The board of directors' proposal regarding approval of transfer of shares in the subsidiary IP-Agency Finland Oy (item 7)
BHG's subsidiary Bygghemma Finland Holding AB ("BHF") owns 70.0% of the shares and votes in IP-Agency Finland Oy ("IP-Agency"). The remaining 30.0% of the shares and votes in IP-Agency is owned by the two founders of IP-Agency (the "Founders"), who are also the CEO and Chief Digital Officer of IP-Agency.
Following the finalised arbitration proceeding between BHG and the Founders, whereby the price to be paid by BHG for the Founders' shares in IP-Agency will be determined, BHG will, through BHF, acquire all of the shares in IP-Agency from the Founders and thereby own 100% of the shares and votes of IP-Agency. BHF has entered into an agreement with the Founders whereby BHF then is granted the right to sell all shares in IP-Agency to the Founders, and the Founders are correspondingly granted the right to acquire all shares in IP-Agency. If such right is exercised by either the Founders or BHF, the Founders will thus become owner of 100% of the shares and votes in IP-Agency.
The purchase price for the shares that are to be transferred by BHF pursuant to the agreement amounts to EUR 5m (equivalent to approximately SEK 58m at the current exchange rate). The board of directors deems that the purchase price and other terms of transfer in general are reasonable from a financial point of view for the shareholders of BHG.
The transfer of shares in IP-Agency is subject to approval of the extraordinary general meeting of BHG in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act. Thus, in order for the resolution to be valid, the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
For further information on the transfer, refer to BHG's press release on 22 November 2024.
