Avon Technologies
plc
("Avon" or the
"Group")
Change of
Company Name
The Group today confirms that Avon
Protection plc has been renamed Avon Technologies
plc.
As announced at the Group's Capital
Markets Day on 8 February 2024 and again at the Group's Interim
Results on 21 May 2024, the Board has chosen to change the name of
the holding company to Avon Technologies plc to improve clarity and
ensure there is no confusion between the Strategic Business Units
("SBUs") and the wider Group.
This new name recognises Avon's
heritage while embracing the next stage of its development -
accelerating growth through innovation in
technology.
The two SBU names, Avon Protection
and Team Wendy, remain unchanged.
The trading symbol ("AVON") and
ISIN/SEDOL codes for the Company's ordinary shares listed on the
London Stock Exchange remain unchanged.
Shareholders should note that their
shareholdings will be unaffected by the change of name. All
existing share certificates that are presently in the hands of
investors should be retained as they will remain valid for all
purposes and no new share certificates will be issued.
The Company's Legal Entity
Identifier remains: 213800JM1AN62REBWA71
