About WISA Group Plc
WISA Group Plc is the company being formed from the plywood business of UPM-Kymmene Corporation through a partial demerger, with its shares to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Nasdaq Helsinki.
IPO notes
UPM's board approved the demerger plan on 29 April 2026 and its extraordinary general meeting resolved on the partial demerger on 31 August 2026 (inderes.fi, UPM release). The demerger and listing prospectus was published on 16 July 2026, and on 18 September 2026 the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority approved a supplement to it. The demerger is planned to complete on 31 October 2026, and trading in WISA shares on Nasdaq Helsinki is expected to begin on 2 November 2026 or as soon as reasonably possible after (view.news.eu.nasdaq.com, UPM release of 18 September 2026). The UPM release of 1 September 2026 states that the assets and liabilities of the UPM Plywood business area transfer to WISA (placera.se). The listing follows a demerger, so no offering price or price range has been published.
