The OTCQB quality standards provide a strong baseline of transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading experience for investors.

By meeting and maintaining the stricter eligibility requirements of the OTCQB listing, the Company benefits from Blue-Sky exemptions, certain U.S. state securities laws, which has the potential to further enhance trading volumes through an expansion of investment advisers’ ability to recommend investments to their U.S. clients.
