“For the first time Nasdaq Nordic finished 2016 as Europe’s most active exchange, both in terms of value and volume, with Dong Energy A/S as the largest IPO.”
Reasoning
E1, an independent trade report, states that DONG Energy's shares were admitted to trading and officially listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen on 9 June 2016, matching the issuer's own expected date in E3. E2, an independent financial magazine writing in 2017, states that the offering remains the largest IPO ever in Denmark. E4 supports the scale of the deal, naming it the largest IPO on Nasdaq Nordic in 2016. Both the listing date and the Danish IPO record are supported.
