Proposal to implement a demerger and merger
18.3.2022 18:05:26 CET | Entra ASA | Additional regulated information required
to be disclosed under the laws of a member state
The board of directors of Entra ASA ("Entra" and the "Company") has today signed
a demerger plan and a merger plan for the intra-group transfer of the Company's
directly owned property, Lagårdsveien 6 in Stavanger (the "Property"), to a
wholly owned subsidiary of Entra, Lagårdsveien 6 AS (the "Property Company").
The Property was acquired by Entra in January 2021.
The board of directors of Entra proposes that the transfer of the Property is
carried out by way of a demerger whereby the Company will be demerged and the
Property will be transferred to an intermediary company, and the intermediary
company is immediately thereafter merged with the Property Company by way of a
triangular merger.
The demerger will initially result in the share capital of Entra being reduced
by NOK 1 673 793.58545 through a reduction of the nominal value of NOK 0.00919
per share, and thereafter subsequently increased by the same amount upon
completion of the triangular merger. In order to avoid any disruptions in the
trading of the Company's shares on Oslo Børs, the demerger and the subsequent
triangular merger will be implemented outside the opening hours of Oslo Børs at
a date to be determined.
At implementation of the demerger, the Property will be transferred from Entra
to the intermediary company, and the share capital in Entra will be reduced by
way of a reduction in the nominal value of the Company's shares. Shareholders in
Entra at the implementation date will technically receive one share in the
intermediary for each share they own in Entra as of close of trading on the
implementation date. At implementation of the merger, the intermediary company
will be merged into the Property Company, against a simultaneous increase in the
nominal value of the shares in Entra. The deposit in the share capital increase
in Entra will consist of a receivable issued by the Property Company in favour
of Entra. Upon completion of the merger, the intermediary company will be
deleted and the share capital in Entra will be increased by an increase in the
nominal value of the shares in Entra. As the demerger and the triangular merger
will be implemented between the close of the market on the implementation date
and the opening of the market the next trading day, no physical shares in the
intermediary company will be delivered to the shareholders in Entra.
The demerger plan and the merger plan will be submitted for registration with
the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises today and is expected to be
submitted to Entra's annual general meeting for approval on 22 April 2022.
Further information will be provided in the notice of the general meeting which
is expected to be distributed on or about 22 March 2022.
