Engine Media Holdings (GAME.V) Announces Effectiveness of Registration Shelf and Listing Date for NASDAQ

Engine Media Holdings (GAME.V) announced today that a final short form base shelf prospectus, previously filed on March 25, 2021, and a corresponding shelf registration statement on Form F-10, have been deemed effective by the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

“We are immensely proud to announce these significant milestones as we continue to grow and enhance Engine’s profile within the U.S. capital markets, while attracting new investors and reinforcing our commitment to existing investors…Our U.S. shelf registration statement is now effective as well, which was one the steps that we have taken as part of our positioning to uplist on the Nasdaq,” said Lou Schwartz, CEO of Engine Media.
