Today, trading in SSAB (STO:SSABA)(STO:SSABB) shares will, for the first time, commence on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki under the ticker names SSABAH and SSABBH (class A and class B shares respectively). The shares will be quoted in euro.

In conjunction with SSAB’s completion of the combination with the Finnish company Rautaruukki, SSAB has applied for a secondary listing on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki, in addition to the current listing on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm.

We hope that the combined company will lead to greater interest in the SSAB share, and the listing on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki is an important step in this direction,” says Martin Lindqvist, President and CEO of SSAB.
