Gamer Pakistan Will Be Trading On NASDAQ Under the Ticker Symbol “GPAK”

Gamer Pakistan has two subsidiaries:

• K2 Gamer Pakistan (PVT) Ltd.
• Elite Sports Pakistan Pvt. Ltd.

Reports claim that the Nasdaq Opening Bell rang on October 9 from 9:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET. The Pakistani esports company started to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Monday under the ticker symbol “GPAK”. Moreover, Gamer Pakistan also announced the pricing of its initial public offering (IPO) of 1,700,000 of $4.00 price per share on 28th September. The Nasdaq Opening Bell Ringing Ceremony is actually a tradition that dates back to 1953. It is a way to honor the success of new companies trading on the Nasdaq exchange. In addition, the ceremony is also a way to promote the Nasdaq exchange in order to attract new investors.

The company operates through K2 Gamer, in which it has 90% ownership. It is pertinent to mention here that this company generates no profit or revenue. Mercurius & Associates LLP, the company’s auditor, states:

“The shortfall raises substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

GPAK has plans to organize 12 or more events in 2023. Moreover, it aims to make up for its revenue shortfall. Right now, the company plans to focus on colleges and institutions to grow to other sectors and even explore live sports in the future.
