  • CEO Peter Espig reaffirmed the company’s commitment to securing regulatory approval and preserving shareholder value through the ADR program.

Key Details

  • Administrative simplicity via a depositary bank (e.g., BNY Mellon, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank).
  • Regulatory Review: Subject to NASDAQ’s Rule IM‑5101‑3 (adopted Dec 2025), which allows NASDAQ discretionary denial based on qualitative risk factors such as potential market manipulation.
  • CEO Statement: “Nicola, its legal team, and NASDAQ continue to work sedulously towards assuring a sound structure as we move forward with this strategic structure…we remain committed to prudently move forward in a structure beneficial to the US markets while striving for stability to our Canadian shareholders.”
  • Forward‑Looking Nature: The release contains forward‑looking statements regarding regulatory approvals and anticipated benefits; actual outcomes may differ.
