    Sampo Trims NOBA Bank Stake for €111M, Agrees to 45-Day Lock-Up

    Question

    Sampo Trims NOBA Bank Stake for €111M, Agrees to 45-Day Lock-Up

    Direct answer

    Nordic insurer Sampo plc completed a secondary sell-down of 14.7 million shares in NOBA Bank Group AB, generating €111 million in gross proceeds. The divestment brings Sampo's residual equity holding in NOBA down from roughly 14.7% to 10.01%. Both Sampo and private equity co-investor Nordic Capital entered into a 45-day lock-up agreement on their remaining shares, mitigating near-term secondary overhang while Sampo continues streamlining its portfolio toward pure-play P&C insurance.
