Update on merger process
Endomines AB (publ), Stock Exchange Release 23 December 2021 at 12:00 CET
As previously communicated, in June 2021 Endomines AB (publ) (“Endomines”) signed a merger plan concerning re-domiciliation of the company from Sweden to Finland through a cross-border down-stream merger, whereby the currently listed parent company, Endomines, would merge into a newly established wholly-owned subsidiary, Endomines Finland Oyj (“Endomines Finland”), which would continue as the surviving company (the “Merger”). The Merger was approved by an EGM in Endomines in July 2021 and was initially planned to be completed during the fall 2021. Nasdaq Helsinki has approved Endomines Finland’s listing application, subject to customary conditions.
Since Euroclear Sweden has resolved not to affiliate shares in non-Swedish companies as from the summer 2021, shareholders in Endomines who have their shares held on a securities or depositary account registered with Euroclear Sweden would receive Swedish depository receipts (“SDRs“) in Endomines Finland in the Merger instead of shares. Endomines has since the summer been in contact with different providers of SDRs in Sweden, but it has proven difficult to find a suitable provider to issue the required SDRs. To implement the Merger, Endomines will need to file for registration with the Finnish Patent and Registration Office on or before 27 March 2022. Endomines is continuing the discussions with potential SDR providers and to explore all options to complete the Merger in due course and will provide a further update as soon as possible.
