Finnish insurer Sampo to switch from Swedish depositary receipts to direct A-share listings on Nasdaq Stockholm in February 2026.

Finnish insurer Sampo plans to replace its Swedish Depositary Receipts with direct A share listings on Nasdaq Stockholm starting in February 2026, following a Euroclear Sweden policy change allowing Finnish issuers direct market access. The move, approved by the board, aims to boost liquidity, reduce tick size, and eliminate reliance on intermediaries like SEB. SDRs will be delisted, with A shares traded directly, aligning Sampo’s Swedish listing with its existing Helsinki and Copenhagen listings. A formal notice will be published on 6 November 2025, with trading in A shares expected to begin around 16 February 2026.
