The Board of Directors of Loihde Plc (“Loihde” or “the Company”) has decided to apply for the admission of the Company’s shares to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland marketplace (“First North”) maintained by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (“Helsinki Stock Exchange”) and has today submitted a listing application to the Helsinki Stock Exchange. For the listing, the Company has prepared a company description in Finnish that has been reviewed by the Helsinki Stock Exchange.

Listing

The listing is to be carried out as a technical listing, which means that no share issue or sale will be arranged in connection with it. According to the management’s estimate, the listing would provide a marketplace for the Company’s share and increase liquidity of the share, resulting in more efficient price formation for the share. The listing would also enable using the Company’s share as a means of payment in potential acquisitions and increase the Company’s opportunities to use share-based incentive schemes to retain employees. Additionally, the listing would improve awareness of Loihde as an employer and among customers.

The Company filed today a listing application with the Helsinki Stock Exchange for the admission of the Company’s shares to trading on First North under the trading code LOIHDE. Provided that the Company’s listing application will be approved, trading on the Company’s shares at First North is expected to begin on or about 7 October 2021.

Availability of the company description

For the listing, the Company has prepared a company description in Finnish that has been reviewed by Helsinki Stock Exchange. The company description will be available as an electronic version on 27 September 2021 on the Company’s website at www.loihde.com/listautuminen.
