ROCKWOOL A/S Announces a Major Share Split
In a recent company announcement, ROCKWOOL A/S shared its decision regarding a significant milestone for its shareholders: an upcoming share split. This decision was made at the company’s annual general meeting and reflects its ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value.
Understanding the Share Split Ratio
The company has resolved to implement a share split in the ratio of 1:10. This means that each existing class A and class B share, which previously had a nominal value of 10 DKK, will now be divided into ten shares, each carrying a nominal value of just 1 DKK. Shareholders might be curious about how this change affects them, so let’s delve into the specifics.
Effects on Share Capital
As a result of this split, ROCKWOOL A/S will maintain its class A and class B share capital intact. Specifically:
- The total class A share capital, amounting to 98,178,390 DKK, will comprise a total of 98,178,390 shares, each with a nominal value of 1 DKK. Notably, these shares will each still hold 10 votes.
- In addition, the class B share capital, originaly 118,028,700 DKK, will also split into 118,028,700 shares, where each will have 1 DKK value and still carry one vote.
This restructuring enhances liquidity while preserving voting power among shareholders, reassuring investors that their rights remain unchanged.
Total Number of Shares Post-Split
With the completion of the share split, the total number of shares outstanding will reach 216,207,090. For those keeping track, each share will continue to represent the same voting rights as before, meaning that the influence of class A shares over class B shares will remain the same.
Timeline for Implementation
For shareholders eager to understand when these changes will take effect, here is a concise timeline:
- By April 8, 2025: The last trading day on Nasdaq Copenhagen under the existing ISIN codes will occur, so it's essential for shareholders to stay informed about their holdings.
- On April 9, 2025: The first day of trading under the new ISIN codes will begin. Shareholders will find the identifiers as follows:
- DK0063855085 for A shares
