National Australia Bank Applies to De-list from Tokyo Stock Exchange

 

The National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) today lodged an application to de-list its shares from the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).

 

National Australia Bank Group Chief Executive Officer John Stewart said de-listing from the TSE is part of the Group’s ongoing streamlining of operations and cost reductions and would have no impact on the bank’s business in Japan.

 

“Japan offers an attractive source of funding but listing on the TSE is no longer a requirement for raising funds in Japan,” he said.
