iSonea Limited Announces Free Issuance Period for Conversion of KMLXF Shares to ISOAY ADRs
- KMLXF shares can be bundled into ISOAY ADRs at no charge
- BNY Mellon waives bundling fees February 1, 2013 to May 1, 2013
Severna Park, MD – January 9, 2013: Medical technology company iSonea Limited (ASX: ISN), (OTCQX: ISOAY), (OTC: KMLXF), announces a free issuance period through the Bank of New York Mellon whereby KMLXF shareholders may bundle their shares into American Depository Receipts (ADRs) to trade under the ISOAY symbol. The bundling fee will be waived by the Bank of New York Mellon for three months starting February 1, 2013 and ending on May 1, 2013.
iSonea Limited trades its ordinary shares on the Australian Stock Exchange under the ISN symbol. Each ISOAY ADR consists of a bundle of 500 ordinary shares.
The KMLXF shares represent ordinary Australian shares of ISN (formerly Karmelsonix) that have been settled in US dollars. Investors who still have KMLXF shares will be able on February 1 to convert those into iSonea ADRs with no fee charged.
Conversion of the KMLXF shares allows US investors to freely trade ADRs. This avoids costs and complexities, including currency exchange fluctuations, involved in buying shares on foreign exchanges.
"This is an excellent opportunity for our U.S. investors to bundle their KMLXF shares into ISOAY ADRs, for which we anticipate increased trading volume over time," said Michael Thomas, CEO of iSonea Limited. "BNY Mellon has graciously offered to waive the bundling fee for our shareholders for a three month period. We encourage all interested KMLXF shareholders to visit our website or contact BNY Mellon to take advantage of this opportunity."
