Board Approves U.S. Merger
The board approved a cross-border merger to redomicile from Luxembourg to the United States, expected to close in January 2027, subject to shareholder approval. A Form S-4 will be filed for the shareholder vote.
-
Strategic Benefits Targeted
The U.S. domicile aims to position Criteo for inclusion in U.S. indices, expand passive investment capital, increase capital management flexibility, and move the listing to the NYSE upon completion.
-
No Immediate Dilution or Capital Change
The redomiciliation does not involve any issuance of new shares or change in share count; each ADS was converted into one ordinary share. The authorized share capital and buyback programs remain as previously approved.
Analysis · CRTO · Trade & Services
Criteo has completed its transition from France to Luxembourg, and its ordinary shares now trade directly on Nasdaq under the ticker CRTO, doing away with the ADS structure. More significantly, the board has authorized the next phase: a cross-border merger to shift the legal domicile to the United States, with a targeted close in January 2027. This paves the way for potential inclusion in U.S. indices, greater capital flexibility, and a move to the NYSE — strategic steps that could widen the investor base and improve liquidity. While the U.S. merger still requires shareholder approval, the board's endorsement signals strong confidence in executing the multi-year redomiciliation plan.
