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.
