Sanoma Corporation: Notification of a change in shareholding according to Chapter 9, Section 10 of the Securities Market Act

Sanoma Corporation (Sanoma) has received a notification under Chapter 9, Section 5 of the Securities Market Act (SMA) from RR & Co Ab on 9 September 2026. According to the notification, the total holding of Sanoma's shares and voting rights owned by RR & Co Ab exceeded the threshold of 10% as a result of share transactions concluded on 9 September 2026.

To pursue a generational transfer of their ownership in Sanoma, the siblings Robin Langenskiöld and Rafaela Seppälä have, through transfers carried out on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. on 9 September 2026, sold their entire shareholding in Sanoma to RR & Co Ab. The purchase price was based on the market price of the Sanoma share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, less an agreed discount.

RR & Co Ab is a newly established company owned and controlled by Robin Langenskiöld's and Rafaela Seppälä's children and grandchildren. Robin Langenskiöld and Rafaela Seppälä hold no ownership in, or control over, RR & Co Ab, either directly or indirectly, and the parties to the trans-fers are independent of each other.

The controlled generational transfer of ownership is intended to maintain the family's shareholding in Sanoma under a unified ownership structure and to avoid avoidable fragmentation of ownership.
