Today, trading in SSAB shares will, for the first time, commence on Nasdaq
OMX
Helsinki under the ticker names SSABAH and SSABBH (class A and class B
shares
respectively). The shares will be quoted in euro.
In conjunction with
SSAB’s completion of the combination with the Finnish
company Rautaruukki, SSAB
has applied for a secondary listing on Nasdaq OMX
Helsinki, in addition to the
current listing on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm.
The combination of SSAB and
Rautaruukki took place through a share exchange
offer whereby Rautaruukki’s
shareholders were offered newly issued shares in
SSAB in exchange for their
existing shares in Rautaruukki. With the completion
of the combination, SSAB
now has more than 32,000 new shareholders. The listing
on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki
will make it easier for new shareholders to trade in SSAB
shares.

“Following
the combination, Finland is one of SSAB's domestic markets and it is
very
pleasing that we can now offer our new shareholders trading on the exchange
in
Helsinki. We hope that the combined company will lead to greater interest
in
the SSAB share, and the listing on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki is an important step
in
this direction,” says Martin Lindqvist, President and CEO of SSAB.
