The Framtiden Partnerships, a long-term shareholder of Swedish Match, opposed Philip Morris International's takeover bid of SEK 106 per share, deeming it undervalued. Framtiden estimates Swedish Match's intrinsic value at around SEK 200 per share, arguing the offer overlooks the company's growth potential in the non-tobacco nicotine market, particularly with its ZYN products. The Partnerships, owning approximately 1% of shares, expressed concerns that accepting the offer would force long-term investors to realize capital gains prematurely. They urge shareholders to reconsider the bid in light of Swedish Match's promising future.
