Market Announcement

Intention to Cancel London Stock Exchange Listing and Terminate Global Depositary Receipt Agreement

13th Nov 2017

Nasdaq Dubai Release
Depa Limited / DEPA:DU
13 November 2017

Depa Limited (“Depa”), the leading global interior solutions group, announces its intention to:

a) cancel the listings on the Official List maintained by the UK Listing Authority and the admissions to trading on the London Stock Exchange (the LSE) of its global depositary receipts (as described below); and

b) terminate its depositary agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (together, the Delisting).

Depa intends to effect the Delisting 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 intends to keep the market updated with further information relating to the Delisting as required.

The global depository receipts referred to in this announcement are the following:

  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).
