- Until then, the company prefers to keep its shares suspended from trading on the ASX.
Australian biotechnology company Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB) has requested ASX for a ‘voluntary’ suspension of trading of its fully paid ordinary shares on the ASX. The company has sought some more time to complete the capital raising.

The announcement is expected to come out on 10 August 2022. As a result, Mesoblast is expected to begin trading on the ASX from Wednesday onwards (10 August). However, the company did not reveal any prior information related to the capital raising as of yet.
