Graham Hetherington, Chair, said:

We are pleased with the strong support received from shareholders that will allow us to move forward with an Additional US Listing of Indivior shares on a major US stock exchange.  We believe the Additional US Listing will be beneficial in elevating Indivior's visibility and profile in its largest market, and will help attract a broader group of biopharma investors.

We anticipate that the Additional US Listing will become effective in the Spring of 2023 and the Group is diligently working on all requirements to meet this timing.  Indivior will retain its premium listing on the London Stock Exchange and expects to continue to be a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.
