Why did the JSE list?
In the opinion of the Board, the Listing: • formalises and provides an appropriate platform for trading JSE Shares which will improve the visibility of and, potentially, liquidity in JSE Shares and hence ensure that a transparent price is achieved for buyers and sellers of JSE Shares; • opens additional avenues for the JSE to raise capital, should the need arise; • places the JSE on the same footing as the leading international exchanges whose shares are now listed, thereby facilitating comparison between the JSE and those exchanges as investment cases; and • demonstrates support for the JSE’s core business proposition.
