Montauk Holdings Limited (“MNK”) (JSE:MNK) announced its plans to effect a corporate restructuring that will result in a listing of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary on The NASDAQ Stock Market with a secondary, inward listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “Listing”).

MNK has received approval from the South African Reserve Bank to pursue the Listing. The Listing is subject to shareholder and further regulatory approval both in South Africa and in the U.S. Upon receipt of such approvals, MNK will begin pursuing steps to effectuate the Listing with a target date of April 2019.
