Aptorum Group Limited Announces Voluntary Delisting from Euronext Paris

Regulatory News:

Aptorum Group Limited (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:APM, Euronext Paris:APM) announced today that following a comprehensive review of the trading volume, costs and administrative requirements related to its listing on Euronext Paris, it has decided to request the voluntary delisting of its shares (the “Aptorum Shares”) (ISIN KYG6096M1226) from Euronext Paris. The Board of Euronext has approved this request.

Following the delisting from Euronext Paris, the Aptorum Shares will remain listed on the NASDAQ (the “NASDAQ”), the Company’s primary listing exchange. Delisting the Aptorum Shares from Euronext Paris has no impact on the NASDAQ listing of Aptorum Shares.

A voluntary sales facility procedure on Euronext Paris will be implemented by the Company for the benefit of its shareholders holding their Aptorum Shares through Euroclear France (the “Euronext Shareholders”), in accordance with Euronext rules (the “Sales Facility”). Accordingly, the Euronext Shareholders will have the following options:

  • decide not to participate in the voluntary sales facility and keep their Aptorum Shares, which they will be able to trade on Euronext Paris through and including the trading day prior to the delisting date, and thereafter, only on the NASDAQ; or
  • participate in the voluntary sales facility described below and sell all or part of their Aptorum Shares on the NASDAQ.

Euronext Shareholders not participating

Euronext Shareholders who do not wish to sell their Aptorum Shares pursuant to the Sales Facility, or otherwise have taken no action to tender their Aptorum Shares in the Sales Facility may only trade their Aptorum Shares on the NASDAQ following the delisting date. Any such holding and/or trade will be subject to the terms applied by their financial intermediary who will take the necessary steps to move their Aptorum Shares from Euroclear France to the relevant alternative central system for depositary.

Participating Euronext Shareholders

Euronext Shareholders who wish to sell their Aptorum Shares on the NASDAQ pursuant to the Sales Facility must request their financial intermediaries to deliver their Aptorum Shares from June 15, 2023 to June 28, 2023 included, to Uptevia, acting as centralizing agent, pursuant to the procedure described in the applicable Euronext notice expected to be published on June 12, 2023.

The Aptorum Shares delivered to Uptevia will be sold on the NASDAQ, beginning on July 5, 2023, by a broker, at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale.

Uptevia will calculate the average sale price of the Aptorum Shares and will be in charge of transferring the sale proceeds to the participating Euronext Shareholders, calculated on the basis of the average sale price of the Aptorum Shares.

The Company will pay the fees for the centralization and the brokerage fees related to the sale of Aptorum Shares on the NASDAQ delivered to Uptevia and sold pursuant to the Sales Facility.

Euronext Shareholders are reminded that they may tender their Aptorum Shares in the Sales Facility on a voluntary basis.

No assurance can be given by the Company or Uptevia as to the price at which the Aptorum Shares will actually be sold on the NASDAQ or the actual average sale price. This process is being implemented solely as an option to Euronext Shareholders and participation is not mandatory. Individual investors may thus determine not to participate in this process or may decide not to take any action in which case no assurance may be given as to the terms that will be applied by their financial intermediary in connection with or after the delisting from Euronext Paris. Individual investors are invited to consult their own investment advisors before making a decision to participate or not in this process.

The timetable of the Sales Facility and the delisting described above may be summarized as follows (it being specified that the Company reserves the right to amend this timetable at any time, in its sole discretion):
