Quantum eMotion Moves Closer to NYSE American Listing

Quantum eMotion CA74767K1030

Quantum eMotion, a Canadian cybersecurity firm specializing in quantum-resistant technologies, has initiated a formal application to list its shares on a major U.S. exchange. The company filed a Form 40-F Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 22, 2026, marking a pivotal step toward securing a spot on the NYSE American.

This strategic move aims to transition the company from its current listings on Canada's TSX Venture Exchange and the U.S. OTCQB market. An upgrade to the NYSE American platform is anticipated to enhance the firm's visibility and appeal to a broader investor base.

The company's expansion plans are supported by a strong balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025, Quantum eMotion reported holding approximately CAD $24.7 million in cash. This substantial liquidity originated partly from a private placement completed in February 2025, which raised CAD $10 million through the sale of units priced at $0.75 each.

These funds are earmarked to support ongoing certification processes and commercialization efforts within the quantum cybersecurity sector. This field is attracting increased attention as the potential threat quantum computers pose to classical encryption standards becomes more widely recognized.

Building Momentum: Recent Strategic Initiatives

The SEC filing follows a series of strategic announcements from the Montreal-based company in recent months, underscoring its push to establish a deeper presence in the United States:

• April 2025: Establishment of a U.S. subsidiary, Quantum eMotion America, headquartered in Irvine, California.
• December 2025: Inclusion in the Québec-based Kirq quantum communications testbed.
• December 2025: A partnership formed with Greybox to enable remote patient monitoring in U.S. senior living facilities.
• Late December 2025: Quantum eMotion became the largest holding within the Defiance Quantum ETF.

Regulatory Approval is the Final Hurdle

While the Form 40-F submission sets the formal process in motion, final approval is not guaranteed. The listing remains contingent upon the NYSE American's acceptance and Quantum eMotion satisfying all regulatory prerequisites, including the SEC declaring the registration statement effective.

The company has stated it will provide further updates as material developments occur. A successful listing would represent a significant milestone, granting Quantum eMotion access to a larger pool of institutional U.S. investors and potentially increasing the trading liquidity of its shares—a key consideration for many market participants.
