SPI Energy, headed by Xiaofeng Peng, formerly chairman and chief executive of Chinese manufacturer LDK Solar, will ring the opening bell at the Nasdaq on 19 January.
Shares of SPI currently trade on an over-the-counter basis in the US, giving the company lower reporting requirements. From next week, however, its shares will trade under the ticker symbol ‘SPI’ on the Nasdaq Global Select Market – the highest tier within the New York-based Nasdaq Stock Market.
