Listings in the U.S. and Europe
QIAGEN’s common shares have been registered and traded in the United States since 1996, listing on the New York Stock Exchange effective January 10, 2018, after trading on NASDAQ markets since the initial public offering (IPO). The shares have traded in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 1997, and the Prime Standard segment since its launch in 2003. Dual listing on NYSE and the Frankfurt exchange offers advantages for QIAGEN, our shareholders and employees since global presence increases the potential market opportunity and enhances liquidity. Unlike American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), QIAGEN shares provide equal corporate rights for all shareholders and can be traded on either exchange, in U.S. dollars or euros.
