QUEBEC, QC / ACCESS Newswire / June 29, 2026 / NuRAN Wireless Inc. ("NuRAN" or the "Company") (CSE:NUR)(OTC PINK:NRRWF)(FSE:1RN), a pioneering rural connectivity company and one of Africa's fastest-growing Network-as-a-Service ("NaaS") operators, is pleased to announce that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has declared the Company's Form 40-F registration statement (File No. 000-56857) (the "40-F Registration Statement") effective as of June 26, 2026, pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This milestone removes the single most significant regulatory barrier to NuRAN's U.S. listing. With the 40-F now effective, NuRAN's common shares are officially registered with the SEC - a critical prerequisite to listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and opening the Company's story to the full universe of American investors. NuRAN connects millions of people across Africa's most remote communities to affordable wireless networks, and today's SEC registration means U.S. investors can now participate in that mission.
Key Milestone Highlights
SEC Order Issued June 26, 2026: The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, acting pursuant to delegated authority, issued an Order Declaring Registration Effective (File No. 000-56857), effective immediately.
Filed Under MJDS: The 40-F Registration Statement was prepared and filed pursuant to the SEC's Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (MJDS), which allows eligible Canadian issuers to register securities with the SEC using existing Canadian continuous disclosure materials.
Exchange Act Section 12(g) Registration: NuRAN's common shares are now registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act - a key statutory step toward listing on a U.S. national securities exchange.
Nasdaq Listing Pending: The Company's application to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market remains under review and is subject to Nasdaq's satisfaction of all applicable listing requirements. No assurance can be provided that such listing will be obtained.
EDGAR Availability: The 40-F Registration Statement and all exhibits are publicly available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov (File No. 000-56857).
Why This Matters
SEC effectiveness means NuRAN's securities are now legally registered with the world's largest securities regulator. Under the MJDS framework, NuRAN will be able to satisfy a substantial portion of its ongoing U.S. reporting obligations by filing with the SEC the same annual disclosure documents it already prepares for Canadian regulators - a significant administrative efficiency for a high-growth company focused on deploying capital into African markets. A Nasdaq listing, if and when achieved, is expected to dramatically expand NuRAN's investor base to include U.S. institutional and retail investors focused on emerging market infrastructure, digital inclusion, and ESG-aligned opportunities.
