Planet Payment Inc. Removal of Restrictions on REG S Shares, Transfer to PPT Line and Cancellation of PPTR Line
June 07 2013 - 7:00AM
Planet Payment, Inc. (Nasdaq:PLPM) (LSE:AIM:PPT), a leading
provider of international payment processing and multi-currency
processing services, announces the following changes in the trading
of its shares on AIM.
The Company announces that, following the termination of
restrictions on the Reg S common shares under U.S. securities law,
the Company will file an application with London Stock Exchange plc
AIM Market ("AIM") for all remaining 2,091,127 Reg S Common Shares
to be transferred from the Reg S line, trading under PPTR, to the
unrestricted line, trading under PPT. It is expected that this
transfer will take effect on June 17, 2013. These shares are
therefore freely tradable on both the AIM market under the ticker
PPT, as well as on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker PLPM.
No new shares are being issued as part of this process and all
Common Shares have always carried exactly the same rights and
privileges.
Since the Company's Common Shares are now registered under the
United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and admitted to
trading on the NASDAQ market, there is no longer any requirement to
maintain a separate PPTR line of stock on the AIM market. As a
consequence, it is expected that this line will be cancelled with
effect from June 17, 2013. Planet Payment's Common Shares will
continue to trade on AIM and to be available to be held in
uncertificated form in the UK in the form of depositary interests
(DIs) within CREST (the UK's securities settlement
system). The PPTR register will be closed effective June 17,
2013.
Following the transfer and admission of all of the above shares
to the PPT line, the Company continues to have a total of
54,360,674 issued and outstanding Common Shares all of which Shares
may be traded on AIM under the ticker PPT, the unrestricted line,
as well as on the NASDAQ market under the ticker
PLPM. All Common Shares carry identical rights and
privileges.
