Scancem AB leaves the Stockholm Stock Exchange after 100 years The building materials group Scancem will be de-registered from the Stockholm Stock Exchange on December 23, 1999. The company's trade on the Stock Exchange started in 1900 under the name of Skånska Cementaktiebolaget and now ends almost 100 years later under the name Scancem. Scancem's Board of Directors has requested for a de-registration since Heidelberger Zement's offer for all shares outstanding has been accepted by more than 99.8 percent of the shareholders in Scancem. They were offered SEK 397.30 per A share and SEK 378.15 per B share. December 22, 1999, is the last day that the Scancem share will be traded.
