Basware Corporation, stock exchange release, September 4, 2014 at 18:30

Intention of share issue

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO
THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN.

Basware Corporation ("Basware" or the "Company") intends to offer up to
1,290,000 new shares in the Company (the "Shares") to a limited number of
international institutional investors in an accelerated book-built offering
deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights (the"Offering"). The net proceeds from the Offering will increase Basware's
financial flexibility and preparedness to carry out potential acquisitions.

The Board of Directors of Basware was granted an authorisation by the Annual
General Meeting of the Company held on February 14, 2014 to issue new shares of
the Company by deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights.
The Shares to be offered correspond to approximately 9.98 percent of all the
shares and voting rights in Basware immediately prior to the Offering.

The book-building will commence immediately and is expected to end by September
5, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. at the latest. The book-building process may, however, be
closed at any time during the book-building period. The number of Shares and the
price at which the Shares are to be placed will be agreed by the Board of
Directors of Basware and Carnegie Investment Bank AB ("Carnegie") at the close
of the book-building process and will be announced as soon as practicable after
the close of the book-building process.

In connection with the Offering, Basware has entered into a lock-up undertaking
under which it has, subject to certain exceptions, agreed not to issue or sell
any shares in Basware for a period ending 180 days after the closing of the
Offering.

The Shares will be issued in the Finnish book-entry system and will be entered
into the subscriber's book-entry accounts as interim shares against the payment
of the subscription price on or about September 10, 2014. The interim shares
will not be applied to trading on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The interim shares
will be combined with Basware's existing class of shares after the registration
of the Shares with the Finnish Trade Register on or about September 11, 2014 and
the trading with the Shares on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd is expected to commence
on or about September 12, 2014. The Shares will rank pari passu in all respects
with the existing shares of the Company once they have been registered with the
Finnish Trade Register.

Carnegie is acting as the Sole Bookrunner in the Offering.
