Cambridge: AstraZeneca plans to harmonise its share listing structure to deliver a global listing for global investors in a global company. The Board of AstraZeneca is recommending to shareholders a Harmonised Listing Structure for the Company’s ordinary shares across the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Nasdaq Stockholm (STO) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

This requires upgrading AstraZeneca’s existing US equity listing by way of a direct listing of AstraZeneca ordinary shares on the NYSE, replacing the existing US listing of AstraZeneca ADRs on Nasdaq. Following implementation of the Harmonised Listing Structure, shareholders will be able to trade their interests in AstraZeneca ordinary shares across the LSE, STO and NYSE.
