The company will remove its common stock from the Equity Shares category of the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Official List. It will also end trading on the LSE’s main market on July 17.
Ferguson said that because it is classified under the international commercial companies secondary listing category, no shareholder vote is required to approve the move. Although the company still had to give the required 20 business days’ notice under UK Listing Rules before proceeding. Following the delisting, Ferguson will keep its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where the stock will continue trading uninterrupted under the same FERG ticker.
The company said it arrived at the decision due to greater liquidity on the NYSE. Other factors include a shareholder base that is now predominantly North American, a desire to cut costs and operational complexity, and a wish to align its listing structure with its business profile, which is now centered on North America.
For shareholders who hold their stock directly or through a DTC-linked broker or custodian, there will be no disruption at all. Holders of UK Depositary Interests, however, will need to take action, since DIs will no longer be tradeable on a recognized exchange once the London listing ends. They will have to convert their holdings into a DTC broker or custodian account through Computershare to keep trading on the NYSE.
