Creditors do not oppose YIT’s partial demerger

In connection with YIT Corporation’s (“YIT”) partial demerger where YIT’s Building Systems business will be transferred to Caverion Corporation, a public limited liability company to be incorporated in the demerger, the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland gave a public notice to YIT’s creditors for the execution of the creditor protection procedure on February 22, 2013. None of YIT’s creditors have informed the National Board of Patents and Registration of their opposition to the demerger by the due date for the opposition, June 4, 2013, and there are thus no obstacles to the implementation of the demerger. The demerger shall be resolved by YIT’s extraordinary general meeting on June 17, 2013 and the planned registration date for the implementation of the demerger is June 30, 2013.

The demerger circular relating to Caverion Corporation has been published on June 5, 2013, and it is available on YIT’s website (www.yitgroup.com).
