Pandora today releases a trading update for February 2021. The trading update is, as the January trading update, released as a press release, and not a company announcement, per instructions from NASDAQ Copenhagen. Pandora has previously communicated that the company would, when relevant, release extraordinary trading updates due to the elevated uncertainty related to COVID-19. During February, the number of stores closed due to COVID-19 decreased from around 30% at the beginning of the month to around 25% by the end of the month. In February, the organic growth was 12% and total sell-out growth was 7% compared to February 2020. This translates into a quarter to date organic growth of 4% and total sell-out growth of 1%. Compared to February 2019, organic growth was 10% and total sell-out growth was -2% (quarter to date 5% and -6% respectively). Pandora is pleased with the performance so far in 2021. Considering that 25-30% of the stores were closed during January and February, the underlying trading continues to indicate that sell-out is stabilizing or growing. Sell-out growth in the US continues to be very strong. Pandora maintains its financial guidance for 2021: Organic growth “Above 8%” and EBIT margin “Above 21%”. ABOUT PANDORAPandora designs, manufactures and markets hand-finished jewellery made from high-quality materials at affordable prices.

On 4 March 2021, Nordax Bank AB (publ) (“Nordax”) announced its intention to launch a voluntary offer for the shares in Norwegian Finans Holding ASA (“NFH” or “the Company”), subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence. The proposed offer price is NOK 95 per NFH share in cash, representing a 16.5% premium to the undisturbed closing price of NFH on 3 March 2021. After careful assessment, and also taking into consideration views expressed by shareholders, the Board of Directors of NFH has today responded to Nordax. Given the Company’s best in class profitability, exceptionally strong capitalisation and standalone growth prospects, the Board of Directors believes that the indicated offer price significantly undervalues the Company and its prospects. Further, the Company notes that the minimum acceptance level of 50.1% of the shares of the company is undesirable both from a regulatory and governance perspective. Taking all relevant considerations into account, the proposal by Nordax is not viewed by the Board of Directors to be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company, and does therefore not form a basis for commencement of a process. The Board of Directors will evaluate any further proposals made by Nordax or any proposal made by any other party in the best interest of shareholders. Arctic Securities AS and J.P. Morgan are acting as financial advisors and Advokatfirmaet Thommessen and Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig are acting as legal advisors to NFH.
