History 

1990s

In 1995, Pandox was formed by Securum and Skanska to restructure 18 properties and three smaller hotel operations during the financial and property crisis. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

In 1997, Pandox was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. At the listing, Pandox was valued at approximately SEK 1.3 billion. Pandox's IPO led to 4,000 new shareholders. [15] [16] [10] [14]

2000s

In 2000, Pandox acquired Scandic's property-owning company and the company Hotellus. [17] [18] With the acquisition of the company Hotellus, Pandox took over 16 hotel properties, of which eight are in Sweden, three in Germany, three in Belgium, one in Denmark and one in England. [19] [20] After the acquisition of Hotellus, Pandox owned a total of 47 hotel properties and 8,500 hotel rooms. [19]

In 2003, the Norwegian investors, the property company Eiendomsspar AS and the finance company Sundt AS, made a bid for Pandox worth SEK 2.6 billion. [21] [22] [23]

In 2004, Pandox was bought out of Nasdaq Stockholm by Eidenomsspar AS and Sundt AS. [24] [25] [26]

From 2004 to 2014, under the ownership of Eiendomsspars and Sundt AS, the market value of Pandox's property portfolio developed from approximately SEK 6 billion to approximately SEK 27 billion. [25] [27]

2010s

In 2010, Pandox announced the acquisition of Norgani Hotels, with a portfolio of 73 hotel properties in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, with a transaction value of close to SEK 10 billion. [28] [29] [30] [31] [27] [32]

On 18 June 2015, Pandox was relisted on Nasdaq Stockholm [8] [33] The listing meant that the existing owners sold 60,000,000 B shares, corresponding to 40 percent of the company. 60 percent of the shareholding remained with the existing owners Eiendomsspar AS and Sundt AS. [34] [35] [36]

In May 2021, the former CEO and founder Anders Nissen died. [48]
