'We are delighted that our move to list our shares on the WSE has been approved.
Plaza's strong profile and reputation in CEE has resulted in growing investor
appetite, both in Poland and the wider CEE region, to invest in the Company
through a local Stock Exchange.
'The WSE has been extremely active over the past few years, with fast-increasing
levels of investment activity from both institutional and retail investors. We
are confident that this dual listing represents an attractive strategic move for
the Company, and we believe it will benefit all our shareholders in terms of
generating increased liquidity in the shares.'
