METLEN Energy & Metals Begins Trading on the London Stock Exchange
On August 5, 2025, METLEN Energy & Metals Plc (MTLEN) made a remarkable entry into the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as a significant step in its strategic growth plan. With an overwhelming acceptance rate of over 90% from a recent voluntary exchange offer, this milestone marks a pivotal moment for the company, enhancing its visibility and appeal to international investors.
The ceremonial open market event was graced by METLEN's Chairman and CEO, Evangelos Mytilineos, alongside key members of the company's executive team. The event signified a decisive transition for METLEN as it develops into a dual-listed entity on two prominent financial markets — the LSE as its primary listing and the Athens Stock Exchange as its secondary platform.
In his statements during the ceremony, Mytilineos articulated, "Today marks a significant step in METLEN's trajectory as a global powerhouse in the energy and industrial sectors. Our presence on the London Stock Exchange is not merely about listing; it represents our ambition and the scale of our operations in energy and metals, unlocking new opportunities for growth across markets worldwide."
In an unprecedented move, METLEN became the first company to have its main listing denominated in euros on the LSE. This strategy not only enhances the company’s accessibility for European investors but also positions METLEN competitively in the global marketplace.
The company has outlined ambitious plans supported by strategic financial partnerships. Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc and Citigroup Global Markets Limited were instrumental as joint financial advisors and sponsors of METLEN's listing on the LSE. In Greece, National Bank of Greece S.A. and Piraeus Bank provided advisory services in relation to its secondary listing in Athens prior to this event.
Legal counsel for the venture was provided by esteemed firms, including Clifford Chance LLP for international matters, while Bernitsas Law Firm represented METLEN in Greece. The UK sponsors were also supported by Latham & Watkins LLP, and local advisers included Karatzas Partners and Papanikolopoulou Partners Law. Furthermore, EY LLP handled international tax advisement, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as METLEN's auditor regarding the LSE listing.
