Scandinavian Astor Group shares to be dual listed on Boerse Stuttgart as of 12 December 2024
Scandinavian Astor Group AB (publ) (”Astor Group” or the ”Company”) announces that NGM's application process for the dual listing of Astor Group's shares on Boerse Stuttgart is now finalised. The first day of trading on Boerse Stuttgart is tentatively scheduled for 12 December 2024.
“We look forward to being officially welcomed to Boerse Stuttgart at the listing ceremony on 12 December. This will be a milestone in Astor Group's journey to establish ourselves as a leading player in the European market and an opportunity to celebrate our step towards international expansion together with our investors and partners”, says Mattias Hjorth CEO of Astor Group.
The dual listing of Astor Group's shares on Boerse Stuttgart is part of the Nordic Growth Market NGM AB (‘NGM’) Reach programme. NGM Reach leverages the primary listing in Sweden and makes shares primarily listed on NGM available to German and European investors through a dual listing on the ‘Nordic Growth Market’ segment of Boerse Stuttgart. Boerse Stuttgart Group is the sixth largest exchange group in Europe with more than 2 million listed securities.
The dual listing is expected to attract a broader and more diversified investor base, which could lead to increased liquidity and new growth and co-operation opportunities. It also expands access to capital and improves international exposure. By being listed on both markets, Astor Group strengthens its position in Europe and opens up for strategic partnerships in the defence sector.
To facilitate a qualitative price structure in trading on Boerse Stuttgart, CFO and major shareholder Wictor Billström has provided a share loan to EUWAX AG, which will act as liquidity provider for Astor Group's shares. EUWAX AG is a subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart GmbH. The dual listing does not entail any direct costs for Astor Group other than possible marketing costs.
In order to have a dual listing on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange, English is also required as a language of communication. The Company is therefore switching to bilingual communication as of today's date.
