January 13 2021 - 8:00AM
Protech Home Medical Corp. (“
Protech” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:PTQ; OTCQX:PTQQF) a U.S. based
leader in the home medical equipment industry, focused on
end-to-end respiratory care, is pleased to announced that it has
applied to list its common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market
(“
NASDAQ”).
In advance of a potential listing on the NASDAQ,
Protech will file a Form 40-F Registration Statement with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The listing of
the Company’s common shares on the NASDAQ remains subject to the
approval of the NASDAQ and the satisfaction of all applicable
listing and regulatory requirements. While the Company intends to
satisfy all of the applicable listing criteria, no assurance can be
given that its application will be approved. During the NASDAQ
review process, and in the event of listing on NASDAQ, the
Company’s common shares will continue to trade in Canada on the TSX
Venture Exchange under its symbol “PTQ”.
“The submission of our application to list on
the NASDAQ is a reflection of the tireless effort of the entire
Protech team during a continued period of rapid growth for our
company. This marks a significant milestone in our Company’s life
cycle, and we are excited about substantially increasing our
exposure and accessibility to the U.S. capital markets sphere and
to U.S. based institutional and retail investors,” said Greg
Crawford, Chairman and CEO of Protech. “A NASDAQ listing, coupled
with our aggressive expansion plans is expected to continue to lead
us down the path of becoming a premier technology driven clinical
respiratory company in the United States.”
Chief Financial Officer, Hardik Mehta added,
“The evolution of Protech over the past two years has been
evidenced by our continued record financial and operating
performance. With over $28 million in cash and an untapped US$20
million revolving credit facility with CIT Bank’s Healthcare
Division, we are in the strongest position in the history of the
company to aggressively match our organizational growth with our
level of capital markets exposure. We feel having a tier-one
listing on a prominent U.S. exchange such as NASDAQ will allow us
to meet this goal as we are excited to be active in sharing our
company’s ongoing success on both sides of the border in an effort
to further enhance shareholder value.”

online set-up of equipment for primarily chronic conditions. The
