The Swedish Companies Registration Office has today registered the merger between Sveafastigheter AB (publ) ("Sveafastigheter") and KlaraBo Sverige AB ("KlaraBo"). The merger between Sveafastigheter and KlaraBo is thereby completed.
Sveafastigheter and KlaraBo announced on 18 May 2026 that the Boards of Directors of Sveafastigheter and KlaraBo had adopted a joint merger plan to effect a merger of the companies through a statutory merger in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act (the "Merger"). On 7 September 2026, the Swedish Companies Registration Office granted permission to implement the merger plan, and the Merger has today, on 30 September 2026, been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Upon registration of the Merger, the Merger has taken final legal effect and all of KlaraBo's assets and liabilities have been transferred to Sveafastigheter. The combined company retains the name Sveafastigheter AB (publ) and continues to have its registered office in Stockholm.
In accordance with the resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Sveafastigheter on 26 June 2026, Lennart Sten, Sophia Mattsson-Linnala and Andreas Morfiadakis take office today as members of the Board of Directors of Sveafastigheter. At the same time, Leiv Synnes, Peder Johnsson and Jenny Wärmé resign from their positions as members of the Board of Directors of Sveafastigheter. As of today, the Board of Directors of Sveafastigheter therefore consists of Lennart Sten (Chairman), Peter Wågström, Christer Nerlich, Jens-Fredrik Jalland, Sophia Mattsson-Linnala and Andreas Morfiadakis.
In connection with the registration of the Merger, the Swedish Companies Registration Office has today also registered the issuances of 20,004,545 new Class A shares and 85,496,012 new Class B shares in Sveafastigheter as merger consideration. Through the issuances, Sveafastigheter's share capital increases by SEK 263,751.3925.
Shareholders registered in the share register of KlaraBo on the date of registration of the Merger with the Swedish Companies Registration Office will be entitled to receive the merger consideration. The record date with Euroclear for entitlement to the merger consideration is expected to be 1 October 2026. The merger consideration is expected to be distributed on 5 October 2026, which is also expected to be the first day of trading in the newly issued Class B shares in Sveafastigheter on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Only whole shares in Sveafastigheter will be paid as merger consideration. Fractions of shares will be aggregated and sold through a financial institution as soon as possible after the registration of the Merger with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, whereafter the proceeds from the sale will be paid out to those entitled to them in proportion to the value of the fractions held immediately prior to the sale, no later than ten (10) banking days after such sale.
Trading in Sveafastigheter's Class B share on Nasdaq Stockholm continues as usual and will not be affected by the merger process.
Interim report January-September 2026 and effects of the Merger
As a result of the Merger, Sveafastigheter will postpone the publication of its interim report for the period January-September 2026 to 18 November 2026. In the interim report, non-recurring costs attributable to the Merger are expected to amount to approximately SEK 55m. The costs relate to transaction- and integration-related items and will be recognised within central administration.
All assets and liabilities of KlaraBo will be included in Sveafastigheter's consolidated balance sheet as of 30 September 2026. As the Merger was registered on 30 September 2026, KlaraBo's income and expenses will not be included in Sveafastigheter's consolidated income statement for the period January-September 2026.
The interim report will include an earnings capacity for the combined company. In addition, an appendix containing a pro forma income statement for the combined company for the period 1 January-30 September 2026 will be included.
