Noble Corporation plc announces its intention to delist from NASDAQ Copenhagen

Report this content

SUGAR LAND, TEXAS, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Noble Corporation plc ("Noble", “the Company”) (NYSE: NE, CSE: NOBLE) announces its intention to voluntarily delist from NASDAQ Copenhagen (“NASDAQ”).  Noble will remain traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), as Noble’s primary listing exchange. 

 

Following a comprehensive review, the Company believes that the trading volume of its share entitlements (“Danish Shares”) on NASDAQ no longer justifies the expense and administrative requirements associated with maintaining this dual listing. The Company’s NYSE listing provides its shareholders with sufficient liquidity, as NYSE accounts for approximately 99% of its trading volume. The substantial savings in exchange fees, legal fees, and managerial time and effort to maintain a dual listing can be redirected to initiatives intended to generate shareholder value.  Noble anticipates such delisting will be effective in late 2024 or early 2025.

 

To avoid holding Danish Shares that are not tradeable on a registered market following the effective date of the delisting, holders of Danish Shares traded on NASDAQ currently have the following options:

  • Transfer. Shareholders may transfer their Danish Shares currently trading on NASDAQ to Noble shares trading on NYSE. Shareholders may contact their broker to arrange for transfer.  Any transfer, brokerage or holding fees are the responsibility of the shareholder.
  • Sell. Shareholders may sell their Danish Shares on NASDAQ prior to the effective date of the delisting.

 

The Company has not filed, and has not yet determined when it will file, a formal delisting request with NASDAQ. Additional information, including details regarding the practicalities of final transfers and tax treatment, will be provided after the Company submits its formal delisting request.
