Business Wire
Citi, acting through Citibank N.A., has been appointed by Merlin
Entertainments plc (“Merlin”), Europe’s leading and the world’s
second largest visitor attraction operator, as depositary bank for
its Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) programme, which
trades on the US OTC marketplace under the symbol “MERLY”. Merlin’s
ordinary shares are also listed and trade on the London Stock
Exchange under symbol “MERL”.
Andrew Carr, Merlin’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “Merlin is
a global business, operating over 100 attractions across 23
countries. We have a strong presence in North America, which saw
our portfolio of iconic brands such as Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE
and LEGOLAND generate circa $450m of revenue in the US during 2014.
Our presence there is expected to increase further through the roll
out of new attractions including, in due course, a possible third
LEGOLAND Park in the country. We are delighted to appoint Citi as
depositary bank for our ADR programme, and very much look forward
to working with them to further expand our shareholder base in the
US.”
“Citi is delighted to be appointed by Merlin as depositary bank
for its Level 1 ADR programme,” said Dirk Jones, Global Head of
Issuer Services, at Citi. “We will work closely with Merlin to
assist them in identifying ADR holders and in expanding their US
shareholder base by leveraging our equities distribution
network.”
