Shareholders representing 98% of the owners in Bergvik Skog AB, a Swedish forest holding company, have agreed to initiate discussions, based on a non-binding letter of intent, aiming at structural changes in Bergvik Skog Group. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

These shareholders are Stora Enso, L\u00e4nsf\u00f6rs\u00e4kringar, FAM, BillerudKorsn\u00e4s, K\u00e5pan Pension, Tredje AP-fonden, Persson Invest, Karl Hedin AB and Tham Invest.<\/p>\n

Bergvik Skog\u2019s Swedish forest assets are owned by its subsidiaries Bergvik V\u00e4st AB and Bergvik \u00d6st AB, representing approximately 83% and 17% respectively. As a result of the planned restructuring, Stora Enso would transform its current ownership of 49.3% in Bergvik Skog, to a direct holding of approximately 70% of the value of the forest assets in Bergvik V\u00e4st. Further, approximately 15% of Bergvik V\u00e4st would be directly owned by FAM, and approximately 15% directly owned by a consortium of smaller shareholders.<\/p>\n

BillerudKorsn\u00e4s would acquire Bergvik \u00d6st. The remaining assets of Bergvik Skog would be liquidated or contributed to the forest holding entities.<\/p>\n

The restructuring of Bergvik Skog would involve dividing the company\u2019s assets between the owners. The financial impacts for Stora Enso are estimated to be the following:<\/p>\n

Bergvik Skog is currently reported as an equity accounted investment. As a result of the restructuring, Bergvik V\u00e4st would be consolidated as a subsidiary. The transaction would result in a cash out effect of EUR 250\u2013300 million.<\/p>\n

Stora Enso\u2019s current debt would increase by approximately EUR 800 million. The net debt to EBITDA ratio would increase by approximately 0.6. The ratio was 1.8 in the end of Q3\/2017. Capital employed would increase by approximately EUR 1 billion, resulting in a decrease in ROCE of approximately 1%-point. Bergvik V\u00e4st owns approximately 1.9 million hectares of forest land of which approximately 1.6 million hectares are productive forests. The balance sheet value of the fixed assets of Bergvik V\u00e4st amounts to approximately EUR 4 billion.<\/p>\n

The final agreements are currently under negotiations between the parties with the aim of initiating the transactions during the first half of 2018. During the transaction and transition period, there will be business as usual for Bergvik Skog. The final agreements are subject to relevant approvals.<\/p>\n
