Integra Resources Announces Application to List on the NYSE American and Share Consolidation
VANCOUVER, July 07, 2020 - Integra Resources Corp. (“Integra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has applied to list its issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") on the NYSE American, LLC (the "NYSE American").
In advance of listing on the NYSE American, Integra will file a Form 40-F Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Subject to the approval of the NYSE American and the satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements, the Company expects its Common Shares to commence trading on the NYSE American by the end of July.
Integra’s Common Shares would trade on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “ITGR”. A trading date will be announced once all regulatory requirements are satisfied. The trading on the OTCQX will cease concurrent with the NYSE American listing.
George Salamis, President and CEO of Integra Resources, commented, “Given the Company’s focus on the advanced-stage DeLamar Gold-Silver Project situated in southwestern Idaho, USA, listing on the NYSE American will further enhance Integra’s presence in the United States.” Mr. Salamis added, “Assets like DeLamar are rare, and there is an increased demand for development stage projects located in North America. The NYSE American listing will provide enhanced trading access to U.S.-based funds and retail investors, further enhancing Integra’s stock market visibility. This co-listing is a natural step in the growth and evolution of the Company.”
Share Consolidation
In connection with the planned listing on the NYSE American, the Company will consolidate all of its Common Shares on the basis of one (1) new post-consolidation Common Share for every two and a half (2.5) existing pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation").
The Board of Directors of the Company have approved the Consolidation, which will be effective as of July 9, 2020. The Consolidation reduces the number of outstanding Common Shares from 119,557,943 to approximately 47,823,177. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the Company's outstanding stock options. No fractional Common Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation and any fractional Common Shares that would have otherwise been issued will be rounded to the nearest whole Common Share.
A letter of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation will be mailed to the Company's registered shareholders. All registered shareholders will be required to send their certificate(s) representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares, along with a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, in accordance with the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for their post-consolidation positions. A copy of the letter of transmittal is posted on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. It is anticipated that the post-Consolidation Common Shares will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under its new CUSIP number 45826T301 (ISIN CA45826T3010) on July 9, 2020. The Company’s ticker symbol "ITR" will remain the same.
