Cumulus Media on Wednesday quietly initiated trading on the OTC exchange under the ticker symbol “CMIA,” and saw volume of 50,000 shares traded.
The value of Cumulus’ new shares is significantly higher than as “CMLSQ,” which was a penny stock now written off to the history books.
With no active trading on Thursday following its June 13 debut, CMIA shares are valued at $14.50.
That’s significantly higher than the activity seen for “CMLSQ” on June 4, its final day of trading. At the Closing Bell, those shares ended their trading life at $0.0311 as the company announced that it had successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 having reduced its debt by more than $1 billion.
Meanwhile, historical data for “CMLS” cannot be publicly seen on market trading platforms such as Yahoo! Business; this ticker symbol will likely replace “CMIA” in the coming weeks.
