By OKMETIC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 17 JANUARY 2014 9.00 A.M.
Okmetic Oyj acquires the entire share capital of Okmetic Management Oy from group's top management
On 1 February 2010, President of Okmetic Kai Seikku and Deputy to the President Mikko Montonen founded a limited company named Okmetic Management Oy, which acquired 400,000 Okmetic shares in a directed share issue. The acquisition was financed by capital investments of 400,000 euro in total in the new company by Seikku and Montonen, and by an 800,000 euro loan granted by Okmetic Oyj. The arrangement was announced with a stock exchange release on 25 January 2010. The shareholders of Okmetic Management Oy are members of the Executive Management Group of Okmetic Oyj.
In December 2012, the Board of Directors of Okmetic Oyj decided to extend the ownership arrangement, originally planned approximately for a three-year period, by a maximum of one year, meaning that the loan would be repaid on 31 March 2014 at the latest.
The Board has now decided that the repayment will be made with an arrangement in which Okmetic Oyj acquires the entire share capital of Okmetic Management Oy. Also 400,000 shares of Okmetic Oyj will be transferred to the group via Okmetic Management Oy, as well as a loan receivable of Okmetic Oyj of 498,800 euro from Okmetic Management Oy. There are no shareholders of Okmetic Management Oy in the Board of Directors of Okmetic Oyj.
The value of the arrangement for the part of shares owned by Okmetic Management Oy is determined using the average trading price weighted by trading volume of the company's share in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy on 16 January 2014, 4.9969 euro.
The decision to repurchase company's own shares is based on existing authorisation of the Board of Directors given by the Annual General Meeting on 10 April 2013.
Prior to the acquisition, Okmetic Oyj had 17,287,500 issued shares, of which 194,123 shares were held by the company. Following the acquisition the number of issued shares will remain unchanged. After the acquisition and the directed share issue announced in a separate stock exchange release from today, the company will hold directly 44,123 own shares and indirectly via Okmetic Management Oy 400,000 own shares.
