FBD Holdings PLC has announced its proposal to cancel the admission of the company's ordinary shares to the Official List maintained by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange. This resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 9 May 2024, subject to shareholder approval, with the UK delisting expected to take effect at 8 a.m. on 10 June 2024.
Despite the proposed delisting in the UK, FBD will maintain the primary listing of its ordinary shares on the Main Market of Euronext Dublin. The company has also ensured compliance with the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules by forwarding a copy of the Circular, including the Notice of Annual General Meeting, to the UK Financial Conduct Authority and making it available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism. The Circular will also be submitted to Euronext Dublin and will be accessible for inspection at Euronext Dublin OAM Filing. Additionally, the Circular is available for viewing on the Company's website.
The expected timetable of principal events includes the latest time and date for the receipt of Forms of Proxy, the Annual General Meeting, the last day of dealings in the Company's Ordinary Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, and the cancellation of the listing of the Company's Ordinary Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
This move signifies a strategic shift in the company's listing arrangements and demonstrates a commitment to maintaining transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.
