Stockholm, March 28, 2019 - Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) announces that Nordic Entertainment Group AB (publ) (NENT Group) (short name: NENT A, NENT B), a large cap company within the consumer services sector, today will start trading of its shares on the main market of Nasdaq Stockholm. NENT Group is a spin-off from Modern Times Group MTG AB and is the 10th company to list on Nasdaq's Nordic markets* in 2019. NENT Group is the Nordic region's leading entertainment provider. The company entertains millions of people every day with its streaming services, TV channels and radio stations, and its production companies create content that is experienced around the world. NENT Group makes life more entertaining by telling stories, touching lives and expanding worlds - from live sports, movies and series to music and original shows.
