u-blox welcomes Spectrum Entrepreneurial Ownership as anchor shareholder

Thalwil, Switzerland – 15 November 2023 – u-blox (SIX: UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning technologies, through its Board of Directors and Executive Committee welcomes Spectrum Entrepreneurial Ownership (SEO) as long-term anchor shareholder. SEO started building their stake some time ago and yesterday crossed the 5% reporting threshold. This was also due to the acquisition of treasury shares held by u-blox. As a result, SEO is now the company's largest shareholder.

André Müller, Chairman of the Board of Directors of u-blox, commented: "A long-term committed, anchor shareholder is important for the stable development of u-blox. In addition, we appreciate the exchange with the professional SEO team."

Fabian Rauch, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Spectrum Entrepreneurial Ownership, added: "u-blox is an excellently positioned company with a lot of potential for development and value creation. We have great confidence in the management team and look forward to accompanying the company on its journey in the coming years."

u-blox envisages to propose for election a representative of SEO for an additional seat in the Board of Directors at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.
