On September 21, 2020, pursuant to a statutory scheme of arrangement under U.K. law, all of Summit Therapeutics plc’s outstanding ordinary shares were exchanged on a five-for-one basis for newly issued shares of Summit Therapeutics Inc.’s common stock. Summit Therapeutics plc’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) had traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SMMT” since March 2015 and its ordinary shares previously traded on AIM, a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange plc, under the symbol “SUMM”. Each ADS represented five ordinary shares of Summit Therapeutics plc. We canceled the admission of the ordinary shares to trading on AIM on February 24, 2020.
The following graph illustrates a comparison for the five years ended December 31, 2024 of the cumulative total return for our common stock (prior to September 21, 2020, Summit Therapeutics plc’s ADSs), the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index each of which assumes an initial investment of $100. Such returns are based on historical results and are not intended to suggest future performance.
The comparison shown in the graph below are based upon historical data. We caution that the stock price performance shown in the graph below is not necessarily indicative of, nor is it intended to forecast, the potential future performance of our common stock.
