Solidium has today on 15 February 2024 sold its entire holding in Mandatum plc to the largest owner of Mandatum i.e. funds managed by Altor. Thru the partial demerger of Sampo plc in October 2023 Mandatum became an independent listed company and does not fulfil Solidium’s investment criteria of national importance. Solidium owned approximately 33 million shares in Mandatum plc corresponding to approximately 6.6 per cent of the outstanding shares. The execution price was EUR 3.95 per share and sales proceeds thereby approximately EUR 131 million. Solidium will use the proceeds from the share sale mainly for general corporate purposes.
