Fastned transfers from NPEX to Nxchange LawyersNiels HofkesTrack Record

Fastned transfers from NPEX to Nxchange

We were involved with the introduction of Fastned, builder of European network of fast charging stations for electric vehicles, on the new stock exchange Nxchange. Fastned moves to Nxchange because this European exchange fits with the European expansion plans of Fastned. Nxchange operates (like Euronext) under license of the AFM as regulated market. As a result of the switch to a regulated market, more parties can invest in Fastned. Fastned expects that it will become easier to attract new capital and that the tradeability of the shares will improve. Our role in this listing related to the documentation for the transfer of the Fastned certificates from the NPEX platform to Nxchange.
