Sampo plc: Correction to Disclosure Under Chapter 9 Section 5 of the Securities Market Act (BlackRock, Inc.) and a new notification from BlackRock
Correction to Sampo plc’s stock exchange release regarding BlackRock’s notification of major holdings on 21 March 2022 at 8:00 pm. Due to a technical rounding error, the total number of Sampo A shares owned directly or indirectly by BlackRock, Inc. and its funds was misreported to have increased above 5 per cent of Sampo plc’s total stock. The correct, unrounded share was still below 5 per cent. All the other information in the release was correct.
