VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 6, 2021 / Core One Labs Inc. (CSE:COOL)(OTC PINK:CLABF)(Frankfurt:LD62)(WKN:A2P8K3) (the "Company") announces that it has engaged Donohoe Advisory Associates LLC ("Donohoe Advisory") in connection with its efforts to seek a listing for its common shares on a NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company expects that listing its common shares on NASDAQ will provide increased investor awareness and market liquidity for shareholders.
Donohoe Advisory was founded by Dave Donohoe in 2004, and since that time the firm has successfully represented hundreds of companies in a wide range of listing matters for both the NASDAQ Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange. Donohoe's senior advisory team have previously worked for either NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Prior to forming Donohoe Advisory, Dave Donohoe spent over nine years with NASDAQ, where he ultimately served as Chief Counsel in the Listing Qualifications Department. Other senior advisors include Katherine Roberson Petty, former Senior Counsel for NASDAQ's Office of General Counsel, Bruce Poignant, former NYSE Executive in their Capital Markets Group, Tamara Kondic, former Director in the Listing Qualifications Department at the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and David Compton, former Director of Corporate Governance Interpretations at NASDAQ.
NASDAQ is ranked the second largest exchange by market capitalization worldwide, behind the New York Stock Exchange. To qualify for listing on the exchange, a company must be registered with the United Sates Securities and Exchange Commission, must have at least three market makers and must meet minimum requirements for assets, capital, public shares, and shareholders.
With investor interest in the psychedelics space on the rise the Company believes that a near term listing on NASDAQ is most opportune. Investor interest is acquiring some very high profile executives and celebrities, as well, and providing exposure for investing in the psychedelic sectors future. Hedge fund billionaire Steven Cohen, Joby Pritzker, cofounder of Tao Capital and an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, along with Bob Parsons billionaire founder of GoDaddy and golf equipment manufacturer PXG, have all donated to Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Sturdies (MAPS) - a non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana.
Compass Pathways was the first Psychedelic company to complete an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the NASDAQ last year, with Billionaire Peter Thiel holding an approximate ownership of
"Donohoe Advisory is the premier advisory firm for managing the legal requirements, regulatory issues, and application processes necessary for a successful uplisting. Listing the company on the NASDAQ will open access to larger institutional and Wall Street Investors seeking investments in the psychedelic space. I anticipate Core One Labs will garner strong interest from investors as its operations are comparable to other NASDAQ listed companies in the space. In addition, this greater exposure would lead to a more reasonable valuation as management believes that the company is significantly undervalued compared to its peers." stated Joel Shacker CEO of the Company.
Readers are cautioned that while the Company has engaged Donohoe Advisory in connection with its efforts to seek a listing on NASDAQ, the Company has not yet applied for a listing or made a final decision to proceed with a listing. Completion of a listing is subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements and will require the consolidation of the outstanding share capital of the Company in order to meet minimum market value requirements. In the event the Company does elect to proceed with a listing, it is contemplated that its common shares would continue to trade in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
The Company will be hosting an investor conference call on Wednesday February 10, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. PST, 4:30 p.m. EST, 10:30 p.m. CET, with Dr. Robert E.W. Hancock, Chairman and Joel Shacker, CEO to discuss development and strategy.
Dr. Robert E.W. Hancock will be discussing progress that has been made at Core One's Lab in British Columbia. He will provide updates on major milestones that have been reached. He will also provide an in depth look at the psychedelic space, and what Core One Labs is doing that separates itself from other companies in this space.
