This section contains Cargotec's IR newsletters, mainly published quarterly before the three-week silent period. You can find the most recent letter below.
As our silent period is about to start, we would like to highlight some of the most notable events of the third quarter of 2023. Cargotec’s interim report January-September 2023 will be published on Thursday, 26 October 2023, and the silent period starts on Thursday, 5 October 2023.
In April, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors of Cargotec has decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate its core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. Cargotec’s intention would be to separate Kalmar as a new listed company by means of a partial demerger from Cargotec. The Board of Directors of Cargotec estimates that the separation of Kalmar and Hiab could unlock shareholder value by allowing both businesses to pursue sustainable profitable growth opportunities independently.
In August, Cargotec announced that Pekka Ala-Pietilä has been proposed as the Chair of the Board of the potential separately listed standalone Kalmar. Until the consummation of the proposed demerger, Pekka Ala-Pietilä will serve as consultant for Cargotec to assist in forming of standalone Kalmar. In addition, the Cargotec Board proposes that current Board members Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka would be elected as members of the Board of standalone Kalmar upon the completion of the contemplated demerger.
Also, to strengthen the leadership at Kalmar, Michel Van Roozendaal has stepped down from the position of the President of Kalmar and as member of Cargotec Leadership Team. Cargotec's President and CEO Casimir Lindholm acts as interim President of Kalmar until the search for a permanent CEO of Kalmar has been completed.
