STORA CLOSE TO COMPLETING PAPYRUS TAKEOVER Sweden's Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB <SKPS ST> said it had now acquired 90 pct of shares in rival pulp and paper makers Papyrus AB, thus passing the threshold above which it can compulsorily buy the rest of the company. Remaining shareholders would have until later this month to sell their shares to Stora, the company said in a statement. Stora announced last September it would acquire Papyrus at a price of 5.8 billion crowns, thus forming Europe's second largest forest group after London-based Reed International Plc <REED L>.
