Sampo plc, press release, 16 February 2026 at 11:00 am EET
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, SWITZERLAND OR THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OR REGULATIONS.
Trading in Sampo A shares on Nasdaq Stockholm has begun
The trading in Sampo A shares has begun on Nasdaq Stockholm today, 16 February 2026, under the short name (ticker) SAMPO SEK.
The Sampo A share has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm through Swedish Depositary Receipts (SDRs) since 22 November 2022, with Svenska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as the issuer of the SDRs and as a market maker and liquidity provider. In 2025, a policy change by Euroclear Sweden made it possible for Sampo to pursue a direct listing of the Sampo A share on Nasdaq Stockholm, replacing the SDR arrangement. Sampo's application to delist its SDRs and to admit the trading of its A shares was approved by Nasdaq Stockholm on 28 January 2026.
The last day of trading in the SDRs was 13 February 2026. The conversion of the SDRs into A shares will be carried out automatically for all SDR holders. It does not require any action from the SDR holder. Underlying Sampo A shares will be automatically delivered to the same securities account as the SDRs are held on the record date, 17 February 2026. The A shares will be delivered to SDR holders on 19 February 2026.
A direct listing in the Swedish market will create a consistent Nordic presence across Nasdaq Helsinki, Nasdaq Copenhagen and Nasdaq Stockholm and will offer certain advantages for Sampo and its shareholders, including a smaller tick size on Nasdaq Stockholm compared with that applicable to the SDRs.
More information on the SDR conversion is available on Sampo's IR blog: https://www.sampo.com/investors/ir-blog/sdr-conversion/.
