Depa Limited (“Depa”), the leading global interior solutions group, confirms the following timings in respect of the conversion of its listing currency on the Nasdaq Dubai from US Dollar to UAE Dirhams:

Last day of trading in US Dollars:                                           6 March 2018

Trading halt:                                                                      7 and 8 March 2018

Commencement of trading in UAE Dirhams:                 11 March 2018

The redenomination of its listing currency from US Dollars to UAE Dirhams is expected to increase the attractiveness of the shares to the regional institutional and retail investor bases, which should lead to increased investor interest, improved liquidity and more efficient pricing.

The trading symbol for Depa (DEPA:DU) will remain unchanged as a result of the conversion.

Hamish Tyrwhitt, Depa’s Group Chief Executive Officer commented: “The conversion of our listing currency to UAE Dirhams, in conjunction with the other many actions that we have taken, will lead to enhanced liquidity of Depa’s shares and the generation of sustainable value for Depa’s shareholders.

“A UAE Dirham denominated listing should attract more regional investors, both institutional and retail; especially those who have traditionally found trading in USD to be a deterring factor.”
