Restaurant company Restamax Plc has agreed with the owners ("Sellers") of Restala Oy a share exchange whereby Restamax acquires all the shares in Restala Oy. Restala Oy owns 82 per cent of Unioninkadun keidas Oy, which engages in the restaurant business. Unioninkadun keidas Oy owns the Colorado Bar & Grill restaurants at Ruka, Levi, Pyhä and in Helsinki. In addition, the company owns the Mura Sushi restaurant at Ruka and the Kuura and Pizza Block restaurants at Levi. The company also has catering business operations at Levi.

Restamax's Board of Directors have on 14 November 2016 resolved to issue and direct, on the basis of an authorization granted by the General Meeting of the company, in total 440,000 new shares in Restamax to the Sellers in order to execute the share exchange. The subscription price of the new shares is EUR 6.02 per share, which represents the closing price of Restamax's share on 11 November 2016. The total subscription price is therefore EUR 2,648,800 and this amount shall be booked in the company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The directed share issue has a weighty financial reason for the company since the issue makes it possible for the company to acquire all of the shares in Restala Oy. The shares to be issued in the directed share issue entitle to dividends and all other shareholder rights from the company's accounting period ending 31 December 2016. Restamax will apply listing of the shares to be issued in the directed share issue on the main list of Nasdaq Helsinki Oy without delay.
