The shares in BRAIN FORCE HOLDING AG offered for exchange will be issued either completely from the holding of own shares, or partly from this source and partly from a share loan. The shares are thus already admitted to trading on the Regulated Market and a section of the Regulated Market with additional permission requirements (Prime Standard) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as well as the Prime Market segment (official trading) on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
