Valneva Submits Delisting Application to the Vienna Stock Exchange
- Annual general meeting on June 27, 2019 resolved on the delisting of Valneva’s ordinary shares from the Vienna Stock Exchange
- Delisting shall be effective by the end of 2019
- Listing on Euronext Paris remains unchanged
Saint Herblain (France), July 2, 2019 – Valneva SE (“Valneva” or “the Company”), a biotech company developing and commercializing vaccines for infectious diseases with major unmet needs, announces today that it has submitted a request to revoke the admission of its shares to the Vienna Stock Exchange (VSE). This decision was made by the Company in order to focus on the best capital markets for life science companies and increase liquidity by centralizing trading on Euronext Paris.
The application was submitted to VSE after Valneva’s annual general meeting, which resolved on the revocation of the admission of the Company’s ordinary shares from the Official Market (Amtlicher Handel) of the VSE, according to §38 (6) of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018.
The VSE will now have ten weeks to decide on the application and timeline of the delisting. A period of at least three months between the publication of VSE’s decision and the effective date of the delisting is required, which potentially places the effective delisting date by the end of 2019.
Valneva’s ordinary shares have been listed on the VSE since May 28, 2013 and admitted to trade on the Official Market (Amtlicher Handel) in the Prime Market (ISIN FR0004056851). They are further listed on Euronext Paris (compartment B) where they will continue to trade. Valneva’s preferred shares (ISIN FR0011472943) are traded on the VSE’s Third Market Segment (MTF) and on Euronext Paris.
The trading of the preferred shares in the Third Market (MTF) on the Vienna Stock Exchange shall terminate in parallel to the termination of trading of the ordinary shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The ordinary shares and the preferred shares remain tradeable on the Euronext Paris, a regulated market within the meaning of §1 (2) of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018.
