MT Højgaard Holding A/S’ business unit Ajos A/S has divested its crane department to crane company Normas Cranes A/S effective 1 April 2021. A sales price of DKK 62 million for the shares has been agreed. The transaction comprises 7 specialised employees at 2 locations and the crane fleet with more than 50 tower and semi-mobile cranes as well as the crane department’s orderbook. “We are selling a well-run crane business to sharpen our focus on the shed, module and pavilion markets where we have a really good position and see increasing demand with particularly strong progress for our Nordic Swan Eco-labelled pavilion modules. We have to continuously invest to maintain momentum in these activities, and we are therefore prioritising our resources,” says Ole Wamsler, CEO of Ajos. After the sale of the crane activities in 2021 and the hoist activities in the autumn of 2020, Ajos will invest in strengthening the company’s position within the establishment and operations of construction sites as well as sales, establishment and rental of sheds, modules and Nordic Swan Eco-labelled pavilion modules. The pavilions are increasingly being used as temporary schools and institutions, or for temporary housing in connection with large-scale renovation projects as well as for students, senior citizens, refugees, homeless and others with an acute need for a temporary home. Several modules can be combined and erected as multi-level structures tailored to specific functions. ”Ajos sharpens its profile with the sale of the crane business, which enables the company to invest in selected business areas with a special focus on sustainable solutions that play an increasingly important role in the construction industry and are an integrated part of our strategy across all business units in the MT Højgaard Holding group,” says Morten Hansen, CEO of MT Højgaard Holding. The sale of Ajos’ crane activities does not change MT Højgaard Holding’s previously announced outlook for revenue and operating profit before special items and PPA amortisation.

The leading tour operator in the Baltic States “Novaturas” Group is increasing the Egyptian program. From March, 4 flights per week will be operated from Lithuania and Estonia to the main Egyptian resorts. "In February 2021, after almost one-year break, we have resumed flights to Egypt. On the 13th of February the first plane to Sharm el Sheikh took off from Estonia, and on the 20th of February - from Lithuania to Hurghada. We have started with two flights per week program from the Lithuanian and Estonian markets. After assessing the demand, in March we have added additional flight chains to the Egyptian resorts from Vilnius and Tallinn. After the period of forced operations suspension, the increase in planned activity volumes gives optimism about accelerating holiday season. More frequent flights will give travelers the opportunity to plan their holidays more flexibly and choose from wider range of holiday durations just as it was usual before the pandemic”, says Audronė Keinytė, head of “Novaturas” group. According to The Company, Egypt has always been the most popular winter holiday destination. During the 2019-2020 winter holiday season 39.4 thousand travelers from all the Baltics travelled to the Egyptian resorts and the Egyptian program accounted for 68% of the whole winter holiday season program. About “Novaturas” Group AB “Novaturas” Group is the largest tour operator in the Baltic States, offering summer and winter package holidays in more than 30 destinations worldwide and more than 100 sightseeing routes.

(Bloomberg) -- Oil demonstrated its resilience in the week’s opening session, rebounding from the biggest slump since November ahead of a key OPEC+ meeting that may see some supply returned to a fast-tightening market.Futures in New York rose toward $63 a barrel after losing 3.2% on Friday. The alliance gathers on Thursday and is expected to loosen the taps after prices got off to their best ever start to a year. But it’s unclear how robustly the group will act, with the Saudi Arabian energy minister calling for producers to remain “extremely cautious.” A weaker dollar also supported crude.See also: OPEC+ Faces Calls to Cool Oil Market Frenzy With Extra BarrelsOil’s recovery from the impact of the pandemic has been driven by Asian demand, as well as fiscal and monetary stimulus. Data Monday showed most key manufacturing economies gained ground last month, with China staying in expansionary territory. In the U.S., President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief plan moved closer to realization after passing the House of Representatives.Saudi Arabia’s reductions, the improving demand outlook as vaccines are rolled out, and the growing popularity of commodities as a hedge against inflation have pushed oil higher this year. There has been a raft of bullish calls in recent weeks predicting the rally will continue as the producer response trails consumption, while maintenance in North Sea fields is set to reduce supply.