Trading in Caverion Corporation’s shares begins at Helsinki Stock Exchange today
Trading in Caverion Corporation’s shares at Helsinki Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd) begins today, July 1, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. Finnish time. The trading code of the shares is CAV1V. In connection with YIT’s demerger, YIT Corporation’s shareholders received as demerger consideration one (1) Caverion share for each YIT share owned. Consequently, at the beginning of trading Caverion has approximately 38,000 shareholders, and the number of shares subject to public trading is 125,596,092.
Caverion Corporation was established through the partial demerger of YIT Corporation on June 30, 2013 when YIT’s Building Services and Industrial Services operations were transferred to an independent company. Caverion designs, builds and maintains user-friendly and energy-efficient building systems and offers industrial services. Its strengths include technological competence that covers all building systems throughout the life cycle of the property. In 2012, Caverion’s revenue amounted to approximately EUR 2.8 billion. The company has over 18,000 employees in 13 countries in Northern and Central Europe.
Juhani Pitkäkoski, Caverion’s President and CEO:
“Caverion is a new company but we have a long history behind us. As an independent company, we can focus more fully on our core competence, and we have a better opportunity to become the leading provider of building systems in Europe. In addition, we have a unique chance to develop new type of business and service culture. We are pursuing not only a greater market share but also the position as the most efficient and innovative company of our industry. The favourable outlook in service and maintenance, our position as a technological forerunner and, in particular, the extensive growth potential in the German-speaking region provide a good starting point for the new company. We have a wide shareholder base, and we believe that the clearer business structure will create preconditions for increase in shareholder value, too.”
