Depa Limited Cancellation of Listing and Termination of Depositary Agreement

Depa Limited (“Depa”), the leading global interior solutions group is to cancel the listings on the Official List maintained by the UK Listing Authority and the admissions to trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) of the following global depository receipts:

1. Depa Limited Regulation S Global Depositary Receipts (each representing 5 ordinary shares of USD0.40 each) (ISIN US2495082016); and
2. Depa Limited Rule 144A Global Depositary Receipts (each representing 5 ordinary shares of USD0.40 each) (ISIN US2495081026),

(together, the GDRs).

The cancellation of the listings and the admissions to trading of the GDRs are both expected to be effective from 8.00 a.m. on 26 February 2018.

Depa is delisting its GDRs because the volume of global depositary receipts traded on the LSE is negligible and does not, in Depa’s view, justify the related expenses of the listing. Depa’s ordinary shares will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Dubai.

Termination of Depositary Agreement

On 19 November 2017, Depa delivered a written notice to The Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM) in order to terminate the depositary agreement relating to the GDRs between Depa and BNYM.  Following receipt of the written notice from Depa, BNYM delivered a notice to each GDR holder notifying such person that, in accordance with condition 21.1 of the terms and conditions relating to the GDRs, the depositary agreement shall terminate on 26 February 2018.
