VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 19, 2017 -- Novelion Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVLN) (TSX:NVLN), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing new standards of care for individuals living with rare diseases, today announced that, as part of its cost rationalization process, the Company’s request to voluntarily delist its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") at the close of markets on May 3, 2017 has been granted. The Company’s shares will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “NVLN”.
The Company believes that the low trading volume of its shares on the TSX over a sustained period no longer justifies the financial and administrative costs associated with maintaining a dual listing. Canadian shareholders will be able to continue to trade the Company’s shares on the NASDAQ exchange through their brokers who have U.S. registered broker-dealer affiliates.
