Santumas Shareholdings plc (“the Company”) recently requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept the surrender of its collective investment scheme licence. The MFSA has accepted the Company’s request. This surrender is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA. Accordingly, with effect from 9 October 2014, the Company ceased to be licensed by the MFSA. On the same date the MFSA has also approved the Company’s application to delist its shares as a collective investment scheme and authorised the admissibility to listing of the Company’s shares on the Malta Stock Exchange as a property holding company.
