Why dual listing on Oslo Børs?
It may prove to be beneficial for certain companies to be publicly listed on more than one stock exchange. For companies operating internationally and across different time zones, and/or within sectors that has a special focus and interest in the relevant financial markets, a secondary listing may lead to improved access to capital and investors, to extended financial flexibility, as well as to increased share liquidity and analyst coverage – and potentially to increased shareholder values. Oslo Børs strives at providing such advantages to listed companies.
A world leader in energy, shipping and seafood
Oslo Børs is a leading exchange within certain sectors. Norway has unique clusters within shipping, seafood and not least within a widely diversified energy sector, with oil & gas E&P, oil service and offshore & subsea activities as core elements. In the Oslo market, these three sectors are represented by world class companies, international investors, specialized research analysts, advisors, banks and law firms, and combined Oslo can support any needs new listing candidates may have for a well-functioning capital market.
Cooperations with Singapore Exchange and the TMX Group
Oslo Børs has specifically chosen partners that share our view with regard to international growth and at the same time represent different geographical regions as well as extensions of our own time zone. We believe we have found ideal partners, each in its own respect, in Singapore and Toronto. Oslo-listed companies may potentially benefit by a direct presence in one of these markets in addition to their listing in Oslo, while companies in Southeast-Asia and in North-America may gain benefits by getting direct access to an extended European market through an additional listing in Oslo.
Based on the MOU agreements, Oslo Børs will co-operate and communicate with the Singapore Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange with regard to dual listing applications in order to ease the process and workload for companies.
Professional assistance from start till finish
Multiple public listings are demanding and certainly not the ideal solution for all companies. Oslo Børs’ Listing Advisors can provide your company with professional advice in this matter, and will also provide close support throughout a potential listing process.