“The OPEC+ meeting is very important,” said Michael McCarthy, chief markets strategist at CMC Markets Asia Pacific. The “market could remain easily positive in the face of a modest increase in OPEC+ production. If there is a large increase, then it could dampen the outlook in the short term,” he said.At stake in the meeting is how much OPEC+ output gets restored and at what pace, with current reductions amounting to just over 7 million barrels a day, or 7% of global supply. The 23-nation coalition will decide whether to revive a 500,000-barrel tranche in April, and in addition, whether the Saudis confirm an extra 1 million barrels they’ve taken offline will return as scheduled.Brent’s prompt timespread was 72 cents a barrel in backwardation, a bullish structure with near-dated prices above later-dated ones. That compares with 25 cents at the start of February and a discount at the beginning of the year.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

(Bloomberg) -- GameStop. Nokia. The Bank of Japan?Japan’s central bank joined the ranks of equities with puzzling surges in valuation led by retail investors on Monday, as its shares surged by their daily limit. The stock rose 18%, the most since 2005, to 33,000 yen a share.Even experienced investors are often surprised to learn that as well as being Japan’s lender of last resort and a key pillar supporting the equity market, the BOJ is itself a publicly listed entity on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s Jasdaq section.As an asset, the stock is hardly attractive -- carrying no voting rights and offering extremely limited dividends. But in an era when sneakers are an asset class and a joke cryptocurrency is worth $6 billion, the chance to buy a bank that literally prints money may be too good a proposition for retail investors to pass up.“One shouldn’t treat BOJ shares as a normal stock -- that’s nonsense,” said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. “But since the BOJ’s share price is driven by retail investors, it can show what the sentiment is like among that group.”Despite the minuscule trading volume with only 4,100 shares exchanged, Monday’s spike was enough to catch the attention of day traders on Twitter and other online forums where Japan’s growing horde of retail investors share their insights. Many were bewildered by the move. Others seemed surprised to learn that the country’s central bank was in fact a listed stock.From 2015: The Double Mystery of BOJ Stock Rally Boosting Japan’s MegabanksThe BOJ is one of the world’s few publicly traded central banks, with peers including Belgium, Greece and Switzerland. The government holds most of its shares with a 55% stake, while individual investors have 40%.There’s no real benefit to owning a share, or subscriber certificates as they’re technically called. For some, it’s merely a status symbol. In the bubble era of the 1980s, some individual investors used to frame their certificates of ownership as a sort of collectible, Fujito explained. At its peak in October 1989, a single BOJ share cost an eye-watering 745,000 yen, more than twenty times its current valuation.“Short-term retail investors don’t care about dividends, they’re looking just for capital gains,” said Tomoichiro Kubota, a senior market analyst at Matsui Securities Co. “They’ll see it as attractive so long as the share price keeps rising and there are buyers.”With Japan’s stocks recently climbing to 30-year highs, retail investor sentiment is improving, Fujito said. Individual investors accounted for 27% of the trading value in the Tokyo and Nagoya Stock Exchanges as of Feb. 19, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.(Updates with final share price, additional comment from analyst in ninth paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

The world's biggest central banks will happily live with higher inflation and investors now aggressively betting on a quicker end to monetary stimulus are all but certain to be proved wrong. After a decade of underestimating inflation, central bankers in the United States, Europe and Japan have every reason keep money taps open and policymakers are even rewriting their own rules so they can let price growth overshoot their targets. If anything, central banks are more likely to nudge up stimulus, particularly in the euro zone, keeping borrowing costs depressed and ignoring the inflation hawks at least until growth is back to pre-pandemic levels -- and not just fleetingly.

