VANCOUVER, Jan. 31, 2017 /CNW/ - Pan American Silver
Corp. (NASDAQ:PAAS; TSX:PAA) ("Pan American" or the "Company")
today announced that, effective the start of trading on
Wednesday, February 1, 2017, Pan
American's stock ticker symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX") will change from its original three-letter symbol, "PAA" to
"PAAS" (TSX: PAAS).
This root symbol change does not require any action by current
shareholders. There is no change in the Company's name, no change
in its CUSIP number and no consolidation of capital, and there are
no steps that need to be taken with respect to previously issued
share certificates.
Pan American requested the change to its ticker symbol in
Canada following the new
permissions introduced by the TSX that allow companies to use a
four-letter symbol. The change will align the Company's
Canadian ticker symbol with its U.S. ticker symbol on NASDAQ, which
remains "PAAS" (NASDAQ:PAAS).
