HELSINKI, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — As previously announced, Georg Fischer Ltd. (“GF” or the “Offeror“) and Uponor Corporation (“Uponor” or the “Company“) have entered into a combination agreement pursuant to which the Offeror has made a voluntary recommended public cash tender offer for all the issued and outstanding shares in Uponor (the “Shares” or, individually, a “Share“) that are not held by Uponor or any of its subsidiaries (the “Tender Offer“) at a price of EUR 28.85 per share for each Share validly tendered in the Tender Offer (the “Offer Price“). The Offeror has on June 22, 2023, published a tender offer document, dated June 22, 2023, and published the first supplement document to the tender offer document on July 25, 2023, concerning the Tender Offer (the tender offer document, as supplemented from time to time, the “Tender Offer Document“). The offer period for the Tender Offer commenced on June 26, 2023, at 9:30 a.m. (Finnish time) and will expire on October 31, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time), unless the offer period is further extended or any extended offer period is discontinued as described in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.
As set out in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, should the Company distribute a dividend or otherwise distribute funds or any other assets to its shareholders, or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing occurs prior to the Completion Date (as defined in the Tender Offer Document), the Offer Price payable by the Offeror shall be adjusted accordingly on a euro-for-euro basis, including for the payment of EUR 0.35 per outstanding Share as dividend based on the resolution of the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company on March 17, 2023, in which case the Offer Price shall be reduced accordingly.
On March 17, 2023, the annual general meeting of shareholders of Uponor approved the proposal of Uponor’s Board of Directors according to which a dividend of EUR 0.69 per share will be paid from the distributable funds of Uponor for the financial year 2022. The dividend will be paid in two instalments. The first instalment of EUR 0.34 per share was paid on March 28, 2023, and the second instalment of EUR 0.35 per share will be paid on September 20, 2023. The second instalment will be paid to each shareholder registered as a shareholder in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the dividend payment on September 13, 2023. As a result of the dividend, the Offer Price in the Tender Offer will be adjusted as of September 12, 2023 (i.e., the ex-dividend date for said dividend payment), so that the Offer Price is EUR 28.50 per Share, subject to any further adjustments.
Shareholders of Uponor who have already tendered their Shares in the Tender Offer do not have to re-tender their Shares or take any other action as a result of the adjustment of the Offer Price. All shareholders who have validly tendered their Shares in Uponor will receive the adjusted Offer Price if the Tender Offer is completed.

The Tender Offer is made in the United States in compliance with Section 14(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act“) and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14E (in each case, subject to any exemptions or relief therefrom, if applicable) and otherwise in accordance with the disclosure and procedural requirements of Finnish law, including with respect to the Tender Offer timetable, settlement procedures, withdrawal, waiver of conditions and timing of payments, which are different from those of the United States. Shareholders in the United States are advised that the Shares are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that Uponor is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) thereunder.
The Tender Offer is made to Uponor’s shareholders resident in the United States on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of Uponor to whom an offer is made. Any information documents, including this release, are being disseminated to U.S. shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to Uponor’s other shareholders.
To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, the Offeror and its affiliates or its brokers and its broker’s affiliates (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date of this release and during the pendency of the Tender Offer, and other than pursuant to the Tender Offer and combination, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, the Shares or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares.

Insurance Third Party Administrator Market Drivers, Challenges, Future Outlook and Opportunities:
In terms of revenue, North America dominated the insurance third-party administrator market share, followed by APAC and Europe. The insurance third-party administrator market in North America is subsegmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US is anticipated to hold the largest market share in the region in 2031. In the US, there are three main insurance sectors: property/casualty (P/C), i.e., mainly auto, home, and commercial insurance; life/annuity, mainly life insurance and annuity products; and private health insurance. Such a vast industry generates the demand for third-party administrator services in the country. The third-party administrators in the country are engaged in various strategies to reach more customers. For example, in January 2024, Rokstone, a specialty insurance and reinsurance managing general agency and a part of the Aventum Group, launched a new third-party administrator service based in Kentucky. Rokstone’s new Verus TPA manages Rokstone’s agricultural claims in the US.
As countries grow and people gain more discretionary income, they are more likely to be able to afford and recognize the value of insurance products such as life, health, and property insurance plans. This is especially true for a burgeoning middle class striving for financial stability. People are becoming increasingly conscious of the possibility of financial loss due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, accidents, or natural catastrophes. As a result, individuals, businesses, and other entities seek insurance policies to safeguard themselves from the repercussions, which fuels the demand for insurance solutions that can assist in managing these risks. According to the Federal Insurance Office (FIO), the US had 667 licensed L&H insurers, 2,656 P&C insurers, and 1,355 health in 2022. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the insurance industry is one of the premium segments seeing significant expansion in India. This upward trend in the insurance sector can be ascribed to rising revenues and increased awareness of the profession. India has the sixth-largest life insurance market among emerging economies, growing at a pace of 32–34% per year. In recent years, the industry has experienced vigorous competition among rival businesses. Moreover, the insurance sector faces numerous constraints, including highly dynamic regulatory complications, which present organizations with considerable threats to financial and operational stability. Thus, the ongoing proliferation of the insurance industry is creating opportunities for the growth of the insurance third-party administrator market.

Conclusion:
A Third Party administrator is an entity that handles administrative and operational tasks associated with an insurance plan. Administrative duties frequently include processing claims, enrolling consumers, and collecting premiums, adhering to federal rules. Third Party administrators do not create the policies of health insurance plans, but they help guarantee their implementation. A single Third-Party administrator may work with multiple insurers. While Third Party administrators are typically linked with health insurance, they are employed in a wide range of other segments of the insurance industry. Commercial liability insurers and retirement plan administrators frequently hire Third Party administrators to serve as claims adjusters or customer service representatives. Third Party administrator companies can be major multinational corporations, while individuals having Third Party administrator certification can also work as independent contractors.
The insurance claim process can be complex and time consuming. In such cases, a Third Party administrator can help policyholders claim benefits. The administrators guide policyholders throughout the claim procedure and file claims on their behalf. Once a claim is filed, the Third-Party administrator will investigate and verify it. Further, their services can be tailored to a wide range of needs. Moreover, insurers can customize their agreements made with Third Party administrators based on their specific needs. Other noteworthy offerings of administrator services include health benefits reporting and analytics, adjudicating claims, customer service for plan members, healthcare provider network access, detailed healthcare expense reporting, and collaborations with brokers and health insurance consultants.

With Solana’s impressive processing speed—capable of handling up to 65,000 transactions per second—users can experience near-instant transaction confirmations. This integration aims to support applications in areas such as DeFi and payments, driving greater utility and adoption of FDUSD across both emerging and established markets.
Vincent Chok, CEO and Founder of First Digital commented: “Expanding FDUSD onto Solana represents a significant step in our mission to enhance its accessibility, availability and utility across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Solana’s robust and scalable infrastructure will allow us to deliver even greater value to our users, supporting a wider range of financial use cases and enabling faster, more efficient transactions.”
Lily Liu, President of Solana Foundation, added: “As Solana continues to lead the way to redefining blockchain scalability and performance, we are excited to welcome FDUSD into our ecosystem. The integration of FDUSD on Solana will enable new possibilities for real-world, on-chain financial innovations.”

The FDUSD stablecoin is backed on a 1:1 basis by one U.S. dollar or assets of equivalent fair value, held in accounts of regulated financial institutions globally.
