Oy Lival Ab ("Lival") has submitted a statement of claims in the proceedings related to squeeze-out of minority shares of Nordic Aluminium Oyj (“Nordic Aluminium”) on 12 November 2012 pursuant to Chapter 18 of the Companies Act.
According to Section 6 of Chapter 18 of the Companies Act, in the event the Arbitral Tribunal considers that the squeeze-out right of Lival is evident, the minority shares under the squeeze-out proceedings shall be promptly transferred to Lival subject to Lival’s deposit of a security for the payment of the redemption price approved by the Arbitral Tribunal.
The board of directors of Nordic Aluminium has resolved on 7 December 2012 to apply for cessation of public trading with the shares in Nordic Aluminium and in conjunction thereto, de-listing of the shares in Nordic Aluminium. Nordic Aluminium has submitted a de-listing application to the Listing Committee of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki on 7 December 2012. Pursuant to the de-listing application, Nordic Aluminium requests to cease the public trading with the shares in Nordic Aluminium and de-listing of the shares without delay subject to the transfer of the minority shares to Lival in accordance with Section 6 of Chapter 18 of the Companies Act.
In the event the Arbitral Tribunal resolves that the squeeze-out right of Lival is evident, the public trading with the shares in Nordic Aluminium may be ceased already as a result of the resolution of the Arbitral Tribunal prior to the Lival’s deposit of the security approved by the Arbitral Tribunal to pay the redemption price.
