Due to the changes in the group structure resulting from the
Reorganisation, the Finnish Energy Authority has issued a new
network license to Elenia Verkko Oyj on equal terms as the license
previously held by Elenia Oy, which has now been cancelled as a
result of the Mergers.
In addition, the composition of the Board of Directors of each
of Elenia Verkko Oyj and Elenia Oy (formerly Elenia Palvelut Oy)
have been updated to reflect the new group structure. Effective in
each case as of 1 July 2020, the Board of Directors of Elenia
Verkko Oyj will comprise Tapani Liuhala (Chairman), Jarkko Kohtala,
Jorma Myllymäki, Alli Seppänen, Ville Sihvola and Tommi Valento,
and the Board of Directors of Elenia Oy (formerly Elenia Palvelut
Oy) will comprise Timo Rajala (Chairman), Mark Braithwaite, Eduard
Fidler, Tapani Liuhala, Thomas Metzger, Jorma Myllymäki, Sirpa
Ojala and Michael Pfennig. In addition, Tapani Liuhala will serve
as the Managing Director of both companies. The composition of the
Board of Directors of each of the other two remaining guarantors
under the Programme following completion of the Reorganisation,
being Lakeside Network Investments S.à r.l. and Elenia Investments
S.à r.l., will remain unchanged.
The completion of the Mergers is an important step towards
completing the Reorganisation, the key purposes of which include
bringing the operating assets and the cash flows of the networks
business within the same group entity as interest costs and
financing cash flows, resulting in a simpler and more reliable
servicing of debt. The remaining steps of the Reorganisation are
scheduled to be completed by 31 July 2020.
Further information regarding the Reorganisation is included in
the prospectus published by Elenia Finance Oyj on 22 January 2020,
