Bank Of Ireland Group plc ( (DE:BIRG) ) has provided an announcement.

Bank of Ireland Group plc has called its Annual General Meeting for 21 May 2026 in Dublin, where shareholders will vote on a proposal to cancel the company’s listing on the London Stock Exchange. The board argues that trading volumes in London have become negligible compared with overall activity in the stock and that the costs of maintaining the UK listing are no longer justified, with the shares to remain listed on Euronext Dublin.

The bank is also seeking authority to introduce an odd-lot share offer within 18 months of the AGM, allowing investors holding 30 or fewer shares to sell them back to the company at a 5% premium without incurring dealing costs. Any odd-lot transaction would require a change to the company’s Articles of Association and prior approval from the European Central Bank, potentially simplifying the share register and offering small shareholders a cost‑efficient exit route.
