Stora Enso (STE) will ask shareholders on 15 December 2026 to approve separating its Swedish forest assets business into Bergslagets Skogar. The proposed cross-border partial demerger would transfer the business's related assets, rights, debts and liabilities to the new Swedish company. Completion is planned for 31 March 2027, although the date may change.
Shareholders would receive one Bergslagets Skogar share for each Stora Enso share: class A holders would receive class A shares, and class R holders would receive class B shares. Distribution would be automatic. Applications for trading on Nasdaq Stockholm and Nasdaq Helsinki are intended. Approval requires two-thirds of votes cast and shares represented, including within each represented share class. Shareholders can approve or reject the plan but cannot amend it.
