Originally listed in 1994 on the Alberta Stock Exchange, which later became the Canadian Venture Exchange, DDD raised US$22 million between 1994 and 2001. In January 2002, DDD migrated its listing to the United Kingdom and simultaneously completed an IPO on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”), raising an additional US$10 million. Further periodic equity investment rounds have taken place since the IPO. At a meeting of shareholders held on 29 Jun 2016, the proposal to cancel the admission to trading on AIM was approved and the company ceased trading on AIM effective close of business 6 July 2016. Immediately following their withdrawal from the AIM stock market, a matched bargain facility was put in place to allow the continued trading in the shares via Asset Match. The Company remains a UK public limited company subject to the rules and regulations of the Companies Act 2006 as amended as well as The City Code on Takeover and Mergers.
