The board approved the second step — a cross-border merger into a U.S. subsidiary — which is expected to complete in January 2027, subject to shareholder approval.
-
NYSE Listing Planned
Upon establishing a U.S. domicile, Criteo intends to move its listing from Nasdaq to the NYSE, citing the exchange's index advisory capabilities and the potential for major index inclusion.

Strategic Rationale
The redomiciliation aims to reduce corporate complexity, increase capital management flexibility, and attract a broader investor base, including passive funds.
Analysis · CRTO · Trade & Services
Marking a pivotal milestone in its long-planned redomiciliation, Criteo has completed the transfer of its legal domicile from France to Luxembourg. The board has now approved the second and final step — a move to the United States, expected in January 2027 — and intends to list on the NYSE. This is a material corporate governance event that could broaden the shareholder base and improve index eligibility, but it remains subject to shareholder approval and carries execution risk. The move comes amid a recent takeover offer from Vista Equity and Quinti Capital at a significant premium, adding strategic context.
