CS MEDICA (CSMED), a global medtech CBD company specializing in the development and manufacturing of cannabis treatment products for patients worldwide, today announced that its Board of Directors the 31^st of August 2022 approved a long-term plan to move its share listing from the Spotlight Denmark Market to the Nasdaq Main Market in Denmark (“Main Market”). CS MEDICA’s admission to trading on the Main Market is subject to an extensive application process, and the company must meet several objectives before the listing, meaning this is a long-term goal for the Company.  The company has now initated the process of identifying and evaluating the right financial advisor to assist the company with a long-term market lift.

The Main Market listing can increase a company’s visibility and may result in inclusion in Denmark and International indexes. Starting in September 2022, shares of companies listed on the Danish Main Market may become eligible for the FTSE Global All Cap and related indexes, subject to meeting certain conditions with respect to trading volume and duration of the listing. The selection of shares to be included in the FTSE indexes is revised periodically, every six months. 

CS MEDICA’s shares are listed on the Spotlight Stock Market in Denmark under the ticker symbol “CSMED”. CS MEDICA’s shares were admitted to trading in Denmark on 14. September 2021.

“We are looking forward to starting the process preparing the CS MEDICA’s shares to the Main Market in Denmark” says Lone Henriksen, CEO and founder of CS MEDICA.

The Spotlight Market is a multilateral trading facility (“MTF”) governed by a less extensive rulebook than the Main Market. The European Directive 2004/109/EC of 15 December 2004 on transparency requirements for issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market (the “Transparency Directive”) does not apply to shares listed on MTFs.  If its shares are admitted to trading on the Main Market in Denmark, CS MEDICA will become subject to the supervision from the competent authority and the Exchange (NASDAQ).

“We are happy we launched at Spotlight as a nano/microcap company in an early growth phase, and the support has been outstanding. However, as we have finalized the main clinical trials, we are rapidly reaching international territories with our finished, registered products plus the technology and science behind the formulas and CBD know-how, allowing us to reach further segments. Combined with the fact we have a first mover advantage, being ahead of the competition on registrations from MDD to MDR, we need to capitalize now. Hence, we need to prepare for the next growth phase, and have been recommended to start the process of moving to the Main Market” Lone Henriksen continues.

Info 
When listed on the MTF marketplace, applying with the IFRS standards is one of the first steps when preparing for the main market, hence CS MEDICA plan to adopt the IFRS standards at the upcoming annual report for the financial year 2021/2022.  Due to the extra work involved, with the IFRS adoption the company must move the annual report to mid-January 2023, and the same applies to the annual general meeting[i]. However, when preparing the Year-end report, which are released the 18th of November 2022, an auditor's review will be included.

There is a lot of objectives to be met before the listing, meaning this is a long-term goal for the Company.

[i] Further notice about the change of dates will be sent out at a later stage.
