US Ecology Announces Intent to Continue its Listing of Warrants on Nasdaq

/EIN News/ -- BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On December 5, 2019, US Ecology, Inc. (the “Company”) withdrew its notice to delist its warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “ECOL Warrants”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq’). On December 5, 2019, Nasdaq made an immediately effective rule filing (SR-NASDAQ-2019-092) to reduce the round lot holder requirement for the listing of warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5515(a)(4) from 400 holders to 100 holders who are both public holders and round lot holders. As a result, the ECOL Warrants now satisfy the applicable listing standard.

Effective as of the commencement of trading on December 11, 2019, it is expected that trading of the ECOL Warrants will be transitioned from the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq GS”) to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company does not anticipate that there will be any disruption in the trading of the ECOL Warrants in connection with this transition.

The transition of the ECOL Warrants to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market will not have an impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ECOL.”
