Amsterdam – 15 April  2026 – Euronext today congratulates Colt CZ Group, one of the leading producers of firearms, ammunition and energetic nitrocellulose, on its dual listing on Euronext Amsterdam (ticker code: COLT).

Radek Musil, CEO of Colt CZ Group, said: “The completion of the dual listing on Euronext Amsterdam marks a significant milestone in the Company's continued development as a publicly listed company. This step is intended to broaden our visibility among international investors and enhance the liquidity of our shares, further strengthening the attractiveness of the Colt CZ stock. The dual listing also establishes a platform for future capital markets activities, including a potential capital increase.
