Oma Savings Bank Plc will carry out a direct share issue to Liedon Savings Bank
Based on the authorisation of the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors of Oma Savings Bank Plc (OmaSp or Company) has decided on the share issue against payment directed to Liedon Savings Bank. At its meeting on 22 September 2022, the governing body of Liedon Savings Bank decided to implement the transfer of Liedon Savings Bank’s business to Oma Savings Bank in accordance with the acquisition plan. The date of the appearance of the creditors of Liedon Savings Bank is 7 October 2022 and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority FIN-FSA has the right to object the transfer until the same date.
In the directed share issue against payment, 3,125,049 OmaSp shares will be given for subscription. All new shares to be issued will be subscribed by Liedon Savings Bank in exchange for the transfer of the business. The share issue deviates from the pre-emptive subscription right pursuant to Chapter 9, Section 3 of the Finnish Companies Act.

The subscription price per share is the closing price of the share on the Helsinki Stock Exchange on the day of the transfer of the business. The shares shall be subscribed and paid as contribution in kind Liedon Savings Bank disposes to OmaSp for the payment of shares, the liabilities related to the assets to be transferred and reserves for the business to be transferred. The shares shall be paid against apport in kind from the business to be transferred at the moment when the execution of the business transfer in accordance with the acquisition plan is registered in the Trade Register, which is scheduled to take place no later than 28 February 2023.
