The following changes have been made to the areas of responsibility and composition of Vincit's Leadership Team:
Jens Krogell has been appointed Chief Growth Officer at Vincit. Krogell has most recently served as the Head of Vincit's Nordic operations.

Ville Vakkilainen has been appointed Director of Vincit’s Data & AI business area and member of the Extended Leadership Team as of September 1, 2025. Vakkilainen moves to Vincit from Innofactor, where he worked for over 12 years in several leadership positions, most recently as AI Director.

Change negotiations to support the streamlining of business area structures
Vincit initiates change negotiations on August 21, 2025, concerning its Commerce, Core, and Data & AI businesses. The change negotiations involve 113 persons. The negotiations primarily focus on role changes, which aim at transferring personnel from non-billable roles to billable roles and eliminating overlapping roles between business areas.
The change negotiations are estimated to last until September 1, 2025, and to result in up to 9 employment terminations. The changes are estimated to result in one-off costs of EUR 0.1 million and expected to generate approximately EUR 0.8 million in direct annual cost savings starting from the last quarter of 2025.
The change negotiations will not affect the guidance Vincit provided in its half-year report regarding revenue and relative profitability for 2025.
