Extra cash value transfer through a share redemption plan
The AGM resolved on an extraordinary cash value transfer to MTG’s shareholders through a share redemption plan. Each share in MTG (irrespective of share class) entitles to one (1) redemption share, and each redemption share entitles to a redemption amount of SEK 25.00 per share.
The record date for the share split and the right to receive redemption shares is 15 June 2022 (i.e. the same date as stated in the notice and the information material regarding the share redemption plan). Trading in the redemption shares will occur on Nasdaq Stockholm from and including Thursday 16 June 2022 to and including Thursday 30 June 2022. The redemption amount, SEK 25.00 per share in MTG, will be paid out to holders of redemption shares on 4 July 2022 and will be available on securities accounts/nominee accounts or equivalent around 7 July 2022.
The share redemption plan is part of the Group’s promise to distribute at least 40 per cent of the net proceeds from the ESL divestment to MTG’s shareholders, and corresponds to a total of SEK 2,767 million.
