“Theratechnologies has accomplished a great deal in the last few years and we are confident in our growth potential going forward. Our listing on NASDAQ will provide us with the opportunity to share our story and vision with a broader and even more diverse investor base, as well as increase the liquidity of our common shares,” added Mr. Philippe Dubuc, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
The Company will maintain its common share listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “TH”.
