Fortum (ISIN FI0009007132) was last at EUR 23.62 on Nasdaq Helsinki on October 2, 2026, while the company reported acceptances for 91.61 percent of Elmera's share capital and voting rights. The result gives Fortum a clear path toward completing its recommended cash tender offer for the Norwegian energy company.

Elmera offer clears a key threshold

According to Fortum on October 2, 2026, shareholders had accepted the offer for 104,755,535 Elmera shares. That represented 91.61 percent of issued shares and voting rights, or 95.80 percent when Elmera's treasury shares were excluded.

The acceptance level is the central operating signal for Fortum stock because it moves the transaction beyond the 90 percent minimum acceptance condition. The offer price is NOK 47 per Elmera share, while Fortum said the regulatory approval condition had already been satisfied.
