With the iconic bell ringing of the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square, Codere Online celebrated its US stock market debut last Wednesday, December 1st, in a live-streamed virtual event.
Codere Online CEO Moshe Edree was in charge of ringing the virtual bell at the market opening at Nasdaq Tower, in New York, accompanied by employees and collaborators. As a result, Codere Online Luxembourg SA’s common shares and subscription warrants are now traded under the codes CDRO and CDROW, respectively.
“We have an ambitious plan to expand our online betting and gaming business in Latin America, and the closing of this transaction gives us the resources to continue. We are very excited to have been invited to ring the opening bell at Nasdaq, in an event that highlights months of hard work and crystallizes the strength of our project,” explained Edree.
Vicente Di Loreto, CEO of the Codere Group, which holds a majority stake in Codere Online, said: “The closing of this transaction, following the recent financial restructuring of the Codere Group, will provide Codere Online with funds to consolidate its great growth potential , mainly in the Latin American market”.
