Trading in Netled Ltd.’s shares on the Privanet trading platform has ceased with effect from summer 2021 after the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority withdrew Privanet Securities Ltd.’s authorisation.
“Shareholders need not be concerned about the situation. At the current time shares can only be traded between private individuals, but we are actively looking into the best solutions that will allow Netled shares to be traded again. The vertical farming market is experiencing rapid growth, which can also be seen in our order and offer portfolio. In October, we will hold a webinar for shareholders where we will address questions on this issue.” says Niko Kivioja, CEO of Netled.
