APPROVAL OF NORBERT DENTRESSANGLE'S APPLICATION TO TRADE ON NYSE EURONEXT
LONDON
Paris, on June 28, 2013
Norbert Dentressangle (the "Company") announces that on June 26, 2013, LIFFE
Administration and Management approved the Company's application for admission
to trading of all of its issued Shares (as defined below) on the regulated
market of NYSE Euronext in London ("NYSE Euronext London"), subject to the UK
Listing Authority's (the "UKLA") approval of the Company's listing application
following a listing hearing which is currently expected to take place on July
2, 2013. The Shares are expected to begin trading on NYSE Euronext London and
to be admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the UKLA
on July 4, 2013 ("Admission").
Following Admission, the Shares will trade on NYSE Euronext London under the
symbol "GND". The admission to trading of the Shares on NYSE Euronext London
will be in addition to the existing admission to trading of the Shares on the
regulated market of NYSE Euronext in Paris ("NYSE Euronext Paris"), where they
also trade under the symbol "GND".
Through its listing NYSE Euronext Paris and NYSE Euronext London, the Company
intends to maximise its target investor base and to provide greater access to
the Shares among London-based financial intermediaries and investors. The new
listing will assist in positioning the Company as a leading international
transport, logistics and freight forwarding company and also reflects the
strong contribution of its UK based businesses.
Following the acquisitions of Christian Salvesen in 2007 and TDG in 2011, the
UK now represents around 32% of Norbert Dentressangle's Group turnover, second
only to France (41%), and generated revenues of €1,236 million in 2012. The
Company employs more than 12,800 people in the UK.
The Company is not offering any new shares or any other securities in
connection with Admission. The Shares will not be generally made available or
marketed to the public in the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction in
connection with Admission.
The Company is not producing a prospectus in connection with Admission pursuant
to the exemption contained in Rule 1.2.3(8) of the Prospectus Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority. The summary document published in connection with
the Company's application for Admission (the "Summary Document") can be found
