Major cleanup at the giant.

E-commerce company Ellos Group is creating a new order in its papers and reorganizing the structure of how ownership is divided. To make administration simpler and more practical, the company has decided to gather ownership into fewer parts. In practice, this means that the total number of shares in the company shrinks from almost 800 million to just over 19 million.

Since December last year, Ellos Group has been traded on the unlisted marketplace Euronext NOTC. Now, the company has chosen to bundle forty existing shares into one new share.

In order to achieve a number of shares appropriate for the Company, the Company is now carrying out a consolidation of shares, writes Ellos Group in a comment.

The change will take place in the coming days at the end of May. For investors and shareholders, this means that the old trading will end and that the share will change identity in the trading systems immediately afterwards. The last day for trading in the old shares is today.

Free Help for Smaller Owners

The consolidation also involves technical adjustments in accounting. Among other things, over three million shares are withdrawn completely. To facilitate for smaller shareholders, whose number of shares cannot be evenly divided by forty, one of the largest owners steps in.

This owner donates shares free of charge to the smaller owners so that the equation adds up, and at the same time reduces their own holdings. After all measures have been taken, the booked nominal value for each individual share changes to approximately SEK 40.17.
