Annual General Meeting 2010
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Annual General Meeting (the AGM) in Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA (WW) was held today
Thursday 15 April 2010. The AGM adopted the board's proposal to distribute a
dividend of NOK 2.00 per share. The shares will be traded ex dividend Friday 16
April 2010.
Wilhelm Wilhelmsen resigned as chair of WW, and deputy chair, Diderik Schnitler,
succeeds Mr Wilhelmsen as chair. Mr Wilhelmsen will continue to serve as a
member of the board of directors.
Enclosed is the Minutes of Meeting from the AGM.
The AGM adopted the Board's proposal for a restructure of the WW group. In the
new structure, the shipping and logistics activities of today's WW will be
carried forward in a separate entity, the new Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA (new WW ASA).
A newly incorporated company, Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA, will be the new
parent company of the WW group, including the majority shareholder of new WW ASA
as well as the only shareholder of Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS.
It is expected that the restructuring will be completed upon expiry of the
creditor notice period for the restructuring, presumably by the end of June
2010.
In connection with the restructuring, the group will seek to list the new WW ASA
on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
The group has entered into an underwriting agreement with a group of current
shareholders, partners and certain underwriting banks amounting to USD 200
million, and has the intention to raise USD 200 - 400 million of new equity in
the IPO of new WW ASA.
