Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement by
Borgestad ASA (the “Company” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries,
the “Group”) published on 11 December 2023 regarding the approval from Bjuv
municipality of the sale and leaseback transaction for the two properties in
Sweden where the Group’s production plant and other production facilities for
refractory products are located (the “Transaction”), and the stock exchange
announcement published by the Company on 8 January 2024 regarding a compliant
over said approval.
As stated in the stock exchange announcement published on 8 January 2024, Bjuv
municipality’s approval of the Transaction will only become binding once the
complaint has been finally resolved in the claimant’s disfavour, and the
completion of the Transaction is conditional upon such binding approval.
The complaint will be handled by the Administrative Court in Malmö. As it is
still uncertain when the Administrative Court will process the complaint, it has
today been agreed with Bjuv municipality to postpone the longstop date for
completion of the Transaction from 31 December 2024 to 31 December 2025.
