Reclassification of security
A security can be exchanged completely or partially for another security and this can be done in two ways: a change of security type/sort or a reclassification.A change of security sort means that all securities are replaced by a certain sort. It could, for example, be a company that has previously had two share types and now wishes to combine them into one. In its articles of association a company could also have a restriction on conversion or reclassification. An individual holding can be reclassified to a holding in another share type and sort according to the terms of the restriction.
The following securities could be subject to this:
• shares (AK)
• loans (KV, RB)
• interim shares (IA)
• convertible participating debentures (KVB)
• Swedish depository receipts (SDB)
The routine can also be used where a loan is to be exchanged for a new loan.
The Issuer should contact Euroclear Sweden in good time in order to book the record date and discuss the implementation. As a basis for a share exchange, a certificate of amendment is required from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. It is the responsibility of the Issuer to inform any marketplace concerned.
