APi Group Corporation AnnouncesAnticipated DTC Settlement Eligibility
NEW BRIGHTON, Minnesota, October 16, 2019 - APi Group Corporation (the "Company") (OTC: JJAQF; LSE: JTWO) announces today that it expects that trades of its ordinary shares on the OTC market in the United States will be eligible for settlement through the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTC") beginning in approximately 2-5 weeks ("DTC Eligibility").
Currently, most of the Company's ordinary shares and all of the Company's warrants are held as depositary interests in CREST in the name of one or more CREST nominees. Following DTC Eligibility, these CREST positions may be transferred from a CREST participant account, in the UK, to a DTC participant account, in the US, on behalf of each beneficial holder. The CUSIP number for the shares will be G0473C 104. In order to facilitate settlement of over the counter trades and warrant exercises after DTC Eligibility, beneficial holders of depositary interests should instruct their CREST nominee to move their positions from the CREST participant account into a DTC participant account.
Holders of depositary interests in ordinary shares should be receiving notification in relation to the DTC Eligibility, as well as instructions on how to move their position from a CREST participant account into a DTC participant account. Holders of depositary interests and their agents may contact the Manager of Global Transactions at Computershare, the Company's agent, on +44 (0) 370 889 3129 or by e-mail at !ALLUKGlobalTransactionTeam@computershare.co.uk with any questions.
As previously announced, the Company expects to list its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol APG and change its jurisdiction of incorporation to Delaware, which is expected to occur late in the first quarter of 2020. The Company's ordinary shares and warrants were suspended from trading on the London Stock Exchange on September 3, 2019 when the Company announced its intention to acquire APi Group, Inc. In connection with its anticipated NYSE listing, the Company will request for the listing of its ordinary shares and warrants to be cancelled from the Official List of the FCA and for the admission to trading of its securities to be cancelled from the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company's ordinary shares continue to be traded on the OTC market in the U.S. under the symbol JJAQF.
