Steenord Corp. announces the final outcome of the mandatory public offer to the shareholders in Agrokultura

This press release may not, directly or indirectly, be distributed or published in or into Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or United States. The offer is not being made to (and acceptance will not be accepted from) persons in those countries or elsewhere where participation requires further documentation, filings or other measures in addition to those required by Swedish law.

On 28 August 2014, Steenord Corp. (“Steenord”) announced a mandatory public offer to the shareholders in Agrokultura AB (publ) (“Agrokultura”) to acquire all outstanding shares in Agrokultura for SEK 4.50 per share (the “Mandatory Offer”). All conditions for the Mandatory Offer were waived on 15 September 2014, when Steenord declared that the Mandatory Offer was wholly unconditional and that it would be completed. The extended acceptance period in the Mandatory Offer expired on 17 November 2014.

By the end of the extended acceptance period, the Mandatory Offer has been accepted by shareholders representing a total of 63,816,105 shares in Agrokultura, corresponding to approximately 43.63% of the total number of shares and votes in Agrokultura (based on the new number of shares and votes after registration of the directed share issue carried out by Agrokultura on 31 October 2014). Prior to the announcement of the Mandatory Offer, Steenord held 48.26% of the shares in Agrokultura.

As previously disclosed, Steenord has sold 59,264,799 shares to Magna Investments Limited (“Magna”). In addition, Steenord has sold another 5,528,953 shares in Agrokultura to Magna. Moreover, Steenord has subscribed for 5,696,425 shares in a directed share issue in Agrokultura, carried out by Agrokultura on 31 October 2014 to repay a number of promissory notes in accordance with what is further described in Steenord’s press release as of 29 October 2014.

As of 21 November 2014, Steenord thus holds 71,803,842 shares in Agrokultura, corresponding to approximately 49.09% of the shares and the votes in Agrokultura. Magna holds 68,285,714 shares in Agrokultura, corresponding to approximately 46.69% of the shares and votes in Agrokultura, of which 2.39% of the shares in Agrokultura have been purchased by Magna in the market at a price per share not exceeding SEK 4.50. Steenord has not acquired any shares in Agrokultura outside the Mandatory Offer, except for what has been stated above about subscription of shares in Agrokultura’s directed share issue.

Together, Steenord and Magna hold 95.78% of the shares and votes in Agrokultura.

Steenord and Magna may purchase further shares in Agrokultura in the market.

Settlement in respect of the shareholders who have accepted the Mandatory Offer during the extended acceptance period is expected to commence on 24 November 2014.

As Steenord, together with the shareholding of Magna, holds almost 96% of the shares in Agrokultura, Steenord has concluded that there are no longer prospects for a well-functioning market for Agrokultura’s share. Hence, Steenord intends to promote delisting of Agrokultura’s shares from Nasdaq First North.

Shareholders shall note that due to Steenord’s sale of shares to Magna, there are currently not legal conditions to initiate a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in Agrokultura in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).

Hence, to allow shareholders to dispose of their shares in Agrokultura, Steenord intends to promote that delisting of Agrokultura from Nasdaq First North takes place at the earliest by the year-end 2014.
