Canada’s Pieridae Energy, the developer of the Goldboro LNG export project, said Monday that its shares have been approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The company’s shares will start trading on the TSX at the opening of the market on June 3.
Concurrent with the TSX listing, Pieridae’s shares will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Pieridae’s trading symbol will remain “PEA”.
Pieridae chief executive Alfred Sorensen said in a statement that this is “a big step” for the company.
“The key here is that being a member of the TSX allows Pieridae to tell its story to a bigger investor audience, including the Canadian institutional investment community, which should improve liquidity in the stock,” he said.
To remind, Alberta’s energy regulator has recently blocked a deal for the Foothills assets between Pieridae and Shell citing clean-up concerns.
Pieridae sees the Foothills assets as an anchor production for the Goldboro LNG project in Nova Scotia.
The Canadian company delayed its decision on the LNG project in April due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It also managed to renegotiate extensions of the project’s key deadlines under its long-term deal with Germany’s Uniper.
Pieridae has a 20-year agreement with German utility Uniper for all of the volumes from the first Goldboro liquefaction train.
The Goldboro LNG facility will have two trains with a combined production capacity of 9.6 million tonnes per year.
