Exhibit 99.1
Jewett-Cameron Changes NASDAQ Trading Symbol
NORTH PLAINS, Ore. / October 8, 2024 / Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (“Jewett-Cameron”) (Nasdaq: JCTCF), a company committed to innovative products that enrich outdoor spaces, is changing its NASDAQ trading symbol for its common shares.
The trading symbol is changing from “JCTCF” to “JCTC”, effective October 9, 2024.
Since Jewett-Cameron completed its initial SEC registration and subsequent NASDAQ listing in 1996, the trading symbol has been JCTCF. The “F” as the fifth character denoting a foreign corporation was originally included because Jewett-Cameron is incorporated in British Columbia. This designation has led to confusion with some investors thinking the Company is located outside the USA, even though the Company’s operations and headquarters have always been, and continue to be, located in Oregon. By dropping the fifth character F from our trading symbol, we believe it will help investors to gain a better understanding of Jewett-Cameron as a US based company.
