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.
