POHJOLAN VOIMA OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 23 OCTOBER 2024
Pohjolan Voima Oyj’s Board of Directors proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting a reduction of the share capital and the acquisition of shares of C share series
Pohjolan Voima Oyj’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting called for 18 November 2024 a reduction in the Company’s share capital in the share series C and the acquisition of the shares in the share series in question.
In order to acquire the stocks in the C share series, the Company’s share capital will be reduced by EUR 1,982,534.30. The Company’s restricted shareholders’ equity will be reduced by EUR 1,982,534.30 which is the purchase price of the shares of the C share series as well as the market price of the shares based on the established calculation methods regarding the valuation of the Company’s shares. The acquisition of the shares to the Company will be finalized on the first day of the calendar month following the reduction of the share capital. The shares in the C share series will be nullified after the acquisition. The shares in the C share series will be acquired as a directed acquisition to which there is a weighty financial reason as set out in Chapter 15 Section 6 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The shares in the C share series have entitled to power generated by PVO-Lämpövoima Oy’s power plants. The power plants of PVO-Lämpövoima Oy have been demolished and the Board proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting the issuance of a binding rule to set PVO-Lämpövoima Oy into liquidation. There is no longer power production in the C share series and therefore, it is appropriate for the Company to acquire the shares and to nullify the share series.
After the reduction, the Company’s share capital will be EUR 47,693,532.97 and the share premium fund will be EUR 191,592,407.63. The reduced share capital of the Company and any other non-distributable items referred to in Chapter 13, Section 5 of the Limited Liability Companies Act will remain fully covered after the reduction of the share capital. The Board notes that there have been no events that materially affect the Company’s financial position since the execution of the Company’s last financial statements. The Company’s liquidity is good, and the Board estimates that distribution of funds does not affect the Company’s solvency.
