GFT Technologies SE: Announcement pursuant to Art. 5 (1) (a) of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (‘MAR’) and Art. 2 (1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1052 (‘Delegated Regulation’)

The share buyback program announced by GFT Technologies SE (‘Company’) in an ad hoc announcement on March 27, 2025 (‘Share Buyback Program’) will be continued in a second tranche starting on July 28, 2025. In the period up to October 14, 2025 at the latest (‘Purchase Period’), shares of the Company (ISIN DE0005800601) are to be purchased via the stock exchange for a total purchase price of up to EUR 9,100,465.41 (excluding incidental acquisition costs). Based on the XETRA closing price on July 24, 2025 (EUR 18.56), this corresponds to up to 490,326 shares or up to 1.86% of the share capital. The share buyback program is to have a total volume of up to EUR 15,000,000.00, whereby a maximum of 2,632,594 shares may be repurchased (corresponding to just under 10% of the share capital).

The Administrative Board is exercising the authorization to acquire treasury shares newly granted by the Company's Annual General Meeting on June 5, 2025 (‘Authorization 2025’). It replaces – with no change in content – the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on June 24, 2020 (‘Authorization 2020’), insofar as this has not already been utilized. Accordingly, the company is authorized to acquire treasury shares from June 24, 2025, until the end of June 4, 2030, up to a total of 10% of the share capital existing at the time of the resolution or, if lower, at the time of exercising the authorization. As part of the first tranche of the share buyback program announced on March 27, 2025, 245,154 shares were acquired in the period from April 15, 2025, to May 28, 2025, exercising the 2020 authorization, at a total purchase price of EUR 5,899,534.59 (excluding incidental acquisition costs).

The 2025 authorization may be exercised by the Company in whole or in part, once or several times, for any permissible purpose. The purchase price paid by the Company per share (excluding incidental acquisition costs) may not exceed or fall below the price determined by the opening auction on the XETRA trading system (or a comparable successor system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the trading day by more than 10%.

The Company may use the repurchased shares for any purpose in accordance with the 2025 authorization.

The repurchase shall be carried out in accordance with Articles 5, 14, and 15 MAR in conjunction with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation, with the exception of the restriction to one of the purposes specified in Article 5 (2) MAR.

The acquisition of treasury shares will be carried out by GFT Technologies SE through an independent credit institution. The credit institution has undertaken to GFT Technologies SE to carry out the repurchase in accordance with the above provisions and in accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of GFT Technologies SE on June 5, 2025.

The credit institution shall make its decisions on the timing of the acquisition of shares in GFT Technologies SE in accordance with Article 4(2)(b) of the Delegated Regulation independently and without influence from GFT Technologies SE. The credit institution is obliged to acquire the shares at market prices in accordance with the trading conditions set out in Article 3 of the Delegated Regulation. In particular, the shares of GFT Technologies SE will not be acquired as part of the buyback at a price higher than the last independently concluded transaction or (if higher) the highest independent bid on the XETRA trading system. Furthermore, no more than 25% of the average daily trading volume of GFT Technologies SE shares on the XETRA trading system shall be acquired on any trading day. The average daily trading volume shall be calculated on the basis of the average daily trading volume during the 20 trading days prior to the respective purchase date. The share buyback program may be suspended and resumed at any time during the acquisition period, if necessary and legally permissible.

Information on transactions related to the share buyback program will be disclosed in a timely manner, in both detailed and aggregated form, no later than the end of the seventh trading day following the date of execution of the relevant transactions. In addition, GFT Technologie SE will publish the announced transactions on its website www.gft.com in the ‘Investor Relations’ section in accordance with Art. 2 (3) of the Delegated Regulation and make them publicly available for at least five years from the date of announcement.
