Yorkshire technology firm WANdisco has confirmed that it is exploring moves to list on an American stock exchange
A statement from the Sheffield-based firm comes at a time when the Ƶ stock exchanges are under pressure following a number of moves from companies linked to this country to instead seek listings in the US. WANdisco - which is dual headquartered in the Ƶ and the US - has released a statement following recent speculation in which it says it had always stated an ambition to have an American listing.
The statement says: “As a dual Ƶ and US headquartered technology company, WANdisco has long-stated its intention to consider an additional listing of its ordinary shares in the United States. The company can confirm that it is in the early stages of proactively exploring this option.
