Adjustments to the structure of the group
AS Merko Ehitus adjusts the structure of the
group with the aim of making the country-based management more
effective and strengthening the focus on core activities, i.e. the
provision of construction services and real estate development.
On 1 August 2024 the Management Board of AS
Merko Ehitus, in coordination with the Supervisory Board, decided
to stop providing construction services and making further
investments in Norway. After fulfilling the existing construction
contracts, the 100% subsidiary AS Peritus Entreprenør will be sold
or liquidated.
The Management Board of the group also decided
that the ownership of the 50% stake in AS Connecto Eesti will be
transferred to AS Merko Ehitus from the group's subsidiary AS Merko
Ehitus Eesti. AS Merko Ehitus creates a subsidiary to hold the
stake.
On 1 August 2024 entered into force the
sale and purchase agreement with which OÜ Merko Investments, part
of the AS Merko Ehitus group, sold the Latvian construction company
SIA Merks. Upon agreement with the buyer, the parties will not
disclose the price of the transaction. The contract portfolio of
SIA Merks has been exhausted and the company has no business
activity, the company is left with only legal disputes and the
fulfilment of warranty obligations guaranteed by AS Merko
Ehitus.
After the reorganization of the structure, the home markets of AS
Merko Ehitus are Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Construction
services are provided by AS Merko Ehitus Eesti in Estonia, SIA
Merko Būve in Latvia and UAB Merko Statyba in Lithuania. Real
estate development is carried out by OÜ Merko Kodud in
Estonia, SIA Merks Mājas in Latvia and UAB Merko Būstas in
Lithuania. Tallinna Teede AS is active in the construction
and maintenance of roads and facilities in Estonia. AS Connecto
Eesti, a 50%-owned joint venture, designs, builds and maintains
electricity, telecommunications and gas networks in Estonia and its
subsidiaries are active in electricity construction in Latvia and
Lithuania.
The changes set out in the notice have
negligible effect on the activities of AS Merko Ehitus,
neither are the transactions regarded as transaction with related
parties within the meaning of the section “Requirements for
Issuers” of the rules of the stock exchange organised by NASDAQ OMX
Tallinn AS. Members of the board and supervisory board of AS Merko
Ehitus have no economic interest in the transactions.
