Reference is made to Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp.’s (“OET” or the
“Company”) stock exchange announcements made on November 2, 2023,
December 4, 2023 and December 5, 2023 regarding the Company’s
contemplated listing of its common shares on the New York Stock
Exchange (“NYSE”), its share re-registration process (as further
described therein as “Share Registration Conversion”), and the
trading suspension in the Company’s shares on Oslo Børs (as further
described therein as “Trading Suspension”).
OET is pleased to announce that its common shares
will commence trading on NYSE from and including December 11, 2023.
Simultaneously with the NYSE listing, the common shares of OET will
be secondary listed on Oslo Børs.
The Company’s common shares will be traded on the
NYSE under the ticker code “ECO” and on the Oslo Børs under the
ticker code “OET”.
The Share Registration Conversion, in which the
Company implemented an amendment to the registration structure for
its common shares, whereby all common shares are primarily held and
settled within the Depository Trust Company in the United States
and secondarily held and settled in VPS through a central
securities depository link, has now been implemented.
The Trading Suspension on the Company’s common
shares on Oslo Børs, which has been in effect for the trading days
on December 7, 2023 and today, has now ended. The Company’s common
shares will resume normal trading from start of trading on Oslo
Børs from and including December 11, 2023.
Reference is also made to the Company’s stock
exchange announcement on November 2, 2023 regarding Oslo Børs’
resolution to exempt Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp. from all the
provisions regulating voluntary and mandatory takeover offers in
Chapter 6 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (the “Norwegian
Takeover Rules”). The resolution by Oslo Børs is subject to, and
shall take effect from, the listing of the Company’s common shares
on NYSE and the simultaneous change from primary to secondary
listing on Oslo Børs. The resolution will consequently become
effective from and including the first day of listing of the common
shares of the Company on NYSE, which will take place on December
11, 2023, after which the Norwegian Takeover Rules will not apply
to Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp. nor trading in common shares of
