11 Plc had delisted its shares from the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited, ending its 42-year listing on a regular stock exchange. The high-profile delisting shaved off more than N82 billion from the market capitalisation at the NGX.
11 Plc had opted for voluntary delisting after its new owners pushed through shareholders delisting programme as part of restructuring of the downstream oil company.
The NGX stated at the weekend that it delisted the entire share capital of 11 from its Daily Official List in line with the approval of the shareholders of 11 to delist the petroleum company.
