Greek energy and metals giant METLEN has made history on the London Stock Exchange, becoming the first company ever to have its shares denominated and traded in euros on the major international market.
The company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Evangelos Mytilineos, attended a bell-ringing ceremony in London to mark the first day of trading.
The move follows a successful public share exchange offer that saw an acceptance rate of over 90% from shareholders.
The listing is a significant milestone for the Greek multinational, which operates in more than 40 countries.
METLEN will now have the LSE as its primary stock market, but it will maintain a dual listing on the Athens Stock Exchange.
The move is expected to enhance the company's global profile and expand its access to international capital markets.
