Tharisa's primary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), secondary standard listing on the main board of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and issued share capital will be unaffected by the secondary listing on A2X. Tharisa's shares will commence trading on A2X from the A2X listing date.

Commenting on the listing, Tharisa CEO Phoevos Pouroulis said:

"We see the secondary listing on A2X as an opportunity to improve liquidity and attract new investors through the lower trading costs offered by the A2X trading platform. There are no additional regulatory requirements or ongoing obligations to comply with. Listing on A2X will complement Tharisa's existing listings on the JSE and LSE by providing investors with a choice of exchange on which to transact."
