DUBLIN, IRELAND / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2024 / Flutter's primary listing now on the New York Stock Exchange
Flutter Entertainment plc ("Flutter" or the "Company") (NYSE:FLUT)(LSE:FLTR) announced today that its primary listing is now on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). This follows the transfer of the Company's listing category on the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority from "Premium Listing (commercial company)" to "Standard Listing (shares)" as of 08.00 a.m. BST / 03.00 a.m. ET today. The Company's shares remain eligible for and continue to trade on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") on the Standard Listing segment.
Today's announcement follows the passing of the relevant resolution by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on May 1, 2024.
Peter Jackson, CEO of Flutter Entertainment, said:
"Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of Flutter with the commencement of our primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange. This closely follows the recent move of our operational headquarters to New York, with both reflecting the increasing importance of the US sports betting and iGaming market to our business. We have a fantastic position in the US, with FanDuel the clear number one operator, and we look forward to this next step on our journey."
Listing changes
As previously announced, since February 2023, management has engaged widely with U.S. investors, existing and potential, along with existing shareholders globally. The feedback received has been very supportive of moving Flutter's primary listing to the United States. The first step in this process was achieved on January 29, 2024, with the additional listing of Flutter's ordinary shares on the NYSE. On May 1, 2024, shareholders passed the special resolution to transfer Flutter's listing category from a Premium Listing to a Standard Listing on the LSE, which has taken effect today. Hereafter, Flutter's primary listing will be on the NYSE.
