Arbitral Tribunal Has Confirmed Loxam S.A.S.’s Redemption Right Regarding Ramirent Plc Shares, Loxam S.A.S. Has Gained Title to All Shares in Ramirent Plc and the Shares Will Be Delisted from Nasdaq Helsinki

The Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the Redemption Committee of the Finland Chamber of Commerce has today confirmed that Loxam S.A.S. (“Loxam”) has the right to redeem the minority shares in Ramirent Plc (“Ramirent”) and that Loxam has the right to obtain title to the minority shares by placing the security approved by the Arbitral Tribunal for the payment of the redemption price and the interest accruing thereon.

Ramirent has on December 10, 2019 submitted a delisting application to Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (“Nasdaq Helsinki”) concerning its shares. Ramirent has requested in the application that the quotation of its shares on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki be terminated as soon as possible upon Loxam having gained title to all the shares in Ramirent in the redemption proceedings.

Pursuant to the confirmation of Loxam's redemption right, Nasdaq Helsinki has terminated public trading in Ramirent's shares today at 3.40 p.m.

After the security has been placed and the title to the shares transferred, the minority shareholders of Ramirent being parties to the redemption proceedings are entitled to receive only the redemption price and the interest payable thereon.

Upon application by Ramirent, Nasdaq Helsinki has on December 17, 2019 decided that Ramirent shares will be delisted from the Official list of Nasdaq Helsinki after Loxam has gained title to all the shares in Ramirent in the redemption proceedings in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act.
