DJI targets dual listing on Hong Kong or NASDAQ Stock Exchange
DJI Holdings plc (AIM: DJI, "the Group", "DJI"), a leading licensed and authorised provider of regulated lottery products in the Chinese lottery market, has taken a decision to pursue a listing of its shares on an additional stock market in 2015.
In response to investor discussions in both Hong Kong and the United States, DJI expects that a listing in either Hong Kong or the United States would provide the Group with access to a wider investor base and facilitate increased liquidity in its shares.
No decision has been taken whether to list in Hong Kong or the United States as a formal evaluation process is underway. DJI expects to appoint advisors in the New Year and pursue this additional listing in 2015.
It is not currently the Group's intention to issue any additional shares nor raise new funds in connection with the proposed additional listing.
Darren Mercer, Chief Executive Officer of DJI Holdings PLC, said:
"We're very enthusiastic about the prospect of listing our stock on another exchange. An additional listing will help to raise awareness of our business among investors in the US and throughout Asia.
"It should also provide an opportunity for increased research coverage, greater liquidity for our shares and allow a larger base of interested investors to consider our stock alongside our peers operating in the fast growing Chinese lottery market."
