Sunrise shares to start trading on Swiss stock exchange on Nov. 15
Adds details, background from paragraph 3
Oct 16 (Reuters) -Shares in Swiss telecom group Sunrise will start trading on the Swiss stock exchange on Nov. 15, it said on Wednesday, following the company's spin off from U.S. telecommunications company Liberty Global LBTYA.O.
Class A shares in Sunrise, which will be 100% spun off by Liberty Global, are to be included in the Swiss Performance Index five trading days following that date, Sunrise said in a statement.
The company, which provides mobiles, landline, broadband and TV services, was bought by Liberty Global for $7.4 billion in 2020.
Reuters reported in July that Sunrise could have an enterprise value of 8 billion to 9 billion Swiss francs ($9.27 billion to $10.43 billion) following the listing.
Sunrise, the second biggest company in the Swiss telecoms market after state-controlled Swisscom SCMN.S, generated sales of 3.04 billion Swiss francs last year and an adjusted free cash flow of 353 million francs.
The company last month pledged a divided payout of around 240 million francs for 2024, with a future dividend policy of paying out up to 70% of adjusted free cash flow.
Shares in Sunrise will be distributed to Liberty Global shareholders on November 12 initially via American Depositary Shares (ADS) according to the type and number of Liberty Global shares they already have.
The ADS's can be traded on Nasdaq from Nov. 13, and exchanged for Sunrise shares from Nov. 14.
The record date for the distribution of the shares is close of business on November 4.
