Due to regulatory reasons related to the balance sheet concentration limits applying to asset management companies, AS Trigon Capital has been required at some state to divest parts of their holding.

“We have been contacted by HQ Bank who had buyers for a part of our holding and due to our interest to increase the number of shareholders for better liquidity in the shares together with the regulatory reasons, at some state to divest a part of our holding, we decided to accept the bid from the buyers for these shares. The divested shares do not constitute part of the shares under lock-up agreements undertaken during the offering in May 2007.” Joakim Helenius, CEO of AS Trigon Capital, says.
