National Silicon Industry Group's ("NSIG") wholly owned subsidiary NSIG Finland S.à r.l. ("NSIG Finland") has made a voluntary public tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares and option rights in Okmetic that are not owned by Okmetic or any of its subsidiaries. According to NSIG's press release published on 10 June 2016, the tender offer will be completed in accordance with its terms and conditions after the expiry of the extended offer period on 14 June 2016 and the settlement of the completion trades will take place on or about 22 June 2016.
