On 14 June 2024, Logistea announced that Logistea and KMC Properties had entered into an agreement whereby Logistea combines with KMC Properties by acquiring all of the operations in the KMC Properties group through payment in newly issued shares. All conditions for the Transaction have been fulfilled, and the Transaction has today been completed.

Logistea’s board of directors has, by use of the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting in Logistea on 9 July 2024, resolved to issue 16,263,577 class A shares and 214,551,706 class B shares to KMC Properties as consideration in the Transaction.

KMC Properties will distribute the consideration shares to its shareholders. It is expected that approximately 80 per cent of the consideration shares will be distributed in July 2024 and that the remaining consideration shares will be distributed in late Q3 or early Q4 2024. Logistea has entered into an agreement with DNB Bank ASA that will issue Norwegian depository receipts, representing certain consideration shares, to facilitate delivery of these consideration shares to those shareholders in KMC Properties who have not notified that they wish to receive Swedish shares. The depository receipts will not be listed, but may be converted to shares in Logistea. For more information regarding KMC Properties’ distribution of the consideration shares, please refer to the press release published by KMC Properties on 3 July 2024.

Following completion of KMC Properties’ distribution of the consideration shares in Logistea to KMC Properties’ shareholders, BEWI Invest AS, Nordika, Rutger Arnhult through companies and Slättö will be the four largest shareholders in the combined company, with shareholdings corresponding to 17.7, 14.5, 11.8 and 10.1 per cent of the shares and 17.7, 14.7, 11.7 and 11.3 per cent of the votes respectively (upon full distribution of the consideration shares and based on current shareholding in KMC Properties and Logistea).

Following completion of the Transaction, Logistea’s new management and organization consist of employees from both Logistea and KMC Properties. The executive management team consists of Niklas Zuckerman (CEO), Anders Nordvall (Deputy CEO and CIO), Stig Wærnes (Interim COO and Integration Manager), Philip Löfgren (CFO), Ove Henriksen (Chief Accounting Officer), Christian Linge (IR and Head of Finance outside Sweden), Tobias Lövstedt (Head of Finance in Sweden), Frank Robert Hanshus (Acting Head of Property Management) and Michela Westin (General Counsel).

As of 12 July 2024, following publication of Logistea’s interim report for Q2 2024, Logistea’s board of directors will consist of Patrik Tillman (Chairman), Bjørnar André Ulstein (Vice Chairman), Mia Arnhult, Karl-Erik Bekken, Erik Dansbo, Jonas Grandér and Anneli Lindblom.

A prospectus regarding the admission to trading of the newly issued consideration shares on Nasdaq Stockholm has today been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen) (the “SFSA”). The prospectus is available at Logistea’s website (www.logistea.se) and will also be available at the SFSA’s website.
