16 May 2025 17:30 CEST

Stans, Switzerland I 16 May 2025 – SoftwareOne Holding AG (SIX: SWON), a leading
global software and cloud solutions provider, today announced that all proposals
put forward by the Board of Directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting were
approved by shareholders. Till Spillmann was elected as new independent Chairman
of SoftwareOne, succeeding Daniel von Stockar, who was re-elected as a member of
the Board. A total of 100 shareholders and representatives of shareholders
attended the meeting in Lucerne who, together with the independent proxy,
represented 59.03% of the total share capital with a right to vote.

Following today’s AGM, the Board of Directors of SoftwareOne comprises Till
Spillmann as independent Chairman, as well as Daniel von Stockar, Rene Gilli,
Andrea Sieber and Jörg Riboni, who were all re-elected as members, each for a
one-year term of office. In addition, Crayon co-founders Rune Syversen and Jens
Rugseth, who were elected at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 11 April 2025,
will join the Board as new members effective upon, and subject to, completion of
the acquisition of Crayon.

Daniel von Stockar, member of the Board of Directors and outgoing Chairman of
SoftwareOne, said “The past 24 years as Co-founder and Chairman were both
exciting and challenging. Guiding the company from its founding through
significant milestones – including the past five years as a public company and
our transformation into a leading global provider of software and cloud
solutions – has been an incredible journey, and it is deeply rewarding to see
SoftwareOne now poised for a new future together with Crayon. This is the right
moment for a transition, and I am pleased to hand over to Till Spillmann as our
new independent Chairman. I am confident that he will lead with clarity and
perseverance as SoftwareOne embarks on this next chapter.”

Till Spillmann, new Chairman of the Board of Directors of SoftwareOne, said “I
am grateful to the shareholders, to Daniel and to the Board for the trust they
have placed in me. It is a privilege to take on the role of independent Chairman
at this pivotal time for SoftwareOne. The combination with Crayon represents a
major opportunity to build a global leader in the fast-growing market for
software, cloud, data and AI. On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone
at SoftwareOne, I would like to thank Daniel for his relentless commitment as
Chairman. As we continue to benefit from his deep experience, I look forward to
working closely with all of the combined Board and leadership team as we shape
the future of the company together.”

Shareholder also approved all other proposals put forward by the Board of
Directors at today’s AGM. A dividend of CHF 0.30 per registered share will be
