- Last VSE trading day will take place on December 20, 2019
- Valneva shares will be automatically transferred to Euronext Paris
- Valneva’s listing on Euronext Paris remains unchanged
Saint-Herblain (France), September 19, 2019 – Valneva SE (“Valneva” or “the Company”), a biotech company developing and commercializing vaccines for infectious diseases with major unmet needs, announces today that the Vienna Stock Exchange (“VSE”) resolved to revoke the admission of Valneva shares from the Official Market through a resolution dated September 18, 2019. Valneva’s ordinary and preferred shares will no longer trade on the VSE after December 20, 2019. They will remain tradeable on Euronext Paris (Compartment B).
Commenting, David Lawrence, Chief Financial Officer, said “The Vienna Stock Exchange has been a pivotal and vital ingredient for the formation and success of Intercell, and later Valneva, and we would like to thank the VSE for years of excellent collaboration”.
All Valneva shares listed on the VSE will be automatically transferred to Euronext Paris free of charge. Transfer costs will be borne by Valneva.
Valneva submitted a delisting application to the VSE in July, in accordance with §38 (6) of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018. Valneva’s decision was made in order to focus on the best capital markets for life science companies and increase liquidity by centralizing trading on Euronext Paris.
Valneva’s ordinary and preferred shares will remain tradeable on Euronext Paris (Compartment B), a regulated market within the meaning of §1 (2) of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018.
