Sept. 25, 2002 — Altair Nanotechnologies, a Reno, Nev.-based supplier of nanocrystalline materials, will begin trading on Nasdaq’s SmallCap market this morning, according to Ed Dickinson, chief financial officer.
The stock, which has been trading on the Nasdaq National market, will continue trading under its current symbol, ALTI. The move to the SmallCap was necessary because the company no longer meets the equity or stock bid requirements of the National market.
Dickinson said the move will not affect trading of the company’s stock. “For the average shareholder, it’s going to be transparent,” he said.
