GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , announced it has received approval for a new stock trading symbol from FINRA Operations. Effective March 31, 2010, Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. will trade under the symbol “AMPE,” and Ampio’s common stock will carry a new CUSIP number, 03209T 109. The symbol change follows the March 24 change in the company’s corporate name from Chay Enterprises, Inc. to Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and its reincorporation in Delaware.
“In less than one year, Ampio has gone from acquiring our intellectual property centered around new uses for previously approved drugs, to rounding out our management team, to becoming a public company, and to implementing our name change and change in corporate domicile,” said Don Wingerter, CEO of Ampio. “As we look forward to implementing the next steps in our strategic growth plan, we felt it was an appropriate time to reincorporate in Delaware with its highly predictable corporate environment.”
