 AIkido Pharma Inc. Nasdaq: AIKI AIkido or the Company today announced that the distribution date for the previously announced distribution to our stockholders of shares of Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. Hoth will not be taking place today, May 4, 2020, because of the requirement that the shares be registered prior to distribution. AIkido will provide a distribution date for the distribution of the shares promptly once the registration statement is declared effective. The Company is waiting on Hoth to seek acceleration of the registration statement, which is a prerequisite for distribution. We hope for this to be done shortly and will update shareholders as soon as possible. The record date has not changed and individuals who were shareholders at 4pm on April 30th, 2020 will be receiving the dividend. No further action is required.
