Relais Group Plc
Stock Exchange Release - 10 February 2026 at 4 pm EET
The Board of Directors of Relais Group Plc (“Relais Group” or the “Company”)
has, on the basis of the share issue authorisation granted to the Board of
Directors by the Annual General Meeting held on 10 April 2025, resolved to carry
out a directed share issue of a total of 61,604 new shares in the Company
(“Directed Share Issue”) following an acquisition completed by a group company.
The Directed Share Issue relates to Relais Group's group company Team Verkstad's
acquisition of Landströms Bygg och Plåt i Gällivare from LBP Invest AB (the
“Seller”), which was announced in a press release on 19 December 2025 (the
“Acquisition”). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acquisition,
SEK 11.0 million of the purchase price will be paid in Relais Group shares
(“Consideration Shares”). As announced in a separate press release on 2 February
2026, the parties completed the Acquisition as planned on 2 February 2026.
The new shares to be issued in the Directed Share Issue will be directed to the
Seller, who has irrevocably committed to subscribing for the new shares in
connection with the signing of the Acquisition. In accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Acquisition, the subscription price for the Consideration
Shares to be issued in the Directed Share Issue is EUR 16.9724 per share,
corresponding to the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's
share on the Nasdaq Helsinki marketplace during the twenty (20) trading days
preceding the last bank day prior to the closing of the Acquisition (the
"Subscription Price"). The Subscription Price of the Consideration Shares will
be fully recorded in the fund for invested unrestricted equity of the Company.
The number of Consideration Shares to be issued in the Directed Share Issue has
been calculated by dividing the portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition
to be used for the share subscription (SEK 11,000,000.00 / EUR 1,045,577.68) by
the Subscription Price of the Consideration Shares. In converting the share
component into euros, the EUR/SEK exchange rate of the Bank of Finland on 30
January 2026 has been applied, such rate being 10.5205. The number of
Consideration Shares has been rounded down to the nearest whole share.
The Consideration Shares to be issued in the Directed Share Issue are issued for
the purpose of developing the business of Relais Group and the group, for
committing the key personnel of the acquired company and for completion of the
Acquisition, and therefore there exists a weighty financial reason for the
Directed Share Issue.
The Seller has committed to a transfer restriction pursuant to which 50 percent
of the new shares will be subject to a transfer restriction for a period of 12
months, and the remaining 50 percent for 18 months from the completion of the
Acquisition. During such period, the shares issued in the Directed Share Issue
may not be disposed of or transferred, except for certain customary exceptions.
The new shares will be entered in the Trade Register on or about 13 February
2026. Relais Group will apply for the listing of the new shares on the main
market of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, and trading in the new shares is expected to
commence on or about 16 February 2026. After the registration of the shares, the
total number of the Company's shares will be 18,497,127. The new shares will
represent approximately 0.3 percent of the Company's share capital after the
registration of the new shares.
