LONDON: Woodside Energy has reviewed its current listing structure and decided to delist from the London Stock Exchange (LSE).
Woodside shares represented by depositary interests account for approximately 1% of Woodside’s issued share capital. Trading volumes of Woodside shares on the LSE are low and delisting from the LSE will reduce Woodside’s administration costs.
Woodside has applied to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the LSE to cancel the admission of Woodside shares to listing in the International Commercial Companies Secondary Listing category of the Official List of the FCA and trading under the ticker “WDS” on the Main Market for listed securities of the LSE.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 21.2.17, Woodside is required to give at least 20 business days’ notice of the intended cancellation of the listing of its shares. It is expected that the admission of Woodside’s shares to the International Commercial Companies Secondary Listing category of the Official List and to trading on the LSE’s Main Market for listed securities will be cancelled with effect from 08:00 (GMT) on 20 November 2024. The last day of trading of Woodside shares on the LSE will be 19 November 2024.
Woodside’s primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and its American Depositary Receipts (ADR) program on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will not be affected by the delisting of Woodside shares from the LSE.
