High Times Announces Trading Symbol Ahead of Planned Listing

Hightimes Holding Corp., the owner of High Times®, the most well-known brand in cannabis, has announced that it has been approved for trading and has received its ticker symbol from FINRA. Upon completion of certain regulatory formalities, Hightimes will trade under the symbol “HTHC.”

The company, which is presently conducting a Reg A+ IPO, has garnered over $20,000,000 in investments from more than 25,000 shareholders. The High Times organization believes the ticker HTHC, an acronym for Hightimes Holding Corp., best identifies the company’s next chapter. The company polled its investors to decide the company’s ticker, receiving over 82% in support of the HTHC symbol.

“We’re extremely excited to shortly complete our Regulation A + process and commence trading – this approval for trading has been a long time coming! The support from our shareholders has been overwhelming, and this was really a decision which we sought input from our over 25,000 investors,” said Adam Levin, Hightimes Holding Corp.’s Executive Chairman. “We have an incredible community of investors who are actively engaging with our brand, and our community is growing by the day!”

“What better way to enter the public markets than crowdsourcing our ticker? This was truly a community decision. We wanted to open this up to our shareholders as this will be a symbol that defines us all for years to come,” Hightimes Chief Executive Officer Stormy Simon noted.

Mr. Levin continued, ”We believe that the Hightimes Regulation A+ investment campaign has proven to be one of the most successful offerings of its type – across any industry.”

This marks the last opportunity to become a shareholder ahead of the company’s listing on the public markets.
