Stock Exchange Release 26 March 2021, at 8:15 a.m. (EET)

Sitowise Group Plc (the "Company") has today received a notification in accordance with the Chapter 9, Section 10 of the Finnish Securities Market Act from Intera Partners Oy ("Intera"), according to which Intera's indirect holding of the shares and votes of the Company decreased to 13.1 percent and Intera's holding through financial instruments increased above the threshold of 5 percent on 25 March 2021. The change was due to a share lending agreement signed by Intera Fund III Ky, a partnership ultimately controlled by Intera, and Danske Bank A/S, Finland Branch ("Danske") in connection with the Initial Public Offering of the Company on 25 March 2021, according to which Intera has lent 2,558,750 existing shares in the Company to Danske. Danske has an obligation to return the lent shares by 27 April 2021, unless Danske wholly or partially exercises its over-allotment option granted by Intera in connection with the initial public offering. The share lending did not affect the aggregate total holdings of Intera, which amounts to 7,092,130 shares including the lent shares.

The share capital of the Company consists in aggregate of 34,493,874 shares, each share entitling to one (1) vote. The amount of the shares of the Company does not include new shares issued in the personnel offering, which will be registered in the Trade Register on or about 14 April 2021.
