SYDNEY--Buy-now-pay-later company Splitit Payments Ltd. said American depository receipts in the company will trade on the over-the-counter exchange OTCQX in an effort to increase its exposure to U.S. brokers, analysts and investors.
悉尼--先買後付公司Splitit Payments Ltd.表示，該公司的美國存託憑證將在場外交易所OTCQX進行交易，以努力增加其對美國經紀商、分析師和投資者的敞口。
Splitit, which allows credit-card holders to use untapped funds on existing accounts to make purchases via installment payments, said the ADRs would complement its existing listing on the Australian Securities Exchange. It said it was not issuing new shares or raising capital.
Splitit表示，ADR將補充其在澳大利亞證券交易所(Australian Securities Exchange)的現有上市。Splitit允許信用卡持有人使用現有賬户上的未動用資金，通過分期付款進行購買。該公司表示，不會發行新股或籌集資金。
Interim Chief Executive John Harper was appointed in August and immediately said he was focused on growing Splitit, which competes in the crowded installment-payment space against the likes of Afterpay Ltd., Affirm Holdings Inc. and PayPal Holdings Inc., in its core markets. On Wednesday he said the ADR program was a response to demand from North America-based institutional investors.
臨時首席執行長哈珀(John Harper)在8月份被任命為臨時首席執行長，他立即表示，他正專注於發展Splitit。在擁擠的分期付款領域，Splitit在核心市場與Afterpay Ltd.、confirm Holdings Inc.和PayPal等公司展開競爭。週三，他表示，ADR計劃是對北美機構投資者需求的迴應。
"The opportunity to increase visibility and liquidity to U.S. investors is an important step for Splitit, and we look forward to engaging with more U.S. Investors over time," Mr. Harper said in a statement.
哈珀在一份聲明中説，“提高美國投資者的知名度和流動性的機會對Splitit來説是重要的一步，我們期待着隨着時間的推移與更多的美國投資者接觸。”
Splitit shares are down 75% so far in 2021.
