Amaroq Engages Arion Bank for Market-Making Services
Amaroq Minerals Ltd. has recently entered into a market-making agreement with Arion Bank, a significant step for the company as it enhances its trading dynamics on the Icelandic market. This collaboration will primarily involve the trading of Amaroq's Icelandic depositary receipts, helping to facilitate smoother financial transactions and greater liquidity for investors.
Understanding the Market-Making Agreement
Under the terms of the agreement established on January 24, the services of Arion Bank will ensure that buy and sell quotes are consistently available on Nasdaq Iceland. This means investors looking to trade Amaroq's depositary receipts will find it easier to engage, as Arion Bank is required to provide a bid and ask of at least 50,000 receipts at nominal value. Furthermore, the bid-ask spread is expected to remain competitive, closely aligning with 1.50%, offering a solid framework for actual trades.
The Financial Framework
Amaroq will compensate Arion Bank approximately ISK 3,850,000 per quarter, which translates to around C$39,000. This agreement allows for flexibility in fees, meaning Arion Bank may increase fees at its discretion with appropriate notice. This open-ended contract provides Amaroq with continued support from Arion Bank, which regulates and monitors the market performance of its depositary receipts.
