11 Plc, formerly Mobil Oil Plc, voluntarily delisted on May 7, 2021, after 43 years of trading on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
In March, 11 Plc had told its minority shareholders that they could still retain their shares as the company was not willing to forcefully acquire their shares.
“The delisting of 11 Plc’s shares from NSE is not meant to make the company private. It is only a cessation of trading of the company’s shares on the NSE platform,” 11 Plc had said.
