Carnival Corporation & plc proposes to unify its dual-listed company structure and redomicile Carnival Corporation from Panama to Bermuda as Carnival Corporation Ltd., subject to shareholder, regulatory and court approvals.
The Boards recommend exchanging each Carnival plc ordinary share for one Carnival Corporation Ltd. common share, delisting Carnival plc from the LSE and terminating the ADS program. The companies expect completion before the end of Q2 2026, with key meetings on April 17, 2026 and an expected Scheme Effective Date of May 7, 2026, subject to the conditions described in the proxy materials.
Carnival Corporation & plc proposes to unify its dual‑listed structure and redomicile Carnival Corporation to Bermuda. The Boards recommend the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions, asking Carnival plc and Carnival Corporation shareholders to vote at special meetings and a court meeting on April 17, 2026.
The plan would exchange each Carnival plc ordinary share for one common share of the redomiciled Carnival Corporation Ltd. listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CCL,” terminate Carnival plc’s LSE listing and delist Carnival plc ADSs from the NYSE, and make Carnival plc a wholly owned UK subsidiary. The timetable in the materials anticipates the Scheme Effective Date and Redomiciliation on May 7, 2026, with a long‑stop date of December 31, 2026. The materials state that former Carnival plc shareholders are expected to hold approximately 10.6% of issued common shares post‑transaction and existing Carnival Corporation shareholders approximately 89.4%, based on shares outstanding as of February 17, 2026.
The Boards state there will be no change to strategy, operations, UK presence, executive leadership or material financial statement impact; they cite a single global share price, consolidated liquidity, expected index weighting increases, reduced administrative and reporting costs, and simplified corporate actions as expected benefits. Completion is conditioned on shareholder approvals, Court sanction of the Scheme, and customary regulatory clearances.
Carnival Corporation & plc asks shareholders to vote on 2026 annual meeting proposals while highlighting a strong 2025. The company reports record revenue of $26.6 billion, record operating income of $4.5 billion (up 25% year over year), its highest adjusted ROIC in 19 years, record booking trends and year-end customer deposits up nearly 7%.
Carnival completed a $19 billion refinancing plan and has reduced total debt by over $10 billion since January 2023, surpassing its investment grade leverage metric threshold and reinstating a dividend. It served over 13.5 million guests in 2025, opened the Celebration Key destination, advanced 2030 sustainability goals with a 20% emissions-intensity cut versus 2019 and a 47% food-waste reduction, and proposes unifying its dual-listed structure into a single Carnival Corporation entity incorporated in Bermuda, subject to shareholder, regulatory and court approvals.
Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc have signed a unification agreement to combine their current dual listed company structure into a single company under Carnival Corporation, with Carnival plc becoming its wholly owned UK subsidiary. They also plan to migrate Carnival Corporation’s domicile from the Republic of Panama to Bermuda under the new name “Carnival Corporation Ltd.”.
These DLC unification and redomiciliation transactions are subject to multiple conditions, including regulatory clearances and a scheme of arrangement becoming effective. Certain German regulatory approvals and early termination of the U.S. antitrust waiting period have already been obtained. If all conditions are not met or waived by December 31, 2026, the transactions may not proceed.
Carnival Corporation has filed Amendment No. 1 to a Form S-4/ proxy statement-prospectus describing a proposed reorganization to unify its dual‑listed company structure and to redomicile Carnival Corporation from Panama to Bermuda as Carnival Corporation Ltd.
The plan would exchange each Carnival plc ordinary share for one Common Share of Carnival Corporation Ltd., cancel Carnival plc’s LSE listing and ADS program, and retain NYSE trading under the symbol CCL. The proposals are subject to shareholder, court and regulatory approvals, with shareholder meetings scheduled for April 17, 2026 and a timetable that targets completion before the end of the second quarter of 2026 (Scheme Effective Date shown as May 7, 2026 in the expected timetable). The filing states former Carnival plc shareholders are expected to hold approximately 10.6% of issued Common Shares and existing Carnival Corporation shareholders approximately 89.4% immediately after completion.
Carnival plc has amended its Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement governing its American Depositary Receipts. The change focuses on when the ADR program can be terminated and what happens to holders’ underlying economic interest.
The agreement may now end on 30 days’ notice from Carnival plc, automatically if the proposed unification of the dual listed company structure and the migration of Carnival Corporation from Panama to Bermuda are completed, or after certain events such as delistings, insolvency, failure to appoint a successor depositary, redemption of deposited securities, or corporate transactions exchanging the underlying shares. If terminated due to the unification and migration, the depositary will seek to distribute New Carnival Shares to ADR holders, or otherwise sell remaining securities and hold net cash proceeds in trust. The amendment also makes technical and conforming changes to the ADR form.
