Nordstjernan and Zelda agree on long-term option

In June 2015, Nordstjernan acquired nearly 30 percent of the share capital and votes in Swedol from the Zetterberg family’s holding company, Zelda. Since then, Zelda and Nordstjernan have worked together successfully in Swedol. The company has intensified its efforts to create growth. The share price has increased by approximately 40 percent and the acquisition of Björnkläder Intressenter AB (“Grolls”) has established Swedol as one of the leading companies in workwear and personal protective equipment, with a turnover of approximately 2.6 billion SEK.

Zelda and Nordstjernan have discussed the long-term ownership of the company and agreed on an option for Nordstjernan to acquire Zelda’s remaining shareholding in Swedol during the period June 2019 to June 2020.

Nordstjernan and Zelda are active owners and will continue to support the company and take responsibility as major shareholders in order to contribute to a continued favorable long-term share price development for Swedol.

The parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the option.
