EV Biologics Updates Shareholders on Name and Symbol Change
EV Biologics Corp. (OTC PINK: YECO) updates shareholders on its name change process submitted to FINRA. The company transitioned from the Cayman Islands to Wyoming, completing the necessary filings by May 2019. Despite the name change being effective globally since July 2020, additional document requests from FINRA have delayed the finalization. The company emphasizes that these requests, necessitating notarization, are standard but hindered by COVID-related notary shortages. Once completed, a new trading symbol will be assigned, enhancing investor recognition.
- Successful change of jurisdiction to Wyoming established domestic issuer status.
- Name change to EV Biologics has been globally effective since July 2020.
- Delays in FINRA submission due to additional document requests requiring notarization.
- Notary certification shortages attributed to COVID may prolong the approval process.
CHEYENNE, WY / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2021 / EV Biologics Corp., OTC PINK:YECO, is taking this opportunity to update our shareholders and other investors concerning the status of our name change submission to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). As some might be aware, such submissions can be a lengthy and complex process, requiring notarized documents.
On April 12, 2019, the Company filed Articles of Continuance with the Wyoming Secretary of State in order to change the Company's jurisdiction from the Cayman Islands to the State of Wyoming. Upon completion of that filing in 2019, the Company ceased to be a foreign issuer and became a domestic issuer in the United States. Subsequently, effective May 7, 2019, the Company received written notification from the Wyoming Secretary of State that the Articles of Continuation had been accepted by the State of Wyoming and filed accordingly. The completion of the filing with the Wyoming Secretary of State formally established the domestic, United States jurisdiction of the Company. On July 31, 2020, this move from the Cayman Islands to the United States was followed with our name change to EV Biologics Corp. Our name change has been legally and fully effective in the United States, and indeed, the entire world since that date.
However, because the EV Biologics Corp. is a publicly traded company, and in order to protect shareholders and investors, government regulatory agencies impose additional requirements, including the requirement that FINRA must examine the Company's entire history as well as all documents pertaining to that history.
We began that submission process several months ago. A particularly large file of required documents was delivered to FINRA recently and we received a detailed response requesting a number of additional documents, many of which will require notarization.
None of these additional requests are unusual for FINRA, but the requirement that many require a notary stamp is causing delay as notary certification is in somewhat short supply at the present time due to Covid. We will continue to respond in a timely, accurate and detailed manner and will notify all interested parties as soon as FINRA completes their process. Upon completion, EV Biologics Corp will also receive a new trading symbol from FINRA.
