Up-Listing to NASDAQ to Provide Greater Exposure to U.S. Investors
TORONTO, Oct. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aleafia Health Inc. (TSXV: ALEF; OTCQX: ALEAF, FRA: ARAH) (“Aleafia“) or (the “Company“), one of Canada’s leading, vertically integrated cannabis companies, is announcing that it has submitted a finalized application to list its common shares on the NASDAQ.
Listing on a major United States stock exchange will provide unparalleled liquidity and place Aleafia among a small handful of Canadian cannabis companies. The U.S. based NASDAQ stock market is the second largest stock exchange by market capitalization.
Aleafia also intends to submit a Form 40-F, a requirement for Canadian companies to register securities it intends to offer on U.S. markets, to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later this week. The listing remains subject to NASDAQ and SEC approval.
“Listing on the NASDAQ is another step as we continue to execute on our stated goal of attaining a global leadership position in the cannabis space,” said Aleafia Chairman Julian Fantino.
“Management believes that listing on the NASDAQ will help to broaden our shareholder base, increase appeal to institutional investors, provide shareholders with better liquidity and, ultimately increase shareholder value, allowing Aleafia to rapidly accelerate our business strategy,” said Aleafia CEO Geoffrey Benic.
Aleafia’s common shares will continue to trade on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol “ALEAF” until NASDAQ approval and up-listing. Aleafia’s common shares will also continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the ticker symbol "ALEF" post-NASDAQ up-listing.
