DGB Group N.V. (“DGB” or “the Group”) (Euronext: DGB: NL0009169515), a leading carbon project developer and ecosystem restoration company, provides a market update regarding its listing status on Euronext Amsterdam.
On 13 April 2021, Euronext Amsterdam implemented a new rule, essentially meaning that companies without a Public Interest Entity audit (“PIE audit”) firm in the Netherlands face delisting. On 13 April 2023, DGB received a letter from Euronext Amsterdam stating that, if unresolved by 6 November 2023, Euronext would start the delisting process of DGB.
Vereniging MidkapNL, an association representing the interests of Dutch small and mid-cap companies aiming to enhance the listing environment for medium-sized and smaller publicly traded companies and collectively advocate for the interests of this group of listed companies, strongly voiced concerns about Euronext's new delisting policy due to various circumstances and developments:
Following discussions between Vereniging MidkapNL and Euronext Amsterdam, as well as bilateral talks with all affected listed companies, Euronext Amsterdam has made adjustments to its penalty bench policy. A market notice was issued on 11 October 2023 in this regard. The changes made by Euronext Amsterdam are:
Vereniging MidkapNL responds: “Vereniging Midkap is pleased that Euronext has provided additional time, even though we initially requested a longer period. The affected companies now have about three months to provide a signed assignment letter from a PIE accounting firm. For shareholders and investors in the affected listed companies, this step means that delisting in the short term has been averted. Vereniging MidkapNL will continue to support the affected companies in their efforts to retain their stock market listing. It will also continue the constructive dialogue with Euronext Amsterdam in the interest of investors and listed companies.”
DGB had already taken proactive measures to ensure its listing on a robust exchange. As part of its contingency plan, DGB has prepared an organisational restructuring and potential migration to Euronext Growth in Dublin. As a first step, the Board of Directors, on 27 March 2023, announced the engagement of KPMG Ireland to audit its new wholly-owned Dublin-based holding company.
The Board of Directors is content with the policy adjustment of Euronext Amsterdam. While keeping its contingency plan in place, DGB looks forward to exploring all possibilities. DGB is committed to its shareholders and all other stakeholders and will keep them informed of any significant developments.
