If Stocks are delisted, it means they are no longer traded on their current stock exchange. In such cases, various scenarios are possible depending on the reason for the delisting:

🔹 Delisting due to a merger or acquisition
In the case of corporate actions such as a merger or acquisition, the client usually receives compensation in cash or other securities. This process may take some time, but the investor does not need to take any additional steps — they will be informed once the funds or new securities appear in their account.

🔹 Delisting due to company insolvency
If the company declares bankruptcy, the shares may be canceled (closed at a price of 0), as they become worthless. In this situation, no compensation is provided.

🔹 Transfer to a market not supported by XTB
If the shares are moved to another market that XTB does not support, the client may consider transferring the securities to another broker that allows trading on that market.
