Korjattuja tietoja aiemmin ilmoitetusta Nokian omistusosuudesta Alcatel-Lucentissa

 

Alcatel-Lucent antoi tänään korjatun ilmoituksen osakkeidensa ja ääniensä kokonaismäärästä 31.1.2016 lähtien. Tämän johdosta Nokia julkistaa tänään korjauksen aiemmin julkistettuihin tietoihin omistusosuudestaan Alcatel-Lucentissa. Korjatun ilmoituksen tietojen perusteella Nokia omisti Ranskassa ja Yhdysvalloissa Alcatel Lucentin arvopapereista tekemänsä julkisen osakevaihtotarjouksen jatketun tarjousajan selvityksen jälkeen 90,34 % Alcatel-Lucentin kaikista osakkeista ja 90,25 % äänistä, mikä vastaa 87,33 %:n omistusta Alcatel-Lucentin osakkeista täysi laimennusvaikutus huomioiden, eikä 91,25 % osakkeista ja 91,17 % äänistä kuten tiedotettiin Nokian 10.2.2016 ja 12.2.2016 julkaistuissa pörssitiedotteissa, Nokian 11.2.2016 julkaistun vuoden 2015 viimeisen neljänneksen ja koko vuoden 2015 katsauksen tilikauden päättymisen jälkeisiä tapahtumia koskevassa osiossa ja siihen liittyvissä osavuosikatsauksen liitetiedoissa, sekä Nokian 12.2.2016 julkaistun esitteen täydennysasiakirjan  osioissa "Tiivistelmä", "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects", "Capitalization and Indebtedness of Nokia" ja "Significant Change in Financial Condition or Operating Results".

 

Ensisijaiseen ja jatkettuun osakevaihtotarjoukseen sovelletulla parannetulla vaihtosuhteella vaihdettavaksi annettujen OCEANE-vaihtovelkakirjalainojen 12.2.2016 tehdyn vaihdon jälkeen Nokia omisti 91,53 % Alcatel-Lucentin kaikista osakkeista ja 91,45 % äänistä (eikä 92,34 % osakkeista ja 92,26 % äänistä kuten 12.2.2016 tiedotettiin). 19.2.2016 julkistetun suunnatun osakeannin jälkeen Nokia tulee omistamaan noin 91,84 % Alcatel-Lucentin kaikista osakkeista ja 91,77 % äänistä. Tämä vastaa noin 87,91 %:n omistusta Alcatel-Lucentin osakkeista täysi laimennusvaikutus huomioiden.

Nokia at Mobile World Congress: Bigger, stronger and seizing new opportunities in 5G and IoT #MWC16

Nokia at Mobile World Congress: Bigger, stronger and seizing new opportunities in 5G and IoT #MWC16

Press Release 

Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today outlined its approach as a renewed company for leading the development of next-generation 5G technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), targeting an addressable market opportunity that has nearly doubled in size following the acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent.

As part of its approach, delivered on the eve of Mobile World Congress, Nokia unveiled a series of announcements - from new 5G and IoT investments to a new 5G-ready product - that underscore the company's deep expertise in developing the technologies of tomorrow.

"We are planning to dramatically increase our investment in 5G this year and unleash the power of our massive innovation engine," Nokia President and CEO Rajeev Suri told a media and analyst briefing.

Suri announced a new 5G-ready AirScale radio access product to replace the very popular Flexi base station; Nokia's acquisition of Nakina, a Canadian software company that specializes in preventing, identifying and eliminating security threats; and the company's launch of a USD350 million IoT investment fund through Nokia's private venture firm, Nokia Growth Partners.

"We are already at the forefront of making 5G a reality and enabling massive capacity and massive connectivity - this is an integral part of our vision," Suri said.

"5G must happen fast because important IoT use cases demand it. If we know that 5G can help save lives, improve our environment, and make our lives better, we need to move faster, not slower, Suri said.

With Nokia's announcements today, Nokia is taking concrete steps to solidify its 5G leadership and demonstrate how it will drive the business forward, he added.

Alcatel-Lucent brings scale, scope

"Progress with integrating Alcatel-Lucent is going smoothly and effectively, avoiding the organizational angst and infighting that have characterized earlier deals," Suri said.

He added that the combined company is targeting many different cross-selling opportunities and making joint bids to customers around the world. These opportunities are all part of the critical scope that Alcatel-Lucent has given Nokia, Suri said, in addition to greater innovation heft, scale and customer reach.

"When you put Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent together, suddenly Nokia is in a dramatically different position with an addressable market that balloons to EUR141 billion. What we will be able to offer our customers - and their customers - is, simply, unparalleled," said Suri.

Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent had combined net sales at the end of 2015 of EUR 26.6 billion, combined R&D spend of EUR 4.5 billion in 2015 with over 40 000 researchers and scientists, and combined net cash of EUR 10 billion. The official "day one" for joint Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent operations was on January 14, 2016.

