Intended Voluntary Cancellation of the Secondary Listing of
Ordinary Registered Shares of BASF SE from the London Stock
Exchange
BASF SE ("BASF", or the "Company") announces that its Board of
Executive Directors has approved the Company's application for the
cancellation of the standard listing of BASF's ordinary registered
shares (ISIN: DE000BASF111) ("Shares") on the Official List of the
UK Listing Authority and the cancellation of the admission to
trading of the Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock
Exchange plc (the "LSE", or the "Exchange").
Reasons for the delisting
BASF has decided to apply for the voluntary delisting of its
Shares from the LSE as the volume of trading in its Shares on the
Exchange is low and does not justify the costs related to the
secondary listing of the Shares.
Effect of the delisting and timetable
The primary listing of BASF at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
("FSE") will be maintained following a cancellation of the
secondary listing at LSE. As the volume of trading of the Shares on
the LSE is low and BASF's Shares continue to be traded on the FSE,
BASF believes that the impact of delisting of the Shares from the
LSE on its shareholders will be negligible.
The application to the UK Listing Authority for the Shares to be
removed from the Official List, and to the LSE for the Shares to be
removed from trading was made on February 28, 2019. Pursuant to the
Listing Rule 5.2.8R, the Company announces that the cancellation
notice period of at least 20 business days of the intended
cancellation is such that the last day of dealings in the Shares on
the LSE is expected to be March 28, 2019 and the cancellation of
the listing and of trading in the Shares on the LSE is expected to
take effect at or about 08:00 a.m. London time on March 29, 2019
(the "Effective Date").
