The Extraordinary General Meeting of Outokumpu held on June 16, 2014 decided that the number of shares in the company be reduced without reducing the share capital by merging twenty five (25) shares to one (1) share by means of a reverse share split as provided in Chapter 15, Section 9 of the Limited Liability Companies Act (624/2006) and following the order provided therein. The purpose of the reverse split is to increase the value of individual shares and therefore to enhance trading conditions and improve price formation on the stock market.
