The trade forms part of the Income Insurance Share Liquidity Program established in January this year. The program was founded by Alta and PSPL and facilitated through Alta exchange arm AltaX and provides a liquidity solution to almost sixteen thousand shareholders holding shares valued at as much as $840 million.
The program anticipates additional windows for Income Insurance shareholders to sell their shares to PSPL to follow in the later part of 2024.
By enabling access to PSPL to all Income Insurance shareholders to sell their shares, PSPL is able to subsequently sell these shares on AltaX where it becomes available to investors for trading.
This program creates a seamless trading process on AltaX, leveraging on the digital exchange’s market participants which includes an active global community of traders and market makers.
