Analysis · EVC · Technology
The termination of the Cooperation Agreement with Alexandra Seros and related trusts is a significant development, especially given the recent large-scale selling of shares by the founder's family. This agreement previously included specific commitments regarding their ownership of the company's stock. Its termination removes any remaining restrictions or obligations on their selling activity, potentially signaling a further reduction in their long-term stake and increasing future selling pressure on the stock.
