Concentric Transfer own Shares to an ESOT

SKÅNES FAGERHULT, Sweden, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual general meeting in  Concentric on 4 April 2019 resolved to transfer up to 120,200 shares to an  Employee Share Ownership Trust ("ESOT") as a part of a Joint Share Ownership  Plan ("JSOP") under LTI 2019. In accordance with the annual general meeting's  resolution and the terms of LTI 2019, the board of Concentric has on 18 April 2019  executed the transfer in regards to 112,680 shares. The shares were transferred  to the ESOT free of charge. Simultaneously as the ESOT acquired the main  ownership rights in the shares, the participants in the JSOP acquired a lesser  beneficial ownership right in each share for the right's market value, being SEK  3.00 per ownership right, resulting in the participants becoming co-owners of  the shares. The reason for the annual general meeting's resolution to transfer  the own shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights was to  enable a tax efficient delivery of shares under LTI 2019 to certain  participants resident in the United Kingdom. 

The  total number of holdings of own shares in Concentric at 18 April 2019 was 290,836 and  the total number of shares in issue was 39,224,100. Consequently the company's  total holdings of own shares now represent 0.7% of the total number of shares. In addition to this, the total number of own shares transferred to the ESOT  during 2017-2019 are 300,700. Including these shares the company's holdings was  591,536 representing 1.5% of the total number of shares.
