Carnival Corporation & plc Completes Unification of Dual Listed Company
Structure and Redomiciliation to Bermuda
MIAMI, May 7, 2026 / — Carnival
Corporation (https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4683581
-1&h=1649985071&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.carnivalcorp.com%2F&a=Carnival+Corporation) (N
YSE: CCL) and Carnival plc announced today the completion of the unification of
their dual listed company structure under a single company, Carnival Corporation
Ltd. (the «Company»), with Carnival plc as a UK subsidiary of Carnival
Corporation Ltd. (the «DLC Unification»). In addition, Carnival Corporation also
migrated its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Republic of Panama to
Bermuda and changed its name to «Carnival Corporation Ltd.» (the
«Redomiciliation» and, together with the DLC Unification, the «DLC Unification
and Redomiciliation Transactions»).
Completion of the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions will deliver
a number of benefits to the Company and its shareholders, including creation of
a single global share price, streamlined governance and reporting and reduced
administrative costs. The DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions are
also expected to increase liquidity and weighting in major U.S. stock indexes.
The Company believes that these benefits will strengthen its ability to deliver
long-term shareholder value.
As a result of the Redomiciliation, the shares of Carnival Corporation common
stock held by Carnival Corporation shareholders prior to the DLC Unification and
Redomiciliation Transactions now represent the same number of common shares of
Carnival Corporation Ltd. (the «Common Shares»). The Common Shares are listed on
the New York Stock Exchange (the «NYSE») under the trading symbol «CCL.»
In connection with the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions, each
Carnival plc shareholder subject to the scheme of arrangement is entitled to
receive one Common Share of Carnival Corporation Ltd. for each Carnival plc
ordinary share held as of 6:00 p.m. (BST) on May 5, 2026. The listing of
Carnival plc securities on the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct
Authority and the trading of Carnival plc securities on the London Stock
Exchange and the NYSE were cancelled today, and Carnival plc intends to
deregister its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Carnival
plc will be re-registered as a private limited company shortly after completion
of the DLC Unification and Redomiciliation Transactions.
