Carnival completes DLC unification and move to Bermuda; plc listings cancelled

Neutral Impact 5 of 5 restructuring Written later

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc completed the unification of their dual listed company structure under Carnival Corporation Ltd., and Carnival Corporation moved its incorporation from Panama to Bermuda. Carnival plc became a wholly-owned UK subsidiary, and its London and NYSE trading and listings were cancelled. The company says the changes are expected to create a single global share price, simplify governance and reporting, reduce administrative costs and increase liquidity and index weighting.

  • ADSs were exchanged for Common Shares of Carnival Corporation Ltd. on a one-for-one basis, and the Deposit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. was terminated
