“After nine good years at First North we are excited to make the move to the mid cap segment at NASDAQ OMX’s main market,” said Magnus Nordin, CEO of Tethys Oil. “We are convinced that it is the right trading platform for Tethys in order to support continued growth of our business through the increased investor exposure that we will gain on the main market.”
“Tethys will make a valuable addition to our main market and our Oil & Gas segment where they join several leading industry players,” said Adam Kostyál, Senior Vice President at NASDAQ OMX. “It is very rewarding to see yet another company that makes the journey from First North to the main market, proving that our Nordic listing model works.”
