This acquisition is part of Gofore’s strategy to expand its service offerings and market presence.
Directed Share Issue
In connection with the Huld acquisition, Gofore Oyj executed a directed share issue, as announced on September 1, 2025. This financial maneuver was part of the payment structure for the acquisition, indicating Gofore’s strategic use of equity to finance its expansion efforts.

Changes in Shareholding