Tryg's majority shareholder, TryghedsGruppen, has irrevocably undertaken towards Tryg and each of the Joint Global Coordinators in connection with the Offering to (i) subscribe for New Shares at the Subscription Price for a cash amount of approximately DKK 12.6 billion, and (ii) in addition to the cash amount in (i), participate in the Offering on a cash neutral basis (please refer to the section "Underwriting and subscription commitments" in this announcement for further information).The Offering is made at a subscription ratio of 7:6.Each holder of Existing Shares registered with VP Securities on 5 March 2021 at 5.59 p.m. CET as a shareholder in Tryg will be allocated 7 Preemptive Rights for each Existing Share held in Tryg. For every 6 Preemptive Rights, the holder is entitled to subscribe for one (1) New Share at the Subscription Price. The Preemptive Rights have been approved for trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen under the interim ISIN code DK0061534450.The subscription period for New Shares commences on 8 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 19 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET (the "Subscription Period").The Preemptive Rights can be traded in the period commencing 4 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 17 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET (the "Rights Trading Period").The Interim Shares will be issued under an interim ISIN code DK0061534534 and have been conditionally approved for admission to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen in the interim ISIN code as from 4 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and are expected to be traded in the interim ISIN code under the symbol "TRYG N" until 26 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET.Any Preemptive Rights that have not been exercised during the Subscription Period will lapse with no value, and the holder of such Preemptive Rights will not be entitled to any compensation. Once a holder of Preemptive Rights has exercised such rights and subscribed for New Shares, such subscription cannot be withdrawn or modified by the holder, except as set forth in the Prospectus.Existing Shares traded after 3 March 2021 will be traded without Preemptive Rights, provided that the Existing Shares are traded at customary two-day settlement. Reference is made to the Prospectus in its entirety for a description of the Company and the Offering. Reason for the Offering and use of proceedsThe purpose of the Offering is for Tryg to raise funds to finance its contribution to the cash consideration for the acquisition by Intact Financial Corporation of the entire issued and to be issued capital of RSA Insurance Group plc ("RSA") (the "Acquisition") and associated separation of RSA's Scandinavian business whereby Intact Financial Corporation will retain RSA's Canadian, UK and international operations. Tryg will retain RSA's Swedish and Norwegian businesses and Intact Financial Corporation and Tryg will co-own RSA's Danish business on a 50:50 economic basis. Hence, the majority of the proceeds from the Offering (up to DKK 36,685,090,866.97) will be used to pay the consideration payable by Tryg under the Tryg SPA for the Tryg Consideration Shares at completion of the Acquisition. The funds payable by Tryg under the Tryg SPA shall be paid in GBP and the specific amount payable by Tryg will be calculated in accordance with the terms of the Tryg SPA (expected to amount to approximately GBP 4.2 billion, corresponding to up to DKK 36,685,090,866.97, based on the exchange rates agreed under certain deal-contingent FX forward agreements entered into between Tryg and each of Danske Bank and Morgan Stanley). The remaining part of the proceeds from the Offering will be used to cover part of the fees payable by Tryg in connection with the Offering to the Managers. Any remaining fees and cost reimbursements payable to the Managers and Tryg's other advisers will be paid using other funds held by Tryg. The part of the proceeds from the Offering required to satisfy Tryg's obligation to pay the consideration payable by Tryg under the Tryg SPA for the Tryg Consideration Shares at completion of the Acquisition will be paid into a designated DKK-denominated escrow account held by Danske Bank. Prior to completion of the Acquisition, the funds in the DKK-denominated escrow account will be converted into GBP (under certain deal-contingent FX forward agreements entered into between Tryg and Danske Bank and Morgan Stanley, respectively) and transferred to a designated GBP-denominated escrow account held by Danske Bank. The proceeds will be held in such escrow account for the benefit of Tryg until the later of (i) the time re-registration of RSA as a private limited company occurs; or (ii) completion of the Acquisition, upon which the funds in the GBP-denominated escrow account will be held for the benefit of Intact Holdco (with Intact Holdco being entitled to direct the payment of such funds). The New Shares will be issued in accordance with article 8A of the Articles of Association, according to which the Supervisory Board is authorised to increase the share capital by one or more issues of new shares at a total nominal value of up to DKK 36,980,000,000 (corresponding to 7,396,000,000 shares of the nominal value of DKK 5 each) by way of cash contribution and with Preemptive Rights for the Existing Shareholders. Under this authorisation, the Supervisory Board adopted a resolution on 1 March 2021 to increase Tryg's nominal share capital by DKK 1,762,529,945 (352,505,989 New Shares with a nominal value of DKK 5 each). On the basis of a Subscription Price of DKK 105 per New