CLEARWATER — Bovie Medical Corp., a Clearwater-based maker of medical supplies and devices for cosmetic surgery practices, has changed its name to Apyx Medical Corp. and plans to move its stock to the NASDAQ exchange.
At present, the company’s stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. As of Jan. 2, according to a press release, the stock will transition to NASDAQ with a new ticker symbol: APYX.
“We are pleased to join the world’s most innovative and growth-oriented companies listed on NASDAQ and are excited to partner with NASDAQ to leverage trading liquidity, enhanced visibility for issuers, leading technology and cost efficiencies,” states Charlie Goodwin, the company’s president and CEO, in the release. “We also announced a corporate rebranding and company name change to Apyx Medical Corp., which is the final milestone resulting from the previously announced divestiture and sale of the core business segment and Bovie brand to Symmetry Surgical Inc.”
