Alef expects its shares to start trading on the ADX on June 12, subject to

technology] leader,” Alef chief executive Geoffrey Alphonso said.

“We intend to solidify our market leadership at home and grow our presence
across our target markets through continued investment in our digital
capabilities, broadening our product offering and expanding our geographic
footprint – both organically and through strategic M&A [mergers and
acquisitions].”