Share and issuance of 352,505,989 New Shares with a nominal value of DKK 5 each and that the Offering is fully underwritten, the gross proceeds to Tryg from the subscriptions for New Shares will be DKK 37.013 billion and the net proceeds are expected to be approximately DKK 36.463 billion after deduction of commissions and estimated expenses payable by Tryg in connection with the Offering. An amount of DKK 36,685,090,866.97 must be paid into the above-mentioned DKK-denominated escrow account with Danske Bank, and fees and cost reimbursements payable to the Managers may only be paid from the remaining part of the gross proceeds of the Offering up to an amount of DKK 328,037,978.03. In the event that the Acquisition does not complete and no suitable alternative use for the proceeds is found, the net proceeds from the Offering would ultimately be returned to the Shareholders. Statutory restrictions under Danish law such as in relation to regulatory and solvency requirements, the level of reserves available for distribution and the financial and operating performance of Tryg, may prevent Tryg from returning the full proceeds of the Offering to Shareholders. Status on regulatory approvalsIn relation to the Acquisition, as set out in the Prospectus, it is noted that the required approvals from each of the Canadian Competition Bureau, Swedish Competition Authority and the Norwegian Competition Authority, all of which are conditions to the Acquisition, have now been received. The Saudi General Authority for Competition has provided confirmation that competition approval is not deemed necessary. The Acquisition remains subject to a number of outstanding conditions which include, as set out in the Prospectus: (i) receipt of the required regulatory clearances to implement the Acquisition, including from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, (ii) regulatory clearances in each of Canada, Ireland, Luxembourg, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Brazil, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia, and (iii) receipt of the required competition approval from the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority. Underwriting and subscription commitmentsTryg has entered into the Underwriting Agreement dated 1 March 2021 in connection with the Offering. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Underwriting Agreement, any New Shares that have not been subscribed for by the Existing Shareholders through the exercise of their allocated or acquired Preemptive Rights or by other investors through the exercise of their acquired Preemptive Rights before the expiry of the Subscription Period (the "Remaining Shares") will be subscribed for by an underwriting syndicate consisting of the Managers. Therefore, subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, Tryg has ensured that all New Shares will be subscribed for corresponding to aggregate gross proceeds of DKK 37,013 million. Tryg's majority shareholder, TryghedsGruppen, has previously signed an irrevocable subscription undertaking under which TryghedsGruppen irrevocably has undertaken towards Tryg and each of the Joint Global Coordinators in connection with the Offering to (i) subscribe for New Shares for a total subscription amount of DKK 12,585,329,264 (the "TryghedsGruppen Firm Shares"), including by using the net proceeds of the sale of Existing Shares which occurred on 23 November 2020, and (ii) further participate in the Offering on a cash neutral basis (after transaction costs) by subscribing for the maximum number of New Shares that it can using the net proceeds (after the transaction costs) arising from the sale of Preemptive Rights as soon as reasonably practicable during the Subscription Period (the subscriptions under (ii) to be in excess of the cash amount referenced in (i) above). Any Preemptive Rights sold by TryghedsGruppen will be exercised and the resulting Interim Shares or New Shares will be sold, at the discretion of the Joint Global Coordinators on behalf of TryghedsGruppen, in open market transactions, private placements, block trades or otherwise. Morten Hübbe, Group CEO of Tryg, said:"The acquisition of RSA's Swedish and Norwegian businesses, Trygg-Hansa in Sweden and Codan in Norway, will fulfil a long-time wish to strengthen Tryg's position in Sweden and Norway. Tryg will make a strong three-legged business across the countries – and at the same time, we expect Tryg to become the biggest non-life insurer in Scandinavia. It has not been a target to be the largest player on the market, but rather to attain benefits from scalability, e.g. in relation to innovation of new products, services and digital solutions, which essentially makes it simpler to feel protected and cared for in all three countries. Additionally, we see a strong cultural fit regarding social responsibility with Trygg-Hansa and Codan in Norway. Trygg-Hansa supports a wide range of beneficial social activities that is consistent with TrygFonden's activities within Safety, Health and Well-being. The company has supplied 80,000 lifebuoys in Sweden which match Tryg's similar activities in Norway with more than 47,000 lifebuoys along the Norwegian coasts. Finally, there is a strong financial rationale to support the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to strongly improve the technical result and increase the premium income significantly. All else equal, this will increase the dividend which we aim to pay out to our shareholders on an annual basis. The Acquisition will also have a positive impact on the societal commitment that our majority owner TryghedsGruppen achieves through, among other things, TrygFonden's activities."

