Private joint-stock companies entering the local market can not only help enterprises obtain a huge capital base, but also effectively enhance brand value. This forms a key part of the integrated life system the country has built to embrace and support companies of all sizes, from start-ups to large corporations. It offers one of the best and most convenient business environments in the world.
Last year, ADX launched Nomu Market, a new brand of “secondary market” platform, to provide an advanced trading platform connecting investors with private companies and complementing the growing dynamic system of emerging and promising growth companies in Abu Dhabi. This market provides private companies with access to a broader investor base.
Companies interested in listing on the ADX Nomu Market receive all the support they need throughout the listing process. The marketplace also provides support for listed companies, including access to annual general meeting management services, dividend distribution and corporate communications support.
Eligibility to list on the Nomu market includes changing the legal form of the company to a private joint stock company, provided the company has been established for at least two years, in addition to submitting audited financial statements and listing not less than 5% of its capital.
