Insurance giant OUTsurance has become the latest major South African company to attain a secondary listing on A2X Markets, its securities will be available for trade from 14 January 2025.
On Wednesday, 7 January 2026, OUTsurance informed shareholders that its ordinary shares have been approved for a secondary listing on A2X.
The secondary listing provides shareholders with an additional venue on which to trade the company’s shares, without altering the underlying economics of the business.
A2X is a licensed stock exchange authorised to provide a secondary listing venue for companies.
The company was founded by Sean Melnick, Ashley Mendelowitz and Kevin Brady with the goal of creating a new South African exchange to compete with the incumbent JSE.
A2X chief executive Brady said the listing would extend OUTsurance’s long-standing focus on value to its shareholders.
“By listing on A2X, OUTsurance will provide its investors with the benefit of choice to transact its shares on an additional venue with reduced transaction fees and extra liquidity.”
OUTsurance becomes the 168th security to list on A2X, which now hosts securities with a combined market capitalisation of more than R12 trillion.
The insurer joins well-known South African and global companies that have opted for a secondary listing on the exchange, including AngloGold Ashanti, Aspen, Exxaro, Discovery, Growthpoint, Implats, Investec, Mr Price, Naspers, Nedbank, Prosus, Remgro, Sanlam, Sasol and Standard Bank.
