THXBY) ("Therapix" or "the Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel
therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform THX-110, today announced that its Board of Directors has decided
to take steps to voluntarily delist Therapix's ordinary shares from trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), while
maintaining a continued listing of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq).Therapix is
delisting its ordinary shares from the TASE in order to be subject to one set of listing regulations instead of two, to allow
greater flexibility to execute its business and financing strategy and to reduce costs of operations.
Under applicable Israeli law, the delisting of Therapix's ordinary shares from trading on the TASE is expected to become
effective three (3) months from the date of the request. During this time, Therapix's ordinary shares will continue to be
traded on the TASE. Therapix is not aware of any technical or substantive impediment to the trading of Therapix's
ADSs on the Nasdaq Capital Market following its delisting from the TASE.
An announcement regarding the delisting procedure and timeline will follow. Therapix's
listing and trading of its ADSs on Nasdaq will be unaffected by this decision. Therapix's ADSs will continue to trade on
the Nasdaq Capital Market and Therapix will remain subject to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and Nasdaq Capital Market applicable to listed companies.
Dr. Ascher Shmulewitz
, Therapix's CEO, commented, "Our technology, which requires a global presence, led us to decide to unify
trading on Nasdaq and take another important step towards achieving our goals."
