Ayr Strategies Returns to OTCQX Best Market Under Ticker Symbol “AYRWF”

TORONTO, Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ayr Strategies (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“Ayr” or “the Company”), a leading vertically integrated cannabis multi-state operator, is pleased to announce that its shares, under new ticker symbol “AYRWF,” returned to quotation on the OTCQX® Best Market exchange earlier today. There is no action required by shareholders. On December 4, 2020, Ayr began trading in the U.S. under the new symbol after an administrative issue at FINRA caused the unexpected retirement of the former ticker symbol and temporary suspension of trading on the OTCQX. The most effective and immediate remedy to the situation was for the Company to establish a new symbol and begin immediate trading on the OTC Pink Open Market. Throughout this period, the Company’s shares have traded without disruption on the CSE under the ticker “AYR.A” and will continue to do so going forward.

The Company is aware that several brokerage firms are still experiencing reporting issues in the holdings of AYRWF in client portfolios, but this is expected to be resolved shortly. Shareholders should contact their brokerage firms regarding any ongoing reporting or trading issues still impacting their holdings of AYRWF after 24 hours.
