The Board of Directors' resolution to implement the share buy-back program was made after the Board's review of the Company's capital structure and was implemented for the purposes of reducing the capital of the Company.

The share buy-back program is carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation").

The Company today announces that share buy-backs of shares in the Company (ISIN: JE00BLD8Y945) have been effected as set forth below (aggregated level):

The Company notes that the Nasdaq Stockholm Rulebook for Issuers of Shares states that "the issuer's purchase or sale of own shares may not exceed 25% of average daily turnover on the exchange" during the 20 days preceding the date of such purchase. The Company operates under a more conservative threshold of 15% of average daily turnover. On 29 March 2023, the Company briefly exceeded its internal threshold by 15 shares, which were then sold prior to market close in order to remain within its internal parameters.

All share buy-backs have been carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm Market by the Company. Following the above repurchases, the Company's holding of own shares as of 31 March 2023 amounts to 352,481 shares. The total number of shares in CoinShares amounts to 68,135,425.
