Salix Group is hosting its Capital Markets Day today at Helio GT30, Grev Turegatan 30, in Stockholm. During the day, an in-depth review will be given of Salix Group’s business areas, prioritised customer segments, strategic direction, and financial profile and targets as a separately listed company. The presentation and a recording from the day will subsequently be made available on Salix Group’s website.
 
Volati’s Annual General Meeting resolved on 29 April 2026 to distribute all of Volati’s shares in its subsidiary Salix Group to Volati’s ordinary shareholders. The first day of trading in Salix Group is expected to be 15 June 2026, and the first day of trading in Volati’s ordinary share without the right to receive shares in Salix Group is 10 June 2026. Volati’s preference shares are not affected by the distribution.
 
Ahead of the separate listing, the leverage ratios of Volati and Salix Group have been harmonised so that both companies display a comparable level of leverage. The aim is to ensure a balanced and well-founded capital structure in each company as standalone entities. Both Volati’s and Salix Group’s respective leverage ratios are expected to remain in line with each company’s respective financial targets following the separate listing of Salix Group.
 
In addition, Volati and Salix Group have each separately entered into new financing agreements with Nordea and SEB, which will take effect in connection with the separate listing on 15 June 2026. The terms of the agreements are largely unchanged, reflecting the banks’ continued confidence in each company. As part of the refinancing, the total credit facility has been increased by SEK 1.35 billion to a total of SEK 5 billion, equally divided between Volati and Salix Group. The expanded credit facility provides financial flexibility to support continued acquisition-driven growth in both companies.
