Evli Bank Plc will act as the share subscription agent. In case you wish to subscribe shares with your stock options please contact Evli help desk phone +358 9 4766 9931 or operations(at)eam.fi in order to receive a share subscription form.

After signing the subscription form and paying the subscription price according to the payment instructions Evli Bank Plc will take care of the required entries in your book-entry account, whereby the options used for subscription will be removed and new shares of Talvivaara Mining Company Plc will be entered.

The subscribed share is not immediately available for selling on the stock exchange but the new shares will first be entered into the Trade Register and after that the shares will be applied for listing on the stock exchange as a so-called supplementary lot.
