(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ahlstrom Corporation STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE November 29, 2013 at 9.00
Not to be distributed in or into Australia, Canada, the Hong Kong special
administrative region of the People's Republic of China, Japan, New Zealand,
South Africa or the United States.
The Board of Directors of Ahlstrom Corporation and Munksjö Oyj have today
resolved to execute the demerger of Ahlstrom's Label and Processing business in
Brazil and notify it for registration with the Finnish Trade Register on
December 2, 2013.
The demerger is the final step in the process through which Ahlstrom's Label and
Processing business and Munksjö AB are combined.
In the demerger the shareholders of Ahlstrom receive as demerger consideration
0.265 new shares in Munksjö for each share owned in Ahlstrom. An estimated total
of 12,292,084 new shares in Munksjö Oyj will be issued as demerger consideration
to Ahlstrom's shareholders.
The number of new shares to be issued as demerger consideration will be
determined based on the shareholding in Ahlstrom and taking into account all
trades made, although not settled, in Ahlstrom's shares by the end of today. In
case the number of shares received by a shareholder of the company as Coated
Specialties demerger consideration would be a fractional number, the fractions
shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
No demerger consideration will be paid on the basis of own shares held by
Ahlstrom Corporation. The new Munksjö shares carry a right to dividend and other
shareholder rights as from their registration, expected to occur on December
2, 2013. The trading with Munksjö's shares received as a demerger consideration
in the Coated Specialties demerger is expected to commence on the Helsinki Stock
Exchange on or about December 2, 2013.
The process does not require any action from the current Ahlstrom shareholders.
