Rules on Delisting of Shares

New rules regarding delisting at the issuer's initiative

On 21 May 2025, the Swedish Securities Council (ASK) will publish new rules on delisting shares at the issuer's initiative. The rules will enter into force on 1 September 2025.

The new rules on delisting mainly codify the Swedish Securities Council's practice in various matters concerning voluntary delisting, with certain adjustments to take account of market developments in recent years. Furthermore, certain changes have been made with regard to the possibility for issuers to obtain the approval of a delisting decision by the general meeting.

The new rules have been drawn up by a working group consisting of ASK Chair Eva Hägg, Executive Member of the Swedish Corporate Governance Board Björn Kristiansson, ASK Secretary Erik Lidman, Swedish Securities Council Director Rolf Skog, and lawyer Erik Sjöman, in consultation with a broadly composed reference group.
