——————————————————————————–
Nokia Corporation (Nokia) has today filed an application to de-list Nokia shares
from the London Stock Exchange. The liquidity of Nokia shares has been for
several years very limited on the London Stock Exchange, currently representing
less than one per cent of the total trading volume of Nokia shares globally.
This measure will encourage the concentration of the trading of Nokia shares in
the most liquid market places in Europe as well as in other markets.
After the de-listing in London, Nokia shares will be traded on the Helsinki
Stock Exchange (HEX), the Frankfurt and Paris Stock Exchanges within the euro
zone, New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and Stockholm Stock Exchange. As of
October 2003, HEX has represented approximately 60 per cent and NYSE
approximately 25 per cent of the total trading volume in Nokia shares globally.
The de-listing will proceed through a notification process, with anticipated de-
listing to take place on or about November 26, 2003.
