Byrna Technologies Announces Voluntary Delisting from the Canadian Securities Exchange
ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 12, 2021 /CNW/ -- Byrna Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: BYRN) (CSE: BYRN) ("Byrna" or "the Company") today announced that it has filed a request with the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") to voluntarily delist its shares of common stock from the CSE. Byrna's shares will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets ("Nasdaq").
Byrna's shares began trading on the Nasdaq on May 5, 2021 under the symbol "BYRN", with the result that in excess of 95% of the Company's shares currently trade on the Nasdaq. Given the volume of trading on the Nasdaq, the Company does not expect any adverse impact on the liquidity or value of the Company's shares and expects to generate savings in fees and resources associated with a dual listing.
Byrna has requested that the CSE grant its request effective upon the close of business on Thursday, August 19, 2021 and anticipates that upon the open of the trading day on Friday August 20, 2021, the Company's shares will only trade on the Nasdaq.
The Company expects to continue to be a reporting issuer in certain jurisdictions in Canada and remain subject to continuous disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws in Canada.
The Company has confirmed that Nasdaq listed securities are designated as a "qualified investment" for the purposes of maintaining Byrna shares in Canadian Registered Savings Plans, including RRSP, RESP, RRIF, RDSP and TFSA.
