PA Resources is delisted from Oslo Stock Exchange, primary listed at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and announces information document
Oslo Stock Exchange has approved PA Resources AB's application to delist the
company's share and convertible bond loan with last quotation day on 31 January
2011. At the same time NASDAQ OMX has approved the company's application for a
primary listing of the company's share at the exchange in Stockholm. PA
Resources also announces the information document prepared in connection with
the primary listing.
The oil and gas company PA Resources AB has, as previously has been announced,
applied for delisting of its share and convertible  2008/2014 from the Oslo
Stock Exchange and primary listing of its share on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The
share has been primary listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2001 and
secondary listed on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm since 2006. The convertible bond is
listed on both exchanges and active trading takes place in Stockholm, while the
convertible bond never has been traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Oslo Stock Exchange has now approved PA Resources' application for delisting of
the company's share and convertible with last quotation day on the 31 January
2011. NASDAQ OMX Stockholm has also approved the company's application for
primary listing from 1 February 2011.
The reasons for the company's decision to delist the share and convertible from
Oslo Stock Exchange include the substantial decrease in trading in the company's
share on the Oslo Stock Exchange as well as the additional costs and extra work
associated with being listed on two exchanges.
- We want to thank Oslo Stock Exchange for their cooperation during the almost
10 years we have been listed. As trading volumes have shifted over the last
couple of years from the Oslo Stock Exchange to NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, we have
decided to delist our share and convertible from the Oslo Stock Exchange. We
welcome all investors to trade at NASDAQ OMX, which offers good liquidity in our
share and convertible, says Bo Askvik, President and CEO of PA Resources AB.
PA Resources will offer the shareholders and holders of convertible bonds, who
are registered with the Norwegian Verdipapirsentralen (VPS), help with the
transfer of shares and convertible bonds into account in the Swedish Euroclear
System (VPS equivalent) or with bank or other trustee. PA Resources will pay the
conversion cost of NOK 650 to transfer the shares and/or convertibles from the
VPS account to the new account. This offer is valid from 17 January 2011 until
18 February 2011 and under certain conditions. Information regarding this will
be sent in the middle of January 2011 to holders of shares or convertibles
registered in VPS. More information is available on the company's web
sitewww.paresources.se.
The information document prepared in connection with the primary listing is
available on the company's websitewww.paresources.se and may be ordered from PA
Resources office at Kungsgatan 44, level 3, SE-111 35 Stockholm, Sweden, or by
