Changes in PKC's financial reporting

MSSL Estonia WH OÜ (”MSSL”) has on March 24, 2017 announced that it will complete a voluntary recommended public tender offer, commenced on February 6, 2017, to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares and stock options in PKC Group Plc (”PKC”) that are not owned by PKC or any of its subsidiaries. Furthermore, MSSL has informed that MSSL has gained ownership of 94.18 percent of all the shares and voting rights in PKC. As a result, MSSL has informed PKC that the redemption right and obligation under the Finnish Companies Act in respect of the PKC shares and stock options held by minority shareholders has arisen. MSSL informed also that it intends to initiate arbitral proceedings as provided in the Finnish Companies Act as soon as possible to complete the redemption of the shares and stock options held by minority shareholders.

As a result of MSSL having gained ownership of 94.18 percent and having informed its intentions to initiate arbitral proceedings to complete the redemption of the shares and stock options held by minority shareholders, board of directors of PKC has resolved that the company will not publish interim statement for Q1 and Q3. This marks a change to the financial reporting timetable announced earlier by PKC, according to which PKC would publish an interim statement for Q1 on Friday May 5, 2017 and for Q3 on Thursday October 26, 2017. Pursuant to the amendment of the Finnish Securities Markets Act that entered into force on 26 November 2015 listed companies are no longer obliged to publish interim reports for the first three and nine months of their financial periods.
