Information regarding compulsory redemption of minority shares

On 8 September 2025, Strategic Value Partners, LLC (“SVP”), through Coniferous Bidco AB, initiated compulsory redemption of the minority shares in Nordic Paper Holding AB (“Nordic Paper”) after it controlled more than 90 percent of the shares of Nordic Paper.

On the same day, the Board of Directors of Nordic Paper applied for de-listing of the shares from Nasdaq Stockholm and the last day of trading was 23 September 2025.

As part of the process towards compulsory redemption, SVP, through Coniferous Bidco AB, has been granted advance access to the minority shares. In conjunction with the granting of advance access, Coniferous Bidco AB was imposed to pay 48.17 SEK per share to the minority shareholders. The figure equals the price per share as claimed by Coniferous Bidco AB. The payment is made in April 2026.

As a result, Coniferous Bidco AB is now the legal owner of all shares in Nordic Paper. The redemption process is expected to be completed in early 2027.
