Nitro trading halt
Nitro Software requested a trading halt this morning. The company said the trading of its shares should be suspended while it waits to receive a proposal relating to a potential change of control transaction.
There are several things a change of control transaction could mean in this scenario but, usually, it involves transferring assets from one entity to another.
The halt was requested until Nitro Software either makes the intended announcement from the proposal or until the start of trade on Wednesday.
Yesterday, Nitro shares closed more than 6% lower amid the company posting a $25 million loss in its earnings report for FY22.
