RNS Number : 8552Y HRC World PLC 11 September 2025
HRC WORLD PLC
("HRC" or "HRC World" the "Company")
Transition of Trading of Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq Copenhagen to Aquis Stock
Exchange
HRC World, the data centre facilities provider (AQSE: HRC), wishes to update
its shareholders regarding the Company's listing status in Denmark.
As announced on 26 August 2025, trading in HRC's ordinary shares of €0.01
each ("Ordinary Shares") commenced on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market
Access Category ("AQSE").
Several months ago, VP Securities A/S (Euronext) informed the Company of its
commercial decision to discontinue the provision of services required for
maintaining HRC's mirrored securities in Denmark. While HRC has always
remained fully compliant with all listing, operational, and regulatory
obligations, the continuation of such services is ultimately within the
commercial discretion of VP Securities A/S. Despite HRC's best efforts over
many months to seek alternative solutions, including multiple appeals to VP
Securities A/S (Euronext) to consider continuing its services and discussions
with various stakeholders, no workable resolution was reached.
Since February 2018, HRC has been listed on Nasdaq First North Copenhagen,
supported by VP Securities A/S (Euronext) who provided mirrored securities in
the VP-System for HRC's CREST shares. The Company's board of directors is
grateful to VP Securities A/S (Euronext) and Nasdaq Copenhagen for enabling
HRC's presence in Denmark over these past years and extend its appreciation
for the services they have provided.
Pursuant to these developments, the Board of HRC has resolved to transition
trading in Ordinary Shares fully and solely to the AQSE in the UK.
Going forward, all shares of HRC will trade exclusively on the AQSE and will
commence the formal delisting of the Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq First North
Growth Market, Copenhagen effective 31 October 2025. The impact (if any) on
Shareholders thereafter would be as follows:
· Shareholders whose holdings are already recorded in CREST UK will
not experience any change or disruption in trading access.
· Shareholders whose positions are held in Euronext/VP, will be
able to trade on the AQSE. Affected shareholders should discuss matters with
their local broker to facilitate international settlement arrangements in
CREST.
To facilitate this transition, HRC has allocated a period until 31 October
2025 for any share trading administrative adjustments before VP Securities A/S
(Euronext) stops its services and the delisting process from Nasdaq Copenhagen
is completed. Shareholders are encouraged to contact their respective brokers
if they are unsure of their respective administrative processes.
HRC has also additionally arranged for its UK Corporate Adviser for AQSE and
Corporate Broker, Optiva Securities Ltd, to provide guidance to any
shareholders and/or broker who are uncertain about the steps required to
transfer their holdings.
Although it is naturally disappointing that no middle ground could be found to
sustain HRC's presence on Nasdaq Copenhagen, the Company nevertheless views
this as a positive step forward. Concentrating HRC's trading presence on AQSE
will simplify the Company's capital markets strategy, streamline shareholder
access, and align its growth journey with a market that is well-suited to
support its future ambitions.
HRC remains fully committed to delivering long-term value for its investors
and continuing to strengthen relationships with all shareholders, advisors,
regulators, and partners across the markets where it operates.
THE DIRECTORS OF HRC WORLD PLC ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
