Smurfit Kappa Announces Merger Deal with WestRock to Take Effect

The delisting comes after the shareholders of Westrock gave their approval for the proposed merger with Smurfit Kappa last month.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): Smurfit Kappa, a sustainable packaging company, has announced that its merger deal has taken effect with folding paperboard box manufacturer Westrock. This implies that Smurfit Kappa’s shares have been delisted from the premium segment of the Financial Conduct Authority’s official list and the official list of Euronext Dublin.
