Delisting of the Company's shares from Euronext Oslo Børs
In light of the voluntary offer completed by Kona BidCo AS and the subsequent
mandatory offer for the remaining shares not already owned by Kona BidCo AS, the
Board of Directors is of the view that the Company is no longer suited for
listing on a public trading venue and should be delisted at the earliest
opportunity. Following settlement of the shares tendered under the mandatory
offer, Kona BidCo AS is expected to hold shares representing approximately
86.70% of the total shares in the Company (87.92% adjusted for the Company's
holding of treasury shares), in addition to any further shares for which
acceptances are received or which Kona BidCo AS otherwise acquires. As a result
of Kona BidCo AS's shareholding there is, and will continue to be, very limited
liquidity in the Company' shares and no prospect of the spread of ownership
increasing.
Shareholders of the Company that wish to exit their investment may accept the
mandatory offer by Kona BidCo AS, which expires on 14 July 2026 at 16:30 (CEST).
The Board of Directors therefore proposes that the Company apply for delisting
of its shares from Euronext Oslo Børs, and that the Board of Directors be
authorised to prepare, finalise and submit the delisting application at such
time as the Board considers appropriate.
An extraordinary general meeting of Zalaris ASA will be held on 11 August 2026
from 13:00 CET at the company's offices in Hoffsveien 4, Oslo. The formal call
will be sent to all shareholders registered in the Norwegian Central Security
Depository (VPS). Documents relating to the extraordinary general meeting will
also be made available on ir.zalaris.com (https://zalaris.com/about/investors.)
Shareholders are recommended to exercise their shareholder rights through
electronic advance voting in VPS, or by completing the proxy form with voting
instruction, to avoid physical attendance.
