Item 5. Full Description of Material Change
On August 21, 2006, the Company received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. to list its common shares on the NASDAQ Global market (formerly the NASDAQ National market) (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ANOR”. The Company’s common shares will begin trading on NASDAQ upon the completion of certain final regulatory requirements, which the Company currently expects will occur prior to the end of September 2006. Upon the Company’s common shares becoming listed on NASDAQ, the common shares will be de-listed from the American Stock Exchange. The Company believes that transferring its listing to NASDAQ will provide the Company with enhanced access to the broader capital markets in connection with potential future stock offerings. AnorMED shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in addition to NASDAQ. The Company intends to maintain both listings for the foreseeable future.
