**[Diversified Energy Company PLC](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/diversified-energy-company-plc/dec.l)**(
[LON:DEC](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/diversified-energy-company-plc/dec.l),
NYSE: DEC) has announced that trading in its ordinary shares will commence at U.
S. market open today on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol“
DEC” as part of the Company’s previously announced US listing process. The Company
will retain its premium listing and will continue to trade on the main market of
the London Stock Exchange. Further, it is expected that the Company will also continue
to be a constituent of the [FTSE 250](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/news/ftse-250)
index in the UK.  No ordinary shares are being offered or sold in connection with
the US listing.

The Board believes that the US listing will benefit the Company and its shareholders
for multiple reasons, including raising its profile in the US. The Board expects
that the US listing will facilitate broadening the Company’s access to high-quality
equity investors (including domestic US funds) and will also increase the Company’s
ability to attract a broader group of equity research analysts as there is a comparable
set of peer companies listed in the US which have a strong US equity investor base
and are covered by a broad group of equity research analysts. The Board also expects
that the US Listing will enhance the Company’s daily trading liquidity and potentially
provide it access to additional financing options, which can be used to continue
the Company’s acquisitive strategy.

**Rusty Hutson, Jr., CEO of the Company, commented:**

_“The additional listing on the NYSE is an important milestone and was a high-priority
strategic initiative for the year. We expect the NYSE listing will facilitate increased
ownership by US domestic funds over time. The executive team plans to undertake 
additional investor engagement to enhance understanding and awareness of why we 
believe that as the natural consolidator of existing mature assets under our stewardship-
based strategy, we are the **RIGHT COMPANY** at the **RIGHT TIME**.”_

**Additionally, John Tuttle, Vice Chair of the NYSE Group, said:**

_“We are thrilled to welcome Diversified Energy, a leading US domestic producer 
of natural gas, to our NYSE community. As the listing venue for many leading energy
companies, Diversified Energy will feel right at home at the New York Stock Exchange.”_
