Pershing Square Holdings Seeks Premium Listing In London

Updated on

St. Peter Port, Guernsey, 23 March 2017 //? Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd. (ticker: PSH:NA) today announced that PSH intends to apply for admission of its ordinary shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (“Admission”).

Pershing Square Holdings

Following Admission, it is expected that PSH will be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE UK Index Series, including the FTSE All?Share and FTSE 250 indices. The Company’s listing on Euronext Amsterdam will not be affected. Following Admission, investors will be able to trade PSH shares on both markets with PSH shares being quoted and traded in Sterling in London and in USD on Euronext Amsterdam.

PSH has decided to seek a premium listing in London in an effort to improve market access for investors, increase liquidity in PSH shares, and assist in narrowing the current discount to net asset value at which PSH shares trade.

PSH intends to write to shareholders in due course to seek the requisite shareholder consents to make certain adjustments to its constitutional arrangements required to obtain a premium listing. Such consents are currently expected to be sought at PSH’s Annual General Meeting of shareholders (AGM) in April 2017 with Admission currently expected in early May 2017.

PSH has appointed Jefferies International Limited to act as sole sponsor and financial adviser to PSH in connection with the premium listing in London.
