3. Listing Requirements and Timeline
AI OKTO has filed a Form 20-F registration statement for listing its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Completion of the spin-off and commencement of trading depend on the registration statement’s effectiveness and approval of Nasdaq listing, with timing subject to regulatory review.
4. Shareholder Entitlements and Mechanics
Robin Energy shareholders need not take any action or surrender shares to receive AI OKTO stock. Fractional AI OKTO shares will be aggregated into whole shares, sold on the open market at prevailing rates, and net cash proceeds distributed pro rata to eligible shareholders.
