Oslo, 6 November 2024: Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement made
by KMC Properties ASA (the "Company" or "KMCP") on 14 June 2024 regarding the
transaction agreement entered into with Logistea AB (publ.) ("Logistea") (the
"Transaction").
The Transaction was completed by Logistea acquiring all shares in KMC Properties
HoldCo AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMCP, and thereby acquiring all the
operations in the KMCP group, with payment in newly issued shares in Logistea
(the "Consideration Shares") to KMCP. On 5 July 2024, the extraordinary general
meeting of the Company resolved to distribute assets for NOK 2,665,000,000 in
the form of Consideration Shares as dividend in kind (the "First Distribution
Shares").
Subject to the approval by the extraordinary general meeting to be held on 12
November 2024, the Company will distribute remaining Consideration Shares held
by KMCP (the "Second Distribution Shares") as dividend in kind to the
shareholders of the Company as of 12 November 2024 (as registered in Euronext
Securities Oslo ("VPS") on 14 November 2024) (the "Eligible Shareholders") for
an amount of up to NOK 1,354,009,465.93. Reference is made to the notice of the
extraordinary general meeting for further information.
As Logistea is a Swedish public limited company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm the
Second Distribution Shares are registered with the Swedish Central Securities
Depository ("VPC"), while the shares in KMCP are registered with the Norwegian
Central Securities Depository ("VPS"). As the Consideration Shares are
registered in the VPC, it will not be possible for the Company to distribute the
Second Distribution Shares to its Eligible Shareholders via the VPS system.
Eligible Shareholders may either receive the Second Distribution Shares on a
Swedish deposit account designated by them or by receiving Norwegian Depository
Receipts ("NDRs") representing such shares on their VPS account. Enclosed to
this announcement is the Company's information letter to its Eligible
Shareholders providing additional information with respect to the above.
Eligible Shareholders to the Second Distribution Shares who received the First
Distribution Shares on a Swedish deposit account in connection with the
distribution of the First Distribution Shares in July 2024 and who would like to
receive the Second Distribution Shares on the same Swedish deposit account shall
not take any further action.
