Tethys Petroleum Limited has announced that the listing of its securities on the Official List of the Regional Financial Centre of Almaty (“RFCA”) Special Trading Floor operated by the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange JSC (“KASE”) has been approved by a Resolution of the Expert Council of the RFCA. The listing will become effective following the execution of registration documentation and payment of listing fees. The securities code will be “aGG_TPL”.
JSC Astana Finance acted as sponsor for this listing and responsibilities of the market-maker have been assigned to the JSC "Brokerage Company Astana Finance" (Almaty). This listing is a secondary listing to Tethys’ primary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and maintenance of the Company’s shareholders register system will continue to be carried out by Equity Transfer & Trust Company (Toronto, Canada).
Tethys is the first foreign oil and gas company to be accepted to list on the RFCA. The RFCA was established to promote development of the securities market and integration with the international capital markets and has been endorsed by the President of Kazakhstan. The RFCA special trading floor was established on December 15, 2006. The RFCA is operated by the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and is based in Almaty, the business centre of Kazakhstan.
Other companies listed on the RFCA include Kazcommertzbank, Halyk Savings Bank of Kazakhstan, Kazakhtelecom JSC and Astana Finance JSC.
Dr. David Robson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tethys, said, “We are delighted to have been accepted for listing on the RFCA. This listing will complement our current primary listing on the TSX and strengthens our profile in Kazakhstan. I would like to thank our finance team in Almaty and our sponsor, Astana Finance, for their hard work on this groundbreaking listing. This listing further reinforces our commitment to Central Asia and to Kazakhstan in particular and will hopefully allow more Kazakh investment in our company increasing local involvement and exposure to our activities in the region. This is an important part of Tethys’ strategy to become more integrated with the Kazakh and regional economy and the rapidly developing local business and shareholding community.”
