Effective at the opening of trading on April 29, 2022, the pre-Consolidation Shares will be delisted and the post-Consolidation Shares will commence trading under the same name Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation and same trading symbol of “ASP”. On the OTCQB, the shares will trade for a period of 20 trading days under the symbol “ASPCD”, before returning to the original symbol of “ASPCF”.

A letter of transmittal will be mailed to registered shareholders.