Ready for 5G and IoT

Nokia's new 5G-ready AirScale product supports any technology, from 2G through LTE Advance Pro and 5G when it arrives. It also includes a new base station with future-ready baseband and next generation RF elements that will give customers a connectivity experience that exceeds all others. AirScale also uses 60% less energy than the Flexi.

The Nakina acquisition, expected to close in the first quarter 2016, is part of a Nokia priority to have the best network security in place to enable 5G and IoT. The acquisition is consistent with Nokia's long-stated view to do small, 'bolt on' deals that give Nokia new technology and unique capabilities. 

The new IoT fund will invest in promising companies primarily around the Connected Enterprise, Consumer IoT, Connected Car, Digital Health as well as technologies with a focus on capabilities in big data and analytics. The fund will support Nokia in defining future business opportunities and the technical underpinnings for the rapidly growing IoT market.

At MWC in Barcelona this coming week, Nokia will give its perspective on a variety of important issues, including presentations by Mobile Networks' CTO Hossein Moiin on 5G and how Nokia is creating value for industry verticals; and by Nokia Chief Strategy Officer Kathrin Buvac who will discuss strategy and growth and the inclusion of women in the technology industry.

Visitors to Nokia's Experience Center in Hall 3, stand 3B and 3D can have a hands-on demonstration of OZO, Nokia Technologies' commercially available professional virtual reality camera that was launched to wide acclaim in July, 2015. Sign up here to receive daily MWC updates from Nokia.

Nokia strengthens security portfolio with planned acquisition of Nakina Systems

Nokia strengthens security portfolio with planned acquisition of Nakina Systems

Press Release

• The planned acquisition helps Nokia support customers facing increasing threats coming from 5G networks, Internet of Things , Big Data, Software Defined Networks and Cloud services
• Nokia also intends to use the planned acquisition to help customers meet growing regulatory and legal requirements for network security
• Nakina Systems is a Canadian software company specializing in security and orchestration software for virtual and hybrid networks
• Planned acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2016

 

February 21, 2016

 

Espoo, Finland - Nokia plans to acquire Canadian software firm Nakina Systems ("Nakina"), to reinforce its  position in security at a time when customers are bolstering their defenses to cope with the increasing demands of hyper connectivity, new regulations and emerging technologies. The companies previously had a five-year partnership where Nokia used Nakina's software in several customer projects.

 

Security is an integral part of any network solution. Nakina would provide Nokia with unique vendor- and technology-agnostic capabilities that allow operators to administer, control and audit security while simplifying the way insiders access critical network assets. With the planned acquisition, Nokia also strengthens its ability to manage privileged identities and isolate network security vulnerabilities.

 

These capabilities are important for operators wanting to protect their networks and avert service interruptions that could damage or degrade customer experience, cause revenue loss and/or lead to service level agreement penalties. Nakina's main customers operate some of the world's most demanding networks and include some of the world's largest global service providers.

 

Bhaskar Gorti, President of Applications and Analytics at Nokia, said: "The planned acquisition of Nakina is another example of the steps we are taking to build security and privacy into our networks from the beginning. As seventy percent of all security breaches originate from privileged insiders, Nakina gives us the ability to address a rapidly increasing threat for our customers."

 

Mary O'Neil, CEO of Nakina Systems, said: "Nakina bridges the security and operational gaps between the promise of cloud networks and operational realities of running high performance heterogeneous networks. With this deal, our customers will benefit from  Nokia's scale, leading expertise and investment scope for software and applications."

 

About Nokia

Nokia is a global leader in the technologies that connect people and things. Powered by the innovation of Bell Labs and Nokia Technologies, the company is at the forefront of creating and licensing the technologies that are increasingly at the heart of our connected lives. 

 

With state-of-the-art software, hardware and services for any type of network, Nokia is uniquely positioned to help communication service providers, governments, and large enterprises deliver on the promise of 5G, the Cloud and the Internet of Things. http://nokia.com

 

About Nakina Systems

Nakina offers a suite of Network Integrity applications for securing and optimizing physical and virtual networks. Nakina's applications are built upon a Network Integrity Framework - an open and modular software platform that abstracts network complexity, normalizes multi-vendor management, and bridges the physical and virtual worlds for management and orchestration. Nakina software is proven, trusted and protects the world's largest and most important networks. https://nakinasystems.com

Nokia laskee liikkeeseen uusia osakkeita suunnatulla osakeannilla

Published: 08:15 CET 19-02-2016 /GlobeNewswire /Source: NOKIA / : NOKIA /ISIN: FI0009000681

Nokia laskee liikkeeseen uusia osakkeita suunnatulla osakeannilla

Nokia Oyj

Pörssitiedote

19.2.2016 klo 9.15

 

