"The large-scale participation of our employees in the personnel share issue is a strong indication of our team's confidence in the company's strategy and future. Despite the epidemic, we decided to organise the issue as planned. Even though we have already achieved a great deal as a company, we feel that our story is just beginning. That is why it is great that a large number of our employees are becoming shareholders right now," says CEO Otto-Pekka Huhtala.