Subscription PeriodThe Subscription Period for the New Shares commences on 8 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 19 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET. The Preemptive Rights can be traded in the period commencing 4 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 17 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET. Any Preemptive Rights that are not exercised during the Subscription Period will lapse with no value, and the holder of such Preemptive Rights will not be entitled to compensation. Once a holder of Preemptive Rights has exercised such rights and subscribed for New Shares, such subscription cannot be withdrawn or modified by the holder, except as set forth in the Prospectus. Withdrawal of the OfferingCompletion of the Offering is conditional upon the Offering not being withdrawn. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Managers are subject to the following conditions, excluding any conditions which have been satisfied as at the date of the Prospectus: (i) there not having occurred certain insolvency related events in relation to Tryg prior to the registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority; (ii) the Scheme not having lapsed or been validly withdrawn in accordance with its terms prior to the registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority (or if the Acquisition is structured as a Takeover Offer, such Takeover Offer not having lapsed, been terminated or validly withdrawn in accordance with its terms) prior to the registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority; and (iii) no notification having been received from Nasdaq Copenhagen that the approval for admission to trading and official listing of the New Shares, has been withdrawn prior to the registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority. If, by the times specified above, or if no time is specified, prior to registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority, any of the conditions above is not satisfied (or waived by the Joint Global Coordinators on behalf of the Managers), the Joint Global Coordinators will on behalf of the Managers be entitled to terminate the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the Joint Global Coordinators on behalf of the Managers will be entitled to terminate the Underwriting Agreement in the event that the registration of the New Shares is refused by the Danish Business Authority. Other than as set out above, the Joint Global Coordinators on behalf of the Managers will not be entitled to terminate the Underwriting Agreement. If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, the Offering will be withdrawn. The termination rights of the Joint Global Coordinators (on behalf of the Managers) under the Underwriting Agreement will lapse upon registration of the New Shares with the Danish Business Authority, currently expected to take place on 25 March 2021. Any withdrawal of the Offering will be announced immediately via Nasdaq Copenhagen. Any Preemptive Rights that are not exercised during the Subscription Period will lapse with no value, and the holder of such Preemptive Rights will not be entitled to compensation. If the Offering is not completed, any exercise of Preemptive Rights that has already taken place will be cancelled automatically. The subscription amount for the New Shares will be refunded (less any transaction costs) to the last registered owner of the New Shares as at the date of withdrawal. All Preemptive Rights will be null and void, and no New Shares will be issued. However, trades of Preemptive Rights executed during the Rights Trading Period, which commences on 4 March 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CET and closes on 17 March 2021 at 5:00 p.m. CET, will not be affected. As a result, Shareholders and investors who have acquired Preemptive Rights will incur a loss corresponding to the purchase price of the Preemptive Rights and any transaction costs. Trades in Existing Shares and Interim Shares will also not be affected, if the Offering does not complete, and Shareholders and investors that have acquired Interim Shares will receive a refund of the subscription amount for the New Shares (less any transaction costs). As a result, Shareholders and investors that have acquired Interim Shares will incur a loss corresponding to the difference between the purchase price of the Interim Shares and the Subscription Price paid for the New Shares and any transaction costs. Minimum and/or maximum subscription amountThe minimum number of New Shares that a holder of Preemptive Rights may subscribe will be one (1) New Share, requiring the exercise of 6 Preemptive Rights and the payment of the Subscription Price. The number of New Shares that a holder of Preemptive Rights may subscribe is not capped. However, the number is limited to the number of New Shares which may be subscribed through the exercise of the Preemptive Rights held or acquired. PaymentUpon exercise of the Preemptive Rights, the holder must pay an amount equal to the Subscription Price multiplied by the number of New Shares subscribed for. Payment for the New Shares shall be made in Danish kroner and shall be made upon subscription against registration of the New Shares in the transferee's account with VP Securities. Holders of Preemptive Rights shall adhere to the account agreement with their own Danish custodian institution or other financial intermediary, through which they hold Shares. Financial intermediaries through which a holder holds Preemptive Rights may require payment on an earlier date. Procedure for exercise of and dealings in Preemptive Rights and treatment of Preemptive RightsThe Preemptive Rights have been approved for trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen under the interim ISIN code DK0061534450. Holders of Preemptive Rights wishing to subscribe for New Shares must do so through their own custodian institution, in accordance with the rules of such institution. The deadline for notification of exercise depends on the holder's agreement with, and the rules and procedures of, the relevant custodian institution or other financial intermediary and may be earlier than the end of the Subscription Period. Once a holder has exercised its Preemptive Rights, the exercise may not be revoked or modified. Pre-allotment informationThere is no pre-allotment of New Shares. The New Shares may be subscribed for by the Existing Shareholders through exercise of the allocated or acquired Preemptive Rights or by other investors through the exercise of their acquired Preemptive Rights before the expiry of the Subscription Period.

In the event that the Managers subscribe any New Shares that have not been subscribed for by the Existing Shareholders, the Managers may co-ordinate disposals of such shares in accordance with applicable law and regulation.

The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offering.
