“Trading on the New York Stock Exchange represents yet another important milestone in Globalstar’s resurgence and has been made possible by our many important accomplishments over the past twelve months,” said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar. “Listing on the NYSE will enhance the Company’s trading liquidity as well as its visibility, all to the benefit of our loyal stockholders who have stuck with us over the past many years. Do not think for a moment that we are finished or that we plan to rest. Quite frankly, we are just getting started and look forward to continuing our resurgence.”
On April 21st, Globalstar celebrated its listing and first trade by ringing the bell at the NYSE. The company’s slogan is “Be Heard.” Following the ringing of the bell, Globalstar tweeted “we rang the bell and we were heard.”
They began trading under the ticker symbol “GSAT”.
“We welcome Globalstar to the NYSE community and look forward to a strong partnership with the Company and its stockholders,” said Scott Cutler, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Listings at NYSE Euronext. “Globalstar will join other high technology companies that benefit from NYSE’s trusted and reliable platform.”
