Investment AB Latour ("Latour") contemplates to divest Class B shares in Securitas AB ("Securitas") and Class B shares in ASSA ABLOY AB ("ASSA ABLOY"), amounting to SEK 2.5 billion in Securitas and ASSA ABLOY, respectively, to Swedish and international institutional investors in two separate accelerated book-building processes. Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) ("SEB") has been retained as Sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner and J.P. Morgan SE ("J.P. Morgan") has been retained as Joint Bookrunner to explore the opportunity to divest the shares.

In Securitas, Latour currently holds 19.9 million Class A and 42.6 million Class B shares, representing 29.6 per cent of the total number of voting rights and 10.9 per cent of the share capital. In ASSA ABLOY, Latour currently holds 41.6 million Class A and 63.8 million Class B shares, representing 29.4 per cent of the total number of voting rights and 9.5 per cent of the share capital.

"Latour is a committed long-term owner of Securitas and ASSA ABLOY, and remains the largest shareholder in both companies, with full support for their respective long-term strategies. We are immensely proud of the successful journeys of these two world-leading companies, as they have been with Latour since the beginning and truly embody the Latour culture. By realizing a smaller portion of the value created in both companies, Latour further strengthens its ability to continue investing in the wholly-owned industrial operations, that has seen attractive returns, and grown from a turnover of SEK 7 billion to SEK 28 billion during the last 10 years", says Johan Hjertonsson, President and CEO Latour.

The price per share in the divestments and the final number of shares to be offered to Swedish and international institutional investors will be determined through two separate accelerated book-building processes. The book-building processes commence today, May 26, 2026, at 17:31 CEST and may close at any time on short notice by SEB and J.P. Morgan. Further announcement will be made following completion of the book-buildings.

Latour has agreed to customary lock-up undertakings of 180 days in relation to its remaining shareholdings in both Securitas and ASSA ABLOY following the partial divestments, subject to customary exceptions or waiver by SEB and J.P. Morgan.
