The Nasdaq Stockholm platform has approved the delisting of Aspire from its global list

Renowned gaming company Aspire Global has announced that its application for delisting from the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market has been approved by the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The brand submitted its delisting request on June 15, 2022. According to the acceptance terms, the last day of trading for Aspire Global shares on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market will be July 4, 2022.
In a social media post, former CEO of Aspire and the new president of the recently established NeoGames division, Tsachi Maimon, reflected on the recent developments that led to this decision: "A new great journey is about to begin for Aspire Global. What a crazy nine years it has been! So many achievements."
Maimon added, "I want to take this opportunity to thank my team. We did it. With hard work day and night! And our wonderful board of directors, who provided us with the foundation and guidance for this. And, of course, our partners who have been with us on this long journey. Today, we embark on a new adventure. Together with NeoGames. What a combination, my goodness."
Last week, NeoGames' press office announced the completion of its previously announced tender offer to acquire Aspire, resulting in a total of 99.31% of the group's shares being tendered. The expected settlement date has been set for the end of July this year.
The remaining Aspire Global securities will be subject to a buyback procedure, which is anticipated to be completed in early to mid-August.
