CoinShares announces share options buyback under its Employee Incentive Plan

15 August 2022 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF) (“CoinShares”), Europe's largest digital asset investment firm has agreed a buyback of CoinShares’ Chief Revenue Officer, Frank Spiteri’s options over one hundred and seventy one thousand (171,000) ordinary shares granted to him pursuant to the CoinShares Employee Incentive Plan, at a price of SEK 15 per share on 15 August 2022. This buyback constitutes 10% of Frank’s total share options.

CoinShares has evaluated all uses of its capital. As our stock is currently trading below book value, we think this is one of the best uses of our capital to enhance shareholder value.

This transaction forms part of an initiative under which all of CoinShares’ vested option holders are now eligible to request similar discretionary non-binding offers from CoinShares before exercising their options in the market.

Frank Spiteri is a person discharging managerial responsibility and is also a shareholder. The proposed transaction will therefore constitute a transaction between an Issuer and a closely related party.
