Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to study the forces driving companies’ exit from the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). It also highlights the motives and the information on which this exit was considered as the most appropriate choice as well as the actions taken before, during and after the delisting process from the ASE. Moreover, the differences between voluntarily and not voluntarily delistings are highlighted and useful and valid conclusions from investors who are placed in diversified portfolios are indicated. The chapter attempts finally to give a brief overview of the current regulatory framework in Greece.
