Indivior Shareholders Approve Resolutions to Proceed with Additional U.S. Listing
Indivior PLC (LON: INDV) today announced that at the General Meeting of Shareholders held earlier today, shareholders approved the resolution to proceed with an Additional Listing on a major U.S. stock exchange. Additionally, shareholders approved implementation of a 5:1 share consolidation on October 10, 2022 to enable minimum share price thresholds required by the major U.S. stock exchanges.
“We are pleased with the strong support received from shareholders that will allow us to move forward with an Additional U.S. Listing of Indivior shares on a major U.S. stock exchange,” said Graham Hetherington, Chair of the Board. “We believe the Additional U.S. Listing will be beneficial in elevating Indivior’s visibility and profile in its largest market and will help attract a broader group of biopharma investors.”
Mr. Hetherington continued, “We anticipate that the Additional U.S. Listing will become effective in the Spring of 2023, and the Group is diligently working on all requirements to meet this timing. Indivior will retain its premium listing on the London Stock Exchange and expects to continue to be a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.”
Indivior intends to make its Additional U.S. Listing on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market, and the Board continues to assess which of the two would provide the best possible platform on which to trade Indivior shares.
The final voting results of the September 30, 2022 General Meeting are available on the Company’s website at https://www.indivior.com/en/investors/shareholder-information
