London Stock Exchange Group PLC's (LSE.LN) junior market, the Alternative Investment Market, or AIM, said another 19 companies left the market in February, with the majority leaving at their own request.

Figures from the market show that of the 19 companies, 11 of those left at the request of the company.

Just two left due to a reverse takeover, while the other six left due to AIM rules.

Some of those who left the market in February, such as miner Blackthorn Resources Ltd. (BTR.AU), exploration company Neptune Minerals PLC and battery developer Multipower ASA, attributed the move to the costs and regulatory requirements of staying on AIM in a time of limited liquidity.

Blackthorn said it expects to save more than $175,000 a year as a result of the AIM cancellation.

February's figures follow the departure of 21 companies in January, of which nine left at the request of the company.
