I fixed the symbol.
If someone will message me when the name change occurs, I'll change the thread subject to the new name.
Pharmacopeia, Inc. to Change Its Trading Symbol to `ACCL'
PRINCETON, N.J. - PRNewswire-FirstCall - Feb. 26
PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmacopeia, Inc. ("Pharmacopeia") today announced that, beginning on Friday, February 27, 2004, its common stock will trade on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol "ACCL."
Pharmacopeia's decision to change its ticker symbol is in anticipation of its plan to separate its drug discovery and software businesses into two publicly traded companies through the spin-off to its stockholders of the drug discovery unit, Pharmacopeia Drug Discovery, Inc. ("PDD"). The separation is expected to occur by the end of the first calendar quarter of 2004.
After the spin-off, Pharmacopeia will continue to operate its Accelrys scientific software business. To better reflect this singular focus, Pharmacopeia intends to request that its stockholders approve the change of its name to "Accelrys, Inc." at its upcoming 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The change in Pharmacopeia's ticker symbol to "ACCL" is consistent with Pharmacopeia's plan to change its name to "Accelrys, Inc."
For its part, PDD has applied for the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol "PCOP." If approved, PDD's stock would be listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "PCOP" effective as of the completion of the spin-off.
