Zentra Group PLC (AQSE: ZNT), the Manchester-based residential developer and development manager, is pleased to announce that it has completed the transfer of its listing from the Access Segment of the Aquis Stock Exchange to the newly launched Aquis Real Asset Market (“ARAM”).
The Company’s ordinary shares are expected to begin trading on ARAM at 8am today.
ARAM has been developed as a dedicated platform for the listing and trading of real asset-backed securities — including equity and debt at both the company and asset level. The segment has been specifically created to meet the needs of real estate and infrastructure-led businesses, offering more appropriate structures for capital raising, and greater visibility for investors.
For Zentra, ARAM represents an opportunity to operate in a market that is better suited to the way the business is structured and how its developments are funded. The Company believes ARAM will allow investors to engage more directly with its pipeline of projects and provide a clearer view of how value is created at the asset level — something that is harder to achieve under a traditional single-company listing.
Jason Upton, Chief Executive Officer of Zentra Group PLC, commented:
“Our move to ARAM marks a decisive and exciting step in Zentra’s growth journey. As a platform dedicated to real estate, ARAM offers a flexible structure and market fit that aligns with how we operate today and how we plan to scale in the future. We see significant potential to broaden our investor base and deepen engagement with stakeholders through a structure that is more transparent, project-led, and tailored to the nature of our work. Crucially, this transition creates the flexibility, access, and growth potential that we wouldn’t necessarily have on alternative markets.”
Richard Croft, Director of ARAM Advisors, commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome Zentra as the first company to list on ARAM. Zentra represents the kind of high-quality real estate business that Aram was designed to support. Their move from the London Stock Exchange Main Market to Aquis marked a clear desire for a change in the status quo of the listed model, and they have taken that a step further by joining the ARAM segment. Zentra is helping to demonstrate how our market can reshape real estate investment, and we are proud to have them on board as a founding member and stakeholder in ARAM. Both ARAM and Zentra look forward to working together to grow our respective businesses.”
