SoftwareOne shareholders elect Till Spillmann as new independent Chairman at the 2025 Annual General Meeting

Stans, Switzerland I 16 May 2025 – SoftwareOne Holding AG (SIX: SWON), a leading global software and cloud solutions provider, today announced that all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting were approved by shareholders. Till Spillmann was elected as new independent Chairman of SoftwareOne, succeeding Daniel von Stockar, who was re-elected as a member of the Board. A total of 100 shareholders and representatives of shareholders attended the meeting in Lucerne who, together with the independent proxy, represented 59.03% of the total share capital with a right to vote.

Following today’s AGM, the Board of Directors of SoftwareOne comprises Till Spillmann as independent Chairman, as well as Daniel von Stockar, Rene Gilli, Andrea Sieber and Jörg Riboni, who were all re-elected as members, each for a one-year term of office. In addition, Crayon co-founders Rune Syversen and Jens Rugseth, who were elected at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 11 April 2025, will join the Board as new members effective upon, and subject to, completion of the acquisition of Crayon.

Daniel von Stockar, member of the Board of Directors and outgoing Chairman of SoftwareOne, said “The past 24 years as Co-founder and Chairman were both exciting and challenging. Guiding the company from its founding through significant milestones – including the past five years as a public company and our transformation into a leading global provider of software and cloud solutions – has been an incredible journey, and it is deeply rewarding to see SoftwareOne now poised for a new future together with Crayon. This is the right moment for a transition, and I am pleased to hand over to Till Spillmann as our new independent Chairman. I am confident that he will lead with clarity and perseverance as SoftwareOne embarks on this next chapter.”

Till Spillmann, new Chairman of the Board of Directors of SoftwareOne, said “I am grateful to the shareholders, to Daniel and to the Board for the trust they have placed in me. It is a privilege to take on the role of independent Chairman at this pivotal time for SoftwareOne. The combination with Crayon represents a major opportunity to build a global leader in the fast-growing market for software, cloud, data and AI. On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone at SoftwareOne, I would like to thank Daniel for his relentless commitment as Chairman. As we continue to benefit from his deep experience, I look forward to working closely with all of the combined Board and leadership team as we shape the future of the company together.”
