Brysselissä nikotellaan UPM:n ja Sappin paperijärjestelyä

UPM tiedotti keskiviikkona, että Euroopan komissio on antanut väitetiedoksiannon yhtiön ja Sappin suunnittelemasta graafisten paperien yhteisyrityksestä. Asiasta uutisoi tiistaina myös Bloomberg. Väitetiedoksianto on tavanomainen vaihe komission perusteellisessa yrityskauppatutkinnassa, jossa se esittää tarkempia tietoja alustavista huolenaiheistaan. Uutinen ei ollut meille yllätys, sillä alan järjestelyt ovat perinteisesti vaatineet viranomaisilta tarkkaa harkintaa, ja yhtiöiden yhteenlasketut markkinaosuudet ovat Euroopassa paikallisesti korkeita. Tiedote ei aiheuta muutoksia ennusteisiimme, sillä emme ole toistaiseksi sisällyttäneet järjestelyä lukuihimme kilpailuviranomaisprosessin epävarmuuden vuoksi.

UPM ja Sappi käyvät väitetiedoksiannon läpi ja vastaavat siihen aikanaan. Olemme aiemmin arvioineet, että EU:n komission toisen vaiheen tutkinta vähintäänkin lisää todennäköisyyttä, että yhtiöiden on tehtävä myönnytyksiä saadakseen yhdistymiselle hyväksynnän. Pidämme yhä mahdollisena, että komissio voi joko hyväksyä tai hylätä järjestelyn. Olemme suhtautuneet järjestelyyn yhtiön kannalta lievästi positiivisesti, sillä se irrottaisi konsernin rakenteellisesti supistuvan liiketoiminnan suorasta omistuksesta. Järjestelyn vaikutus UPM:n osakkeeseen ei kuitenkaan ole mielestämme erityisen suuri, sillä paperiliiketoimintojen arvo on rajallinen suhteessa UPM:n koko yritysarvoon.
