Sampo Begins Trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen
Today is a pivotal day for Sampo plc as it launches trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen. This move is part of Sampo's broader strategy to align with Topdanmark, aiming to enhance the experience for both current and future shareholders.
A Strategic Dual Listing
With the successful completion of its dual listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen, Sampo's A shares will now trade under the symbol “SAMPO DKK.” This important step follows a successful exchange offer extended to Topdanmark shareholders and signifies a major advancement in the merger of these two prominent underwriting firms, working together to establish a cohesive Nordic operating platform.
CEO's Vision for the Future
Torbjörn Magnusson, Group CEO, shared his excitement about the dual listing, highlighting how it marks the start of a meaningful journey.

This merger is expected to harness Sampo's Nordic-wide strengths and Topdanmark's strong foothold in Denmark, creating significant synergies that will benefit customers and shareholders alike.
Maintaining Strong Market Presence
As Sampo moves into Copenhagen, it will still have its A shares actively traded on Nasdaq Helsinki and its Swedish Depository Receipts available on Nasdaq Stockholm. Current Sampo shareholders can rest easy as they won’t need to take any action, ensuring a smooth transition while the company expands its footprint in the Nordic financial markets.
Collaborative Advisory Team
During this transition, Sampo has robust support from a solid team of advisors. Nordea Danmark is acting as the financial advisor, while Plesner Advokatpartnerselskab and Hannes Snellman Attorneys Ltd are providing legal counsel to make sure operations continue seamlessly during this new chapter.
Building Momentum as a Unified Force
