Trading in shares of Uponor Oyj was suspended today, March 25, 2026, on the Nasdaq Helsinki exchange (XHEL) due to an ongoing takeover bid, according to a notice from Nasdaq Helsinki Oy.

The suspension, which began at 11:58:25 Central European Time on April 26, 2024, affects all shares and related instruments of the Finnish company. Order books have been flushed, the exchange stated. Nasdaq Helsinki Oy’s Issuer Surveillance team, reachable at [email protected] or +358 9 6166 7260, issued the notification.

Nasdaq Helsinki, formerly known as the Helsinki Stock Exchange, is part of Nasdaq Nordic. It was acquired by Nasdaq, Inc. In 2008, following a merger with OMX. The exchange was founded in 1912.

Separately, hospitality operator Bob W has signed a long-term lease to operate a new serviced apartment scheme in Belfast, Northern Ireland, scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2026. This follows the collapse of a previous agreement with NASDAQ-listed Sonder, which filed for chapter seven bankruptcy in the US in November 2024 after Marriott ended its licensing agreement with the company.

The Belfast development, located on Dublin Road, comprises 84 units and is being developed by Z Property with financing from Assetz Capital. Bob W also has an agreement to operate a 143-unit aparthotel in Dublin.
