Chair­man PB Scott de­scribed the move as a his­toric mo­ment for the com­pa­ny.

“AS Bry­den has op­er­at­ed in T&T for over a cen­tu­ry. We are de­light­ed to an­nounce that our shares are now avail­able for trad­ing on the Trinidad and To­ba­go Stock Ex­change for the first time. This list­ing ful­fills our com­mit­ment to list AS Bry­den on its lo­cal ex­change and gives our busi­ness ad­di­tion­al op­tions for ac­cess­ing cap­i­tal in the fu­ture.”

Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Richard Pan­do­hie em­pha­sised the com­pa­ny’s em­ploy­ee own­er­ship mod­el and long-stand­ing com­mu­ni­ty ties.

“Our em­ploy­ees are the heart of our com­pa­ny, tru­ly em­body­ing the cus­tomer-first, peo­ple-cen­tred ap­proach that has made Bry­dens trust­ed and loved for gen­er­a­tions. In fact, the ma­jor­i­ty of our em­ploy­ees in Trinidad are al­so share­hold­ers. This list­ing on the TTSE not on­ly pro­vides them with a new mar­ket for their shares, but al­so opens the door for all stake­hold­ers in Trinidad to share in AS Bry­den’s con­tin­ued suc­cess.”

Hamel-Smith and Re­pub­lic Wealth Man­age­ment served as the com­pa­ny’s le­gal coun­sel and bro­ker, re­spec­tive­ly, in prepar­ing for the list­ing.

Its en­try is ex­pect­ed to gen­er­ate re­newed in­ter­est among in­vestors, par­tic­u­lar­ly giv­en its strong brand recog­ni­tion and deep roots in the lo­cal econ­o­my.

Fur­ther de­tails, in­clud­ing the as­signed tick­er sym­bols and open­ing share prices, are ex­pect­ed to be re­leased by the TTSE ahead of the Au­gust 29 list­ing date.
