Carl Eric Stålberg, President and CEO of JM, comments Skanska's sale of its holding in JM

Carl Eric Stålberg, President and CEO of JM, comments Skanska's sale of its holding in JM: "Skanska's sale of its holding in JM marks the end of many years of responsible ownership in the company. It also represents a continuation of recent years' spread of ownership in JM, where we have among other things seen an increase in foreign interests. A natural consequence of this trend is that the liquidity of the JM share is improved, for the benefit of all shareholders", says Carl Eric Stålberg, President and CEO of JM.
