Gazit-Globe to Delist Ordinary Shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange


TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gazit-Globe (NYSE/TSX/TASE: GZT), a leading global real estate company focused on ownership, management and development of retail and mixed use properties in urban markets, announced today that it has applied to the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) to have its ordinary shares delisted from the TSX at the close of business on September 27, 2018. This application is being made due to the limited trading volume of Gazit’s ordinary shares on the TSX (0.08% of the trading in Gazit-Globe’s ordinary shares has occurred on the TSX since the date Gazit-Globe’s ordinary shares were listed on the TSX (October 2013)) and as part of Gazit-Globe’s general and administrative expenses reduction initiatives. Gazit-Globe’s ordinary shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), with the TASE being the primary exchange on which the ordinary shares are traded. The ordinary shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE and the TASE on and after the proposed delisting date.

Gazit-Globe has also applied for an order to cease to be a reporting issuer (or equivalent) under applicable securities laws of each of the provinces and territories of Canada. Upon the granting of such order, Gazit-Globe will no longer be a reporting issuer (or equivalent) in any jurisdiction of Canada.
