Latham Advises UK Sponsors on Metlen’s £6 Billion London Listing

Latham & Watkins has advised the joint financial advisers and sponsors on the primary listing of Metlen Energy & Metals, a global energy and metals group based in Greece with operations in over 40 countries, on the London Stock Exchange.

Metlen expects to be admitted to the FTSE 100 as early as September 2025, with a market capitalization currently at €6.71 billion (approximately £6 billion).

Metlen is retaining a listing on the Athens Stock Exchange, and its shares will continue to be denominated in euros, making it one of the first companies to take advantage of new rules that allow shares not denominated in GBP to be included in the FTSE UK indices.

The Latham team was led by London corporate partners James Inness and Anna Ngo, and counsel Koushik Prasad.
