Oslo – 30 March 2023 – Oslo Børs, part of the Euronext Group, today congratulates Hexagon Purus (ticker: HPUR) on its transfer from Euronext Growth Oslo to the Oslo Børs main market. This is the second transfer between the markets at Oslo Børs of the year and the 34th since the beginning of 2020. This illustrates that the Growth market is fulfilling its intended aim, providing growing companies with access to capital for further development and helping them progress to a listing on the main market.
Hexagon Purus is a provider of key technologies needed for zero emission mobility solutions, used in a wide range of mobility applications such as heavy-duty vehicles, buses, maritime vessels, rail, aerospace and distribution modules. The company has a team of almost 600 professionals with offices in Norway, Germany, USA, Canada and China.
At opening, the share price was NOK 25.30 per share, based on the closing price on Euronext Growth Oslo on 29 March 2023. This corresponds to an estimated market capitalisation of NOK 7 billion.
Morten Holum, CEO of Hexagon Purus, said: “Moving to the main market of Oslo Børs has been a key objective for us, so today marks an important milestone for Hexagon Purus. Since listing the company on Euronext Growth a little more than two years ago, we have increased our revenue more than fivefold from NOK 180 million in 2020 to almost NOK 1 billion in 2022. The team’s tireless efforts have been all-important for this successful journey and in making us one of the leading players in the zero emission mobility and hydrogen infrastructure value chain. We are excited to continue our growth journey towards a greener future on Oslo Børs’ main market.”