Nokia laskee liikkeeseen uusia osakkeita suunnatulla osakeannilla

Nokia julkistaa tänään, että se on 2.12.2015 järjestetyn ylimääräisen yhtiökokouksen valtuutukseen perustuvalla, 18.2.2016 tehdyllä hallituksen päätöksellä antanut 6 501 503 uutta osaketta ("Osakkeet", yksittäin "Osake") osakkeenomistajien merkintäetuoikeudesta poiketen. Osakkeet on annettu vaihdettavaksi Alcatel-Lucentin osakkeisiin yksityisessä transaktiossa samalla vaihtosuhteella, jota tarjottiin Nokian äskettäin Ranskassa ja Yhdysvalloissa toteuttamissa julkisissa osakevaihtotarjouksissa Alcatel-Lucentin arvopapereista, eli 0,5500 Nokian osaketta jokaista Alcatel-Lucentin osaketta kohden, Nokian omistusosuuden kasvattamiseksi Alcatel-Lucentissa.

 

Osakkeet maksetaan apporttina Alcatel-Lucentin vaihdettavaksi tarjotuilla osakkeilla. Merkintähinta, yhteensä 36 343 401,77 euroa, perustuu Nokian osakkeen päätöskurssiin Nasdaq Helsingissä 18.2.2016, ja se kirjataan Nokian sijoitetun vapaan oman pääoman rahastoon. Näin ollen yhtiön 245 896 461,96 euron suuruinen osakepääoma ei muutu merkinnän seurauksena.

 

Nokia odottaa, että Osakkeet rekisteröidään kaupparekisteriin arviolta 24.2.2016. Nokian osakkeiden kokonaismäärä on rekisteröinnin jälkeen 5 775 945 340 kappaletta. Kyseiset Osakkeet tuottavat osinko-oikeuden sekä kaikki muut osakkeenomistajan oikeudet rekisteröintipäivästä lukien. Nokia arvioi, että Osakkeet otetaan kaupankäynnin kohteeksi Nasdaq Helsingissä ja Euronext Parisissa arviolta 25.2.2016.

Tämä pörssitiedote sisältää tulevaisuutta koskevia lausumia, jotka heijastavat Nokian tämän hetkisiä odotuksia ja näkemyksiä tulevaisuuden tapahtumista ja kehityksestä. Jotkin näistä lausumista voi tunnistaa sanoista tai ilmaisuista "odottaa", "tulee tekemään", "tulisi", ja muista vastaavista ilmaisuista. Näitä tulevaisuutta koskevia lausumia ovat muun muassa: odotettu vastike Osakkeista, Osakkeiden rekisteröintipäivä ja Nokian osakkeiden kokonaismäärä niiden rekisteröinnin jälkeen. Tällaisiin tulevaisuutta koskeviin lausumiin sisältyy useita riskejä ja epävarmuustekijöitä, joista monet ovat vaikutusmahdollisuuksiemme ulkopuolella ja joiden johdosta todelliset tulokset saattavat poiketa olennaisesti tulevaisuutta koskevista lausumista. Nämä tulevaisuutta koskevat lausumat perustuvat arvioihimme, oletuksiimme ja odotuksiimme tulevasta kehityksestä meillä tällä hetkellä olevan tiedon valossa. Nämä lausumat ovat vain ennusteita, jotka perustuvat tämänhetkisiin odotuksiimme ja näkemyksiimme tulevaisuuden tapahtumista ja kehityksestä. Tällaisia riskejä ja epävarmuustekijöitä ovat esimerkiksi: sääntely- ja sopimusrajoitteet liittyen osakeantiin ja Nokian kauppoihin Alcatel-Lucentin arvopapereissa, ja yllämainittujen riskien tai tulevaisuutta koskevien lausumien vaikutus yhdistyneeseen yhtiöön (Alcatel-Lucent transaktion täytäntöönpanon jälkeen) sekä muut riskitekijät, jotka ilmenevät Nokian ja Alcatel-Lucentin aika ajoin Yhdysvaltain arvopaperimarkkinaviranomaiselle (the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, "SEC") jättämistä asiakirjoista.

Nämä varoituslausunnot koskevat kokonaisuudessaan kaikkia tässä pörssitiedotteessa esitettyjä tulevaisuutta koskevia lausumia, eikä voi olla varmuutta siitä, että odottamamme tulokset tai kehitykset todella toteutuisivat tai että vaikka ne toteutuisivat olennaisilta osin, niillä olisi odotetut seuraukset tai vaikutukset meihin, liiketoimintaamme tai operaatioihimme. Emme sitoudu julkisesti päivittämään tai muuttamaan tulevaisuutta koskevia lausumia uuden tiedon, tulevaisuuden tapahtumien tai muun syyn johdosta, paitsi siltä osin kuin meillä on siihen lainmukainen velvollisuus.
