Following Farsons' recent company announcement, Ǫuinco Holdings plc is pleased to confirm that its shares have been admitted to the Official List of the Malta Stock Exchange (MSE) on 6th October 2025 and trading has commenced. The shares were transferred by Farsons as an interim dividend settled in kind and distributed pro-rata to its shareholders.

This marks the successful completion of the spin-off process, establishing Ǫuinco Holdings plc as an independent, publicly listed entity. Ǫuinco Holdings plc incorporates the food business formerly forming part of the Farsons Group, namely Food Chain Limited and Ǫuintano Foods Limited.

In referring to the traditional bell-ringing occasion as a milestone, marking the start of a new journey, Norman Aquilina, Executive Chairman, Ǫuinco Holdings plc stated "Apart from driving shareholder value, our listing on The Malta Stock Exchange represents a powerful statement of our commitment and ambitions, symbolising our intent on scaling up and reaching higher heights. It's also a reflection of our vision as we firmly believe that through this spin-off, we are now better placed to strategically focus and unlock the full potential of our food business whilst paving the way for new opportunities."

Commenting on the rationale behind this spin-off, Louis Farrugia, Chairman, Simonds Farsons Cisk plc said "through the spin off, Ǫuinco Holdings plc will be able to focus solely on a strategic plan for its food business and to maximise efficiencies. We experienced the benefits of a similar decision when Trident Estates plc was spun off from Simonds Farsons Cisk plc in 2018."
