Advasa Holdings Inc announced on August 20, 2026 that its common stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "ADBT" on August 25, 2026. This represents a one-week delay from the previously anticipated date of August 18, 2026. The rescheduling is intended to facilitate the final coordination and completion of standard administrative clearing procedures required for an orderly market debut.

The company is currently working with its transfer agent, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), and brokerage clearing participants to finalize the electronic intake and credit of shares held by selling stockholders into the DTC system and individual brokerage accounts. This process aims to ensure synchronized execution capabilities across domestic and international extended-hours trading platforms, including Japanese overnight and after-market sessions.

Listing Mechanics and Timeline

Nasdaq’s regular market session begins at 9:30 am Eastern Time (ET). However, because Advasa is listing through a public direct listing, trading is not expected to commence simultaneously with the opening of the regular market session. The opening trading price will be determined through Nasdaq’s opening auction process based on buy and sell orders. Following the completion of applicable Nasdaq procedures and the opening auction, trading in the company’s common stock is expected to commence. The actual commencement time may occur after 9:30 am ET and may vary depending on market conditions and order activity.

The company’s registration statement on Form S-1, relating to the public direct listing of its common stock, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 11, 2026. The common stock has been approved for listing on Nasdaq. Investors can access the prospectus via the SEC’s EDGAR website.

Subject to individual brokerage timelines and account restrictions, trading is expected to be accessible through the following securities firms in Japan upon or shortly after the expected trading commencement date:

• Monex Inc
• Rakuten Securities Inc
• SBI SECURITIES Co Ltd
• Webull Securities (Japan) Co Ltd

Japanese investors are advised to consult their respective Japanese brokerage platforms directly to confirm exact trading hours, potential local restrictions, and fee structures.
