UBIC, Inc. (UBIC) (TSE:2158), a leading provider of Asian-language eDiscovery solutions and services, announced today that the listing of its American depositary shares (“ADSs”) was transferred to the Global Select Market, NASDAQ’s highest market tier.
The NASDAQ market has three tiers: the Global Select Market; the Global Market; and the Capital Market. Of those three tiers, the financial, liquidity and corporate governance requirements for the Global Select Market provide the most stringent listing criteria in the NASDAQ market. Companies listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market satisfy these requirements.
Masahiro Morimoto, UBIC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased that NASDAQ has recognized our company’s technological prowess and growth potential by selecting us for inclusion in its top-tier market, where we will trade alongside some of the world’s most innovative companies such as Apple, Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and Facebook. UBIC has come a long way in the short time since our listing on the NASDAQ on May 16, 2013, which marked the first time that a Japanese company went public on NASDAQ in 14 years. Going forward, we will continue to strive to achieve further business growth in order to meet the expectations of shareholders and investors.”
