Noble plc (NYSE: NE, CSE: NOBLE) has announced its intention to voluntarily delist from NASDAQ Copenhagen while maintaining its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

The NYSE accounts for approximately 99% of Noble's trading volume, providing sufficient liquidity for shareholders. The delisting is expected to be effective in late 2024 or early 2025. Holders of Danish Shares have options to either transfer their shares to NYSE or sell them on NASDAQ prior to the delisting.
