CAIRO - Ezz Steel (EGX: ESRS; London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG): AEZD), an Egyptian steel manufacturer, has been delisted from the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) as of March 13, 2025. Following the delisting, the company has established an over-the-counter (OTC) trading facility for its shares using the EGX’s electronic system. This facility began operating on March 16, 2025, and will initially run for three months, with the option for extension based on the Board’s subsequent review.
The OTC trading sessions are scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays from 12 noon to 12:30 pm Cairo time, with adjusted timings during Ramadan. Concurrently, Ezz Steel has placed a purchase order for its shares through EFG Securities Brokerage, offering to buy back shares at EGP 138.15 each, the same price as the January 20, 2025 share buyback offer, for the duration of the OTC facility’s initial three-month period.
Regarding the company’s Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), the delisting from the EGX does not impact their listing on the London Stock Exchange or the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority. However, the company has announced an expected delisting of the GDRs around April 10, 2025. Until that date, GDR holders can continue trading on the London Stock Exchange. Those wishing to sell their shares back to the company can withdraw the underlying shares from the Depositary and, if time permits before the OTC facility’s expiration, sell them to the company using the OTC trading facility.
This move comes as part of Ezz Steel’s ongoing corporate restructuring and provides an alternative for shareholders and GDR holders to trade or liquidate their holdings. The company’s actions are based on a press release statement and reflect its efforts to manage its equity following the delisting from the primary market.
