Market capitalisation of approximately NOK 1.6 billion
Oslo – 22 December 2022 – Oslo Børs, part of the Euronext Group, today congratulates Zaptec (ticker: ZAP) on its transfer from Euronext Growth Oslo to the Oslo Børs main market. This is the 14th transfer this year and the 32nd since the beginning of 2020 between the markets at Oslo Børs. This illustrates that the Growth market is fulfilling its intended aim, providing growth companies with access to capital for further development and helping them progress to a listing on the main market.
Zaptec is a Norwegian tech company that over the course of just a few years has become one of the leading producer of smart EV (Electric Vehicle) charging stations. The company is the market leader in Norway, developing EV charging systems for multi- and single-family homes and office buildings.
At opening, the share price was set at NOK 21.67 per share, based on the closing price on Euronext Growth Oslo on 21 December 2022. This corresponds to an estimated market capitalisation of NOK 1.6 billion.
Peter Bardenfleth-Hansen, the CEO of Zaptec, said: “Following its listing on Euronext Growth in 2020, Zaptec has continued to invest in its core business, i.e. intelligent EV chargers of high quality developed to be the safest alternative on the market. Today's listing on the main market at Oslo Børs supports our strategy and provides exposure to a broader, global investor audience, while demonstrating that we are serious about our development of advanced charging technology for a global and expanding EV fleet. Thank you to our shareholders and thank you to everyone in the Zaptec team. Had it not been for the dedication and hard work of our employees, we would not have reached this milestone. Europe next!
We are now entering an index accompanied by a significant extent of corporate professionalism, where we will show ourselves even more as a serious player in our field. With recent and imminent product launches, we are ready to take markets such as the UK, Germany, Netherlands and France by storm.”
