Cian files documents for the registration of the Prospectus with the CBR

 

Larnaca, Cyprus, October 3, 2023 – CIAN PLC (MOEX: CIAN) (“Cian” or the “Company”), a leading online real estate classifieds platform in Russia, has announced today that it has submitted the set of documents for the registration of the Prospectus of Foreign Securities to the Central Bank of Russia.

 

Cian has filed for registration with the Central Bank of Russia the Prospectus of Foreign Securities (the “Prospectus”) in relation to the Company’s American Depositary Shares, each representing one Ordinary Share of CIAN PLC (the “ADSs”), as well as other documents required by applicable law for listing on the Moscow Exchange.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company's press release dated July 24, 2023, the Company’s ADSs were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange effective as of July 31, 2023. On September 20, 2023, the Company filed a Form 15F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for termination of its registration of the ADSs with the SEC.

 

These measures have been taken with the intention to maintain trading of the Company's ADSs on the Moscow Exchange in the ordinary course of business.
