Nixu Corporation, the European cybersecurity services company, announced on March 27, 2019, the establishment of the All-Employee Matching Share Plan 2019–2021.

The previous personnel share issue was in 2016 and many Nixuans already were owners.

I’m especially happy to note, that over half of our newly joined Danish team wanted to become owners in Nixu”

Determined increase of employee ownership is a way of rewarding our personnel and at the same time get them interested in the growth strategy of Nixu and its financial success – in Nixu everyone can become a partner”, Kairinen continues.
It is estimated that the shares subscribed for in the share issue will be entered into the Trade Register on week 28, at the same time an application will be made for the shares to be admitted to public trading at Nasdaq Helsinki.
