Advasa Holdings, Inc., a fintech holding company specializing in Earned Wage Access (EWA) through its Japanese subsidiary, Advasa Co., Ltd., has recently notified investors of a change in the date for the commencement of trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. Originally set for August 18, 2026, the trading launch has been postponed to August 20, 2026, during Eastern Market hours from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (ET), which corresponds to 10:30 PM to 5:00 AM JST the next day.

The announcement followed the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) effectiveness of the Form S-1 registration statement on August 11, 2026. This registration grants Advasa the opportunity to move forward with its initial public offering (IPO), which represents a significant milestone for the company.

Grady Ryther, CEO and Director of Advasa, expressed that the Nasdaq listing marks an essential point not only for Advasa but also for all the workers benefiting from the platform they support. He emphasized that their mission from the launch of FUKUPE in Japan has focused on promoting the financial well-being of all workers. Gaining a foothold on Nasdaq will provide the necessary recognition, credibility, and access to capital markets essential for accelerating this mission globally.

As part of their direct listing, WestPark Capital, Inc. is serving as the financial advisor, while Anthony, Linder & Cacomanolis, PLLC acts as the legal counsel for securities matters. This direct listing will only be conducted based on the prospectus that forms part of their effective registration statement. Copies of the prospectus can be accessed for free on the SEC's EDGAR website.

Notably, this announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities. The sale of the company's common stock will comply with applicable securities laws of each state or jurisdiction before any solicitation or offer can be made legally.
