Fort Technology Inc. (TSXV:FORT) announced today that it has received approval from Nasdaq to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with trading expected to commence on Monday, June 8, 2026, under the ticker symbol FRTT. The company will maintain its listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, where shares will continue to trade under FORT.
The Nasdaq listing is anticipated to enhance the company's visibility among U.S. investors, improve trading liquidity, and broaden access to U.S. capital markets, according to the press release. No action is required by shareholders in connection with the listing.
Fort Technology Inc. operates as an established manufacturer and seller of amateur and professional products for the pest control and remedial repair industries. Its material subsidiary, Fort Products Limited, has operated in the pest control industry since 2005, accumulating nearly 20 years of technical experience.
The move to Nasdaq represents a strategic step for the company to tap into deeper capital pools and attract a wider investor base. For U.S. investors, the listing provides easier access to trade Fort's shares on a major U.S. exchange, potentially increasing demand and liquidity. The pest control industry, which has seen steady demand due to urbanization and climate change, may benefit from Fort's expanded financial flexibility to invest in product development and market expansion.
Forward-looking statements in the release highlight expectations for the listing's benefits but also caution about risks and uncertainties. The company's registration statement on Form 20-F (File No. 001-43178), as filed with the SEC on May 1, 2026, provides detailed risk factors. Additional filings are available on SEDAR+.
This development matters because it signals Fort's growth ambitions and could lead to increased institutional investment, funding for R&D, and strategic acquisitions. For the industry, it may encourage other Canadian companies to pursue dual listings. However, actual outcomes depend on market conditions and execution of business plans.
