Addicks closer to leaving stock exchange

Charlton’s proposed withdrawal from the Stock Exchange moved a step closer today when the club purchased 30,000 more of their own shares.

The Addicks’ plc have called an extraordinary general meeting of the company at The Valley in September to approve their removal from the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), with shares being bought for cancellation next month.

A statement to the Stock Exchange confirmed: “These shares have been purchased for cancellation.”

Charlton chairman Richard Murray has stated the club are gaining no benefit from their continued presence on the AIM but has reassured supporters the Addicks will remain a public company if the withdrawal is approved.
