MONTGOMERYVILLE, Pa., Apr 27, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --PhotoMedex, Inc. (NasdaqGS: PHMD) today announced that it intends to file an application for registration of shares of its common stock for dual listing on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (the "TASE"), as approved by the Company's board of directors. Dual listing on the TASE is allowed under Israeli law without any additional regulatory requirements for companies whose shares are listed on certain accredited stock exchanges outside of Israel, including the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
Upon being accepted for listing, PhotoMedex will be assigned a TASE ticker symbol and will be eligible for inclusion in TASE indices.
In the event that PhotoMedex's ordinary shares are accepted for listing on the TASE, such shares will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market in the United States, and PhotoMedex will remain subject to the rules and regulations of NASDAQ and of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, chief executive officer of PhotoMedex said, "We believe that listing the Company's shares on the TASE will provide additional exposure to the Israeli investment community, and thus will increase interest in PhotoMedex among Israel's large and sophisticated institutional investors, increase trading volume if PhotoMedex's ordinary shares are included in the various TASE indices, as well as provide trading access for European investors during regular European business hours. We look forward to completing our application and subsequent approval by the TASE."
