CORRECTION: State transfers bonus shares allocated in connection with Posti share sale

The State transferred a total of 79,191 Posti Group bonus shares on 9 October 2026. The shares were credited to subscribers’ book-entry accounts on 12 October 2026.

In connection with the initial public offering and sale of Posti Group Corporation’s shares in autumn 2025, private investors had the opportunity to subscribe for shares eligible for bonus shares. Subscribers who retained the qualifying shares in their portfolios for 12 consecutive months were entitled to receive one bonus share for every ten qualifying shares allocated to them in the share sale. 

Based on the shares eligible for bonus shares, the State transferred a total of 79,191 shares in accordance with the shareholder register as at the record date of 9 October 2026. The shares were credited to subscribers’ book-entry accounts on 12 October 2026.

“Posti’s public share sale was oversubscribed many times over, and we believe that the opportunity to subscribe for shares eligible for bonus shares increased demand among private investors. By offering the bonus shares, the State sought to encourage retail investors to participate and strengthen Finnish ownership,” said Maija Strandberg, Director General of the Ownership Steering Department at the Prime Minister’s Office. 

Posti had 18,065 shareholders at the end of September 2026.

Following the transfer of the bonus shares, the State will own 65.6 per cent of Posti’s shares, compared with 65.8 per cent before the transfer.

The press release has been corrected on October 12th at 10.15: The number of shares transferred has been corrected from 79,181 shares to 79,191 shares.
