Each ADS represents five of the Company’s ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”).

Joe Wiley, CEO of Amryt, commented: “Listing on Nasdaq is a very important milestone for Amryt and will provide us with the opportunity to improve underlying liquidity in our shares, target a wider investor audience and increase our analyst coverage. With nearly 70% of our shareholders based in North America, listing on Nasdaq is an important part of our shareholder engagement and development plans.  Furthermore, we believe our Nasdaq listing will significantly assist our efforts to drive value for all our stakeholders. Ringing the closing bell on Nasdaq is a great honour for all the Amryt team and we are very much looking forward to participating later today.”

A registration statement on Form F-1 was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to facilitate the creation of a trading market in the United States for ADSs and in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into with certain investors who acquired Ordinary Shares in connection with the Company's acquisition of Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in September 2019. The Company has not issued any new securities in connection with this filing.  The Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”) and the Euronext Growth Market in Dublin (“Euronext”). 

The Company also announces today that Mr. Ray Stafford (Company Chairman), Dr Joe Wiley (Company CEO) and Mr. Rory Nealon (Company CFO/COO) will be converting their Ordinary Shares into ADSs in the first month post listing on Nasdaq. 

Citibank can accommodate all shareholders should they wish to convert their Ordinary Shares into ADSs. Should shareholders have any questions in relation to the mechanics of converting their Ordinary Shares into ADSs, they are advised to contact their broker.
