Reference is made to the stock exchange announcements made by KMC Properties ASA
("KMCP" or the "Company") on 14 June 2024 regarding the transaction agreement
entered into with Logistea AB (publ) ("Logistea") and to the stock exchange
announcement made by KMCP on 3 July 2024 regarding the distribution of
consideration shares in Logistea to the shareholders of KMCP, including the
information letter distributed to the shareholders of KMCP.
The transaction between the Company and Logistea, whereby Logistea acquire all
shares in KMC Properties HoldCo AS ("KMC HoldCo"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
KMCP, and thereby acquire all of the operations in the KMCP group with
consideration to KMCP in the form of newly issued Logistea shares (the
"Transaction"), has today been completed.
The board of directors of Logistea has, by use of the authorization granted by
the extraordinary general meeting in Logistea on 9 July 2024, resolved to issue
16,263,577 class A-shares and 214,551,706 class B-shares to KMCP as
consideration in the Transaction (the "Consideration Shares").
Following completion of the Transaction, Logistea has published a prospectus
regarding the admission to trading of the newly issued consideration shares on
Nasdaq Stockholm. The prospectus has today been approved and registered by the
Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (the "SFSA"). The prospectus is
available at Logistea's website, www.logistea.se, and will also be available at
the SFSA's website.
As resolved by the Company's general meeting on 5 July 2024, KMCP will
distribute approximately 80% of the Consideration Shares (the "First
Distribution Shares") to the shareholders of the Company as of 5 July 2024 (as
registered in Euronext Securities Oslo ("VPS") on 9 July 2024) (the "Eligible
Shareholders"). It is expected that the First Distribution Shares will be
distributed to the Company's Eligible Shareholders in July 2024 and that the
remaining Logistea shares then held by KMCP (the "Second Distribution Shares")
will be distributed in late Q3 or early Q4 2024 on the basis of an audited
interim balance sheet, as further outlined in the stock exchange announcement
made by the Company on 3 July 2024, which also contains additional information
on how Eligible Shareholders will receive the First Distribution Shares.
Eligible Shareholders have the option to either receive the First Distribution
Shares on Swedish deposit account appointed by them or by receiving Norwegian
Depository Receipts representing such shares on their VPS account.
KMCP will pursue opportunities which will have a different profile than the
combined company formed in Logistea and will seek to remain listed on the Oslo
Stock Exchange. Stig Wærnes will continue as the CEO of KMCP.
