NORCROSS, Ga., March 23, 2017 -- Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:GALT), the leading developer of therapeutics that target galectin proteins, announced today that trading will be halted in GALTW and GALTU at close of business on March 23, 2017 due to the expiration, on March 28, 2017, of certain publicly traded warrants that were issued in March 2012. The Company’s common stock, GALT, will not be affected and will continue to trade on the Nasdaq market. GALTU are units that were sold in March 2012 that consist of two shares of GALT common stock and one warrant. Unit holders had the right at any time to separate each GALTU unit into two shares of GALT common stock and one publicly traded warrant, and most unit holders exercised that right. GALTW are the free-standing warrants that were separated from the units. Unit holders who did not previously separate their units may now exchange each unit for two shares of GALT common stock.
