HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 1, 2026--
Expro Group Holdings N.V. (NYSE: XPRO) (the “Company” or “Expro”) today announced the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has unanimously approved a plan to change the Company’s corporate domicile from the Netherlands to the Cayman Islands (the “Redomicile”). The Company and the Board believe that the Redomicile will promote the sustainable success of its business, taking into account the interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders, and will enhance shareholder value over the long-term by providing potential strategic opportunities and benefits.
Following shareholder approval, the Redomicile will be completed through a series of proposed transactions, which will include: (i) the Company merging with and into Expro Luxembourg S.A., with Expro Luxembourg S.A. surviving, and (ii) as soon as practicable thereafter, Expro Luxembourg S.A. merging with and into Expro Ltd (“Expro Cayman”). Upon completion of such transactions, Expro shareholders will hold one ordinary share of Expro Cayman (“Expro Cayman Ordinary Shares”) for each share of common stock of Expro (“Expro Common Stock”) owned immediately prior to the Redomicile. Expro Common Stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) up to and including the effective date of the Redomicile. Following the effective date of the Redomicile, Expro Cayman Ordinary Shares will be listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “XPRO.” The Company’s shares will continue to trade uninterrupted during and upon completion of the Redomicile.
Benefits from the Redomestication will include: (i) simplifying the Expro group’s corporate structure and streamlining reporting requirements, (ii) providing a more favorable corporate structure for growth and (iii) providing enhanced flexibility in corporate governance principles under Cayman Islands law.
The Redomicile requires a shareholder vote for approval, which is expected to be conducted through the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of Expro shareholders, which is anticipated to occur in June 2026. Further details are provided in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement/prospectus included in a registration statement on Form S-4 of Expro Cayman, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2026.
