Aker Carbon Capture liquidation finalized, shareholders receive significant return

An extraordinary general meeting of Aker Carbon Capture ASA (under liquidation) was held digitally on October 17, 2025. During the meeting, all resolutions, including the approval of the liquidation settlement, were passed in accordance with the proposals. This decision marks the final step in the company's liquidation process, with notification sent to the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises for delisting. Consequently, a previously scheduled EGM for October 29, 2025, has been canceled.

The EGM saw significant shareholder participation, with 277,473,786 shares, representing approximately 45.92% of the total 604,242,218 shares, either present in person, by advance vote, or by proxy. Asle Aarbakke chaired the meeting, and Valborg Lundegaard was appointed to co-sign the minutes. The audited liquidation settlement, presented in compliance with section 16-10 (1) of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, was formally approved.

Aker Carbon Capture ASA, spun off from Aker Solutions in 2020 with a market capitalization of approximately NOK 1 bn and a share price of NOK 1.7, has delivered substantial shareholder value. Since its inception, the company has distributed approximately NOK 5.2 bn, or NOK 8.66 per share, in cash to shareholders. This represents a capital return exceeding five times the original IPO share price.
