calm to the company and allow management to focus on leading it, meeting its growth and profitability objectives, and implementing Vision 2026.   CONTACTS Anna Engvall, Investor Relations Phone [phone], [e-mail] FGS Global, Media Relations Phone [phone], [e-mail]   ABOUT SOFTWAREONE SoftwareOne is a leading global software and cloud solutions provider that is redefining how organizations build, buy and manage everything in the cloud.
