The company said its shares will start trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market Thursday under the "MB" ticker symbol and the offering is expected to close Friday.

Additionally, the company said certain shareholders plan to resell about 1.8 million shares. The company will not receive any proceeds from these sales, MasterBeef said.
