WOODSIDE TO DELIST FROM THE LONDON STOCK
EXCHANGE
Woodside has reviewed its current listing
structure and decided to delist from the London Stock Exchange
(LSE). Woodside shares represented by depositary interests account
for approximately 1% of Woodside's issued share capital. Trading
volumes of Woodside shares on the LSE are low and delisting from
the LSE will reduce Woodside's administration costs.
Woodside has applied to the UK Financial
Conduct Authority (FCA) and the LSE to cancel the admission of
Woodside shares to listing in the International Commercial
Companies Secondary Listing category of the Official List of the
FCA and trading under the ticker "WDS" on the Main Market for
listed securities of the LSE.
In accordance with UK Listing Rule 21.2.17,
Woodside is required to give at least 20 business days' notice
of the intended cancellation of the listing of its shares. It is
expected that the admission of Woodside's shares to the
International Commercial Companies Secondary Listing category of
the Official List and to trading on the LSE's Main Market for
listed securities will be cancelled with effect from 08:00 (GMT) on
20 November 2024. The last day of trading of Woodside shares on the
LSE will be 19 November 2024.
Woodside's primary listing on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX) and its American Depositary Receipts
(ADR) program on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will not be
affected by the delisting of Woodside shares from the
LSE.
