Summary

  • August 10 marks the start of trading for First Phosphate’s Level 2 ADRs on Nasdaq Global Market under ticker PHOS, replacing its prior OTCQX Level 1 ADR listing.
  • The ADR ratio stays at 10 common shares for 1 ADR, and existing OTCQX ADRs will be automatically converted into Nasdaq-tradable Level 2 ADRs.
  • BNY Mellon remains the depositary bank, and investors can convert common shares into ADRs at no cost through December 31, 2026.
  • First Phosphate said the uplisting does not involve a new securities offering, additional share issuance or capital raising, and leaves its other listings unchanged.
