DURBAN - Allied Electronics Corporation (Altron) share price rose by more than 5 percent on the JSE on Thursday after the information technology group announced that it has completed the demerger and listing of Bytes Technology Group plc (Bytes).
Bytes has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the JSE and it achieved a price of £2.70 per Bytes ordinary share on listing, with a market capitalisation of approximately £647 million (R13 billion).
Altron said in April that the rationale behind the demerger was that Bytes’ value was not reflected in Altron’s share price and its growth path was different from the rest of the group.

Today, Bytes has been admitted to the premium listing segment of the official list of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, to unconditional trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, and the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange by way of a secondary inward listing.
This marks the completion of the demerger of the Bytes group from the Altron Group, a transaction which Altron announced to the market in April 2020. The achieved price of £2.70 per Bytes ordinary share results in a market capitalisation at the Issue Price of approximately £647-million (about R13 billion) on Admission. The Issue Price was in the top half of the previously communicated price range of £2.40 to £2.90 per Bytes ordinary share.
